    WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart tweets at Shane Schleger about "being fucked in the ass"

    Shane Schleger, who apparently is now just a casual player, attended the WSOP this year, decided he wasn't very happy with the Rio or the WSOP. He unleashed a large number of tweets about the matter, starting on Wednesday:


    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 17
    I think I speak for everyone when I say, "definitely never staying at the Rio again."

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 17
    Mostly I just feel bad for the city of Rio de Janeiro itself. It doesn't deserve the association.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Unbelievable how creepy Vegas has become. In all likelihood I'll play exactly one more WSOP event lifetime. Could be zero. #EIE

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    See WSOP does nothing to improve the game yet its staff is willing to shame Dan Colman when he chooses not to participate in the pig circus.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Incidentally, improving the game involves a whole lot more then increasing attendance by adding 777 gimmick events.

    Luke Johnston @LuukeJohnston
    @ShaneSchleger Done nothing to improve the game? Structures are insanely better than ever. Almost too good. What exactly do you want?

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Shane Schleger retweeted Luke Johnston
    Hospitality. Responsiveness to players request without the combativeness. Less bureaucracy.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    not a Colman fan, but he has right to demure from publicity w/o it being made to seem unreasonable from the people HE IS PAYING TO PLAY

    The card marking debacle outlined by @DMBakes (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...EnIHjWsYc/edit …) is great example of corporate cluelessness and adversial approach.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Here we are talking about a situation where easily fixable design flaw threatens integrity of the game and costs ethical players $$$$$$.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    And instead of this being fixed weeks ago, there's ongoing run around and doublespeak (we know the problem, we will address it, etc) @WSOP

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Shane Schleger retweeted Kevin Mathers
    I like Jack. Liked Johnny Grooms too! Individuals at the top are fine but rotten corporate culture ruins it for all.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Could rant all day, but WSOP has sucked away enough time + energy for now. You turned the focal point of our summer into doo-doo @WSOP--WP!

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    GIVE THEM TIME THEY WILL GET IT RIGHT EVENTUALLY!!! @bdbeatslayer #Oh

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Look it's not them, it's we the CRAZY COMPLAINING POKER PLAYERS. @bdbeatslayer

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    It takes many years--MANY YEARS--to establish effecient systems for things like registration and stress-testing playing cards @bdbeatslayer

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    The funny thing is I have no philosophical issue with paying massive rake and $5 for a small AQUAFINA. FREE MARKET BABY @bdbeatslayer !!!

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    However, in return may I ask @WSOP to STOP PISSING ON US AND TELLING US IT'S RAINING. @bdbeatslayer ?!?!?

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    [b]Wait, am I being "bad for the game?" Let me be worse.[b] @bdbeatslayer

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    To all my recreational playing Tweeps, I strongly suggest you spend your time + money ANYWHERE besides @WSOP this summer @bdbeatslayer !!!

    Shane Schleger
    ‏@ShaneSchleger
    Lol I'm being told room service at Rio only runs from 5am-11am and 5pm-11pm? In a way I respect them for basically giving up.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Also, just, are you fucking KIDDING ME? Cornerstone of any "resort hotel/casino" should 24/7 room service

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Does anyone know the number for the better business bureau in Las Vegas? I have some complaints.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Oh wait....RESORT FEES LOFLLLLL

    Daniel Strelitz @Ddeoxyribo
    @ShaneSchleger encouraging someone to boycott is not constructive. Letting them know how to improve is.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    No they've had years to improve + instead keep fucking us in the ass. Id rather advise friends to use time elsewhere

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    I love how the solution to poker's problems is "hold up yo, keep a happy face for the 'suckers'" when it's WE THE SUCKERS who are miserable!

    Ty Stewart @wsopSUITd
    @ShaneSchleger reading all w/interest. if u have any specific concerns u want addressed, DM + will do my best. More tweets today than Kevmath

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    Thanks but I prefer to air my grievances here.


    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    1) I speak as a semi casual (non pro) poker player but one who has nonetheless spent 11 summers at the Rio @wsopSUITd ...

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    2) I like @wsopSUITd and @WSOPTD and Kevin the floor and the dealers and INDIVIDUALS in your organization. Many fine things about WSOP...

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    3) I am reacting to what I co spider an increasingly hostile "top down" culture felt by the customer @wsopSUITd...

    Shane Schleger ‏@ShaneSchleger Jun 18
    4) I think hospitality and convenience and common sense have suffered this year @wsopSUITd and as a rec player I didn't have much fun

    Ty Stewart ‏@wsopSUITd Jun 18
    @ShaneSchleger - been underwater a bit with 3 huge events first 3 weeks sure. Fair. First week was most rough.

    Matt Glantz @MattGlantz
    The WSOP is losing its luster...first summer I have ever had the thought that I might not come back.

    Ty Stewart ‏@wsopSUITd Jun 18
    @ShaneSchleger just re-watched your poker stars online pro video piece.Seems you can be most eloquent when you're not being effed in the a€$

    Are you trying to turn an innocent joke into something controversial?

    Come on Druff, you're better than that.

    I met Shane in the elevator. He introduced himself to me and was very excited about the encounter.

    Yeah, I have to say I really don't get what the hubub is about. And the title of this thread is very misleading.

    Enough of your clickbait antics Druff!

    Holy shit. I just googled Shane Schleger and his wiki pic with mini bio on the google search states:

    "Shane J. Schleger (born 1977 in New York City, New York) is a former professional poker player from New York, known for his addiction to crack cocaine."

    His personal life section says:

    "Schleger resides in Santa Monica, California with his wife Sheila McCormack. With a history of mental illness and substance abuse,[8] Schleger has admitted an addiction to crack cocaine stating, "I expect to smoke a lot less crack in 2014 than I did in 2013 but I’d be setting myself up for failure if I made abstinence a goal.""

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_Schleger

    I read the 4 thread at the time, but still; whoever wrote that piece has a real axe to grind with him. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to have that removed himself.

    Shane is an interesting guy. I really enjoyed his podcast with Dr. Pauly, Dope Stories.

    I don't believe this was the first time that Shane "Shaniac" Schleger has been fucked in the ass.

    This actually was controversial.

    A lot of players got really angry about this.

    This actually was not controversial.

    A lot of players need to shake the sand out of their vagina.

    What a little bitch this guy. They should just help him with his decision and trespass his ass.
    WSOP execs seem to listen and are willing to make meaningful changes to the games but probably have no control over hotel service.
    Players are not forced to stay at the Rio. Go stay at Aria, Wynn, etc if you want to be coddled.
