    Played with at WSOP with John Morgan, a 77-year-old super-rich businessman who has a 23-year-old girlfriend

    Played a WSOP $1500 NL event today (Event #37).

    The most interesting player at the table was John Morgan, who is 77 years old and a real character.



    He's chairman of the Winmark Corporation, and apparently has a shitload of money.

    Most notably, he entered the $1 Million One Drop event in 2012, and got a pro to fold quad 8s with a possible straight flush out there. Morgan has not revealed if he really had the straight flush, and he claims that only 2 people in the world know whether he had it or not.

    From playing with him today, I would say he probably had it. Morgan took the $1500 event seriously (even though the money is meaningless to him), and while he entered a lot of pots, he made a number of careful folds postflop.

    Before I knew who he was, I played a hand with him where I flatted TT to his early position raise, and got two callers behind (one in the blind, one late position). He bet suspiciously small on a 226, two-heart flop, so I raised, and the other two guys folded. Morgan just called. 7 hit the turn, and I decided to check it, trying to keep the pot small and prevent any funny moves which would make me fold. River was 5. He fired a moderate sized bet, I thought about it shortly, decided I probably had him beat, and called. He showed AK, and I took the pot down.

    He remarked that he wasn't able to bluff me, but he noticed that I thought about folding. I told him that I always consider folding against people older than me. He retorted, "What about 77 year old guys with 23-year-old girlfriends? Would you fold to them?"

    I responded, "Probably not, because it means they're willing to throw around money."

    Anyway, as you might have guessed, he was speaking of himself. He kept mentioning the 23-year-old girlfriend, and eventually showed pictures of her. She was a cute Asian girl. He got a massage fairly early on, and seemed to know the massage girl really well, referencing having her phone number, and telling her all kinds of personal stories (some of which I overheard).

    He later told the table that he has a wife with whom he's separated, but "she won't divorce me". When a smart-looking young kid showed up at the table with a lot of chips, Morgan was needling him some, and at one point conceded, "You're probably smarter than me, and there's probably a few others at the table smarter than me, but I have more money than everyone here, and I'd rather be dumb and rich than smart and not rich."

    I don't want to make the guy sound like a jerk, though. He was good-natured and personable, and made the table fun. He did like to show off regarding the young girlfriend and the fact that he was really rich, but he didn't do it in a condescending or obnoxious way.

    He told the massage girl a LOL story about Jean-Robert Bellande that he took JRB to one of the Vegas Golden Knights NHL Finals games, and JRB was upset that they didn't have a special entrance away from the public. "I told him, these are great seats to the Finals, who gives a shit where we enter?"

    He also told the massage girl about playing poker in some big private game with "Russell" (referring to Russell Westbrook), and said that he's a "nice guy" and "fun to play with".

    He said that the one player he doesn't enjoy playing with is Rick Salomon, because apparently Salomon is super-aggro and makes the games play ridiculously big due to all the action. "A pot which is normally $100k is $600k or $700k when Salomon is in the game", he said.

    He said that he's a great-grandfather and takes Viagra for sex with the young girlfriend.

    He currently lives in a certain expensive condo complex associated with a strip hotel, but I won't say which one because I don't need you idiots stalking him.

    He was almost busto in the event at one point, but he ran it back up somewhat, and then the table broke. He did not make Day 2.

    He seemed friendly with a lot of players in the tournament, including a 20-something guy who got move to the table to his direct right (I was on his direct left).

    Anyway, was an interesting and talkative table thanks to his presence, and I enjoyed it, even though I slumped badly in the hours before it broke, unable to win any hands, and my stack dwindled down to 9k. When it broke, I went to the new table and ran it up quickly to 44k. I return with 45k tomorrow.

    Here's a full writeup of my Day 1 otherwise: https://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sh...l=1#post777218

    He lives in minnesota. Hes a reg on the live minnesota poker scene. I never play live out there, but one of the few times that I did I saw him grinding a $200 nighty mtt. Everybody says hes very nice. I'm friends with a young guy who is friends with him, but I never asked about him. Gossiping is for phaggets, I have decided.

    I know you're probably not talking about my post, but most of the stuff I wrote in the OP were things he openly revealed to a table full of 8 strangers (and the dealer).

    The only private conversation stuff I revealed was the JRB hockey game thing and the Russell Westbrook comment, but neither really seemed like much of a secret.

    You should have the same rep power as everyone else, right?

    I can't increase your rep power without increasing everyone else's.

    What error message are you getting when trying to rep? You did manage to rep my post, btw.

    Oh, and you really should read my post. I think you'll enjoy it. It involves an older man banging a much younger woman. Don't pretend you lack interest in that topic.

    1. I read it, nothing else to do on the dreadmill at this hour.
    2. To be fair - I only have daddy issues, not grandaddy issues, but this was a decent LOL.
    3. I’m out rep, I don’t fuck with the error messages. Don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution. Let me spread some love over this cesspool.

    Going Straight to $300/$600/$1200 NLHE

    In the last couple years Morgan got into cash games and he started in the most improbable place.

    “I started at the highest level right here in the Aria,” he said. “Most guys start at $1/$2 or $5/10 and work their way up. I didn’t do that. I got right into $300/$600/$1200.”

    You might think he would be fodder for the high-level sharks but Morgan says he’s been doing alright.

    “When you make mistakes it’s very expensive though,” he laughed.

    For the next few weeks Morgan is going to take a break from the cash games, however, and focus on the World Series of Poker.
    Yeah, I'm sure the pro poker players in Ivey's Room consider him their equal.

    Here's a creepy picture of him getting a massage.

    Driving home after busting a tournament usually always includes me telling myself how much I hate playing live and the characters I’m forced to sit with.

    I played at a WSOP table recently that had a flowing amiable conversation between almost every participant. The game was competitive but minus the animosity that has become so prevalent. All I could think while driving home was how enjoyable the spent time was despite busting and the lost funds. I can honestly say that some of the most enjoyable poker I’ve played in the last few years is during senior tournaments. Possibly because few players, if any, are depending on the outcome to pay their bills.

    Good read and thanks for sharing.

    Morgan also owns a percentage of Canterbury Park/ Card room.

    I wonder how spending time with Morgan ties in to Druff's theory that Minnesota people are a bunch of weirdos. (I dont agree since I grew up there).

    Peace,

Manziel may only be 6 feet tall, but he has size 15 feet. And he has HUGE hands. I know some NFL scouts so I know what I am talking about.
