DEAD MONEY

So this guy sits down at the 1-2/60 max game at Viejas with $2000 behind. I thought it was the guy who won the progressive rollover $2900 poker drawing they had announced earlier. Well, it wasn't. It was a guy I now know as "Crazy Mike" and everyone of the regulars knows him. He moves in every single hand for $60 and actually WANTS to give it away, literally. Apparently he is very wealthy even though he looks about 25 years old. I guess that he had some type of inheritance or something. He brings with him a box of lollipops (Tootsie Roll) and makes everyone have one or he won't play. He also tried to be the banker for everyone if they needed to cash in for more chips. He was at table 2 for starters and I was at table 4. Several people put in for table changes after we found out what was going on, myself included. This guy was GIVING money away $60 at a time. At least until he won a pot or two then $2-300 for that hand. Well, as luck would have it, he spent 1 hour at table 2 and then moved to our table. I waited and waited and picked up AA, but another guy with a BIG stack had shipped it before me.. Ouch! I had $118 and was stuck a little, probably $60. Long story short I ship and the rockets hold for a triple up to +$300. I don't leave though as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I ended up giving back a buyin with AK missing to 99 and his XX, but continued to play until he left then the table settled and we broke after another 30 mins or so. Moved to another table with about $170 or so and ran it up to $228 so ended up a slight amount for the evening after being stuck most the night. Very interesting night of poker... it's late, gnite.
