This just broke out on Twitter within the last five mins as Joe McKeehan WSOP ME 2015 Winner is accusing Steinberg of cheating at Bellagio and somehow Mike Dentale is threatening to drown McKeehan in the fountain at Bellagio. Anybody know where the hell this all started?? Not sure if this started with angle shooting but it's gotten ugly quick.
He's accusing Dentale, not Steinberg. The whole thing started with friendly messages between Steinberg and McKeehen.
It's hard to tell from the tweets orginally since McKeehan tagged both of them in the tweets but I can see where that might be possible going back to Dentales comments about McKeehans wardrobe habits.Originally Posted by SrslySirius
Mike Dentale looks like one of those aggressive meatheads who tries to intimidate people at the tables.
The Twitter exchanges seem to confirm that.
He thinks he's a bad ass and has been kicked out of several casinos on the east coast. I believe Parx is one of them.Mike Dentale looks like one of those aggressive meatheads who tries to intimidate people at the tables.

Not a guy you really want to joke around with unless you know him well.
I've ran into my share of live players with the hard ass attitude with giant egos and I just remain as cordial as possible with these type of people. If you have a game with two of these people in it if they play together long enough the chances of some sort of screaming / fight type of situation to happen at a poker table is very strong.

lol at Dentale calling out McKeehen's wardrobe. dudes playing on a TV table at WSOP in a Muscle shirt. His wardrobe tweet was actually pretty funny though. He didn't get the action correct on the Iranian dudes betting action he called the floor on, but he's basically narrowing his range by limp calling with 22 UTG (a laughable -EV play), and complaining to floor trying to get the raise thrown out.
it was funny how JCarver explained the forward motion rule to Dentale.
I used to deal/run or play in $60 - $200 buyin tourneys in bars near New Orleans. You'd see the same players at these so most of the players knew each other. Many fit Dentale's attitude, which made it hard to retain some players, who simply felt intimidated by these guys. The conversations got pretty wild because people were usually drunk, and all knew each other.
one night two guys, (both electricians), one of whom owned an electrician company were making gay jokes to this Dentale look alike player, who happened to work for his company. He wasn't a jerk like Dentale, but not a guy you want to fuck with (he was bigger, and tougher than dentale). A guy nobody really liked because he was always starting shit, had to just shut the fuck up or apologize quickly, or he was definitely going to get his ass kicked. He thought it would be ok to join in on the jokes the other to were making.
Never felt in danger myself in these games, and played because it was profitable. No rake, and if you dealt, you got a discount, and if you ran the tourney, the winners tipped you. So it was basically a freeroll. Unless you just like to fight, just ignore these guys like Dentale, or make friendly conversation and your fine. They always find plenty of idiots at the table to pick fights with.
Beer and Poker's advice on playing with these types seems correct.
Only a super special kind of tool wears a sleavless shirt to play poker. Hopefully he mouths off to a guy like red beard and gets his teeth knocked in.Mike Dentale looks like one of those aggressive meatheads who tries to intimidate people at the tables.

For anyone who doesn't know about redbeard... this is red beard and he's a boss
