Never seen anything like that at AC. Some drunks, bad losers, and arguments, but no fights.

...Mixing drinking and gambling seems like an iffy proposition at best. Luckily, living in L.A and frequenting the card rooms here, I've yet to see violence erupt at the tables.

I think the reality is some people just should not gamble.

Back in the day I had a friend that enjoyed going to cock fights (the birds not the body parts). He knew I was a gambler and didn't understand why I never went with him. I finally explained it to him this way: There are 3 things at cock fights, lots of money, lots of liquer, and lots of guns. Those 3 things do not mix very well.

I was at Commerce on Friday.
Starring at my table, a drunken 73 y.o. guy with exactly 2 teeth eating chicken satay (must see to believe), and 3 drunk Russians with open shirts, an overgrowth of chest hair, and lots of gold chains.

I'm not going to be able to do it justice, but here was like 30 sec of one of the drunk Russians stream-of-consciousness crap:

"No no no I am RUSSIAN. We are the best people in the world. Are you mix? Oh, a Jew? Are you Russian Jew?"

Old guy: "The Russians treated the Jews like [censored]. I was there."

Drunk Russian:"Haven't you hear of revolution? Oh yeah, I am coming in front door this time! Who is that blonde? FLUSH!"

Old guy: "Of course you can't say anything like this in Russia, they'll send the KBG after you."

Drunk Russian, to woman across the table:"You have very big eyes."

Old guy: "He's MAKING A PLAY FOR THE GIRL"

Drunk Russian: "No I am not, she is ugly"
...

Later, after it got out of hand, security guy shows up with thick New york accent and no neck!

Security guy: "Sir you cannot assault the guests"
DR: "I touched no one."
SG: "You have verbally assaulted one of the guests"
DR: "I told her she is ugly. She is ugly. It is the truth. I cannot assault anyone with the truth."

He gets removed from the premises.

2 mins later:
Old guy: "Now I can make a play for the girl."

Just think how bad it was in the Old West when each man is sitting at the table with a couple of six shooters.
