Kuala Lumpur, but he decided long ago that "Minneapolis Jim" played better in poker circles than "Malaysia Rashid."

I also took a piss next to him, at the Rio during WSOP, i think Phil Gordon was in there too. I'll never wash these eyes again.

He has a bracelet and over $1 million in tournament wins. If I had to guess, I would guess that he's probably a decent poker player.

He's actually from South Africa. He used to wrestle in the ECW as "Jonestown" Jim Meehan until an unfortunate accident when he was interfering during a midget match (I won't go into details). He then moved to the Caribean where he became a Rastafarian and changed his name to Jamaica Jim. He then came to the states and began playing poker, however, he never abandoned his Rastafarianism. The cigarette he holds is a cleverly concealed joint.

Where is Jim from anyways?

Burnsville, actually (I think). Of course, if you're not from around here, that probably doesn't mean anything and its easier to go with "Minneapolis". [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

As best I can tell, he drinks like a fish and has about thousand moves. He usually stacks his chips in uneven stacks in a deliberately unkempt manner. He sweats all the time. He plays slowly. He cofeehouses. He twitches and drinks. He rechecks cards he knows, then plays a hand without looking at it. He wears a silly-ass hat and takes frequent breaks to smoke long, thin cigarettes. He's a frequent raiser but mucks to big moves behind him. He's a nit. And he types in ALL-CAPS.

I don't mind playing against him except that he slows play waaaaaaay down. I was trapped at a table with him and Men when both were drinking and I thought I was going to die of frustration. Once he watches some tape of Tiffany Williamson, I suspect he'll start checking HIS nails, too.

But I don't think he had nine tackles for losses in 1995.

This is a very good descritption of ol' Jim. I really hate playing with him for the reasons you mentioned but also because he talks non stop and just spews nonsense.
