He contacted me when he got to Vegas and wanted to meet up with Druff, myself and others that were in town.
Maybe the 2nd or 3rd day he was in Vegas, Druff, China, John Stamos, myself and my streetwalker girlfriend (who is a gymnastics coach) all met at the Rio. The plan was to go eat.
Rawwolf was very odd from the start. He flashed a lot of money. Told me that he hadn't eaten in the 2-3 days since he had been in Vegas and also told me that he had stage 3 cancer and only had a few years at best to live. That statement was the reason I have ignored requests to post about my encounter with him.
He did not look well. He ended up not going to eat with the rest of us as he stated he felt ill. He gave me $400 for Druff for a prop bet (which Druff received). He also asked me to do him a big favor. He said he couldnt eat any of the food at the rio due to his illness. He asked me to go to Walmart and Smiths (a local grocery store) to get him somethings so he would be more comfortable.
In all honesty, the guy didnt look well. The cancer comment through me for a loop because I found it odd someone I only knew from the forums and radio would tell me something that personal within the first 5 minutes of us meeting.
He gave my gf a list of things he wanted. I had posted this before. He handed me $400 and told me get him all these things. I agreed and told him we would bring it back with the change. He told me just keep it as a favor for doing this for him. I told him I didn't want his money and was doing it so he would be comfortable and have what he claimed he needed. He relentlessly told me that he insisted I keep whatever change was left. I ended up spending around $240 (the 13 cans of smokeless tobacco were close to $100 alone) between Walmart and Smiths. Drove back to the Rio, tipped the bell hop $20 to bring all this stuff up to his room per his request. I spent over 2 hours of my time between driving from the rio to both stores, the shopping, and driving back and getting everything delivered to his room.
He called me the next day to thank me. He also asked me to get him pain pills claiming he needed them to be able to play in his tournaments. I told him I am not involved in that and most likely I could not help him. I told him the best I could do is that if any poker players I knew and saw at the rio who dealt in this trade approached me, I would contact him.
He also asked me to find someone to book at 100-1 for 5k him winning the 3k PLO/8 event. I told him I would ask/text/twitter but the likelihood of me finding someone trusthworthy who had the means to absorb a possible $500,000 hit were unlikely. I even called Druff about this and he said although it was very plus ev, he had no interest.
He kept calling me asking if I would have dinner with him and also wanted to come over to my house to do his laundry. LOL I told him if I had time maybe we could eat a meal before he left but wasn't letting a stranger in my home to do (LOL again) laundry. I told him the Rio could do it for a fee and he kept saying I rather give you money than the Rio to have my laundry done. This was very odd, especially for someone who flashed a ton of money within minutes of meeting him.
The day before his event he left me a ton of insane voicemails (which I will play on radio) saying that he had been here almost two weeks and I had only seen him once, I hadn't been a good friend to him, and wasn't there for him and that he claimed he had sat in his room for almost two weeks alone. He also through in my face the fact that he had given me $400 to get his bullshit for him. I realized where this was going at this point. I texted him and told him I was going to the Rio to drop of the fucking bullshit $140 in change he told me to keep and be done with him forever. He left me another 5-7 messages right after telling me not to come to the rio, telling me I was a phony, a bad friend, and other insane shit. Again, I saved every message he left and will happily play it on radio.
Thats it. Nothing else to this story. Every year I try to meet old friends from these forums when they come to Vegas and new ones. Most of them turn out very cool down to earth people, some (such as China) become very close real life friends and every so often you get a situation like this.
I'm truly sorry if rawwolfs medical condition is what he claims it to be. I'm sorry if he was under some misguided impression that I was going to be able to spend more time with him during his trip, but after reading his post calling me out as a thief and someone who stole from the community (not even a clue what he could even faintly be referring to) I hope he keeps his white trash ass in Alabama and never again have the misfortune of meeting him.
