Default A 100 years ago, he\'d a shot ya!

This is a story to tell my grandkids on day.

There is this little asian (LA) guy at my 20-40 table here in Harrah's New Orleans.

He's stuck a lot. He tries to pull an angle on me after getting cards and trying not to post behind the button. (floor comes over to settle it, he was called by the dealer)
After he posts, I complete in the SB, the BB checks, then dealer scoops all the money in to the pot, THEN the LA says wait he wants to raise. I say no way, call the floor back. Floor says no raise. I flop top pair with my 97, where he 4bets me on the flop and bets the turn and river with his A2o no pair and I scoop the pot.

About 4 hands later, he gets up and walks over to me and smashes his full beer over my head.

While I'm sitting there in shock he's apprehended and arrested.

I'm so lucky. only several small minor cuts on my ear and head, and one big lump. My head hurts and my neck is killing me.

The EMT, while cleaning out my head says, "Hey be thankful, 100 years ago he'd a shot ya!"

I must have just left when it happened. I'd asked one of the dealers at my table if anything like this had happened in the last couple of nights. With the WSOP attitude in the air, I figured it was a matter of time.

New Orleans EMTs have seen some awful stuff, but they still have a sense of humor. I don't know where he got the "100 years ago" line since there are about 400 GSWs a year down here.

Good God, man. That's a pretty good story. I was in another room and heard about some guy who got a bottle broken over his head. I didn't really believe the story - and knowing what started it makes it sound even more incredible. Crazy how some people get. If you can't afford to play....

that's a pretty terrible thing to have happen to you and he's a total idiot, but what does his ethnicity have to do with anything? why do you even bring it up?

Maybe so we could get a mental picutre of the situation? You know how when you read a book, they tell you what the characters look like, even if they are bad characters? That's not racism.

This morning, my head is killing me and my neck hurts.
