The Feldman incident is something we can look past. However, the dealer abuse by Mike has been going on forever. One may make the argument that this is part of LA Poker and it is what it is. Unfortunately, Mike is a nit with money and fills a seat in these games and that is what carries the day.
However, I think it has gone too far. Frankly to have a regular on the stream behave in this matter is embarrassing. He has had too many chances. This should be the end of the story. The guy is a total dirtbag. Enough is enough.
One last note is Mike pretty much always occupies the nine seat. You can see him basically get physical with the dealer. At the minimum he should never be allowed to occupy the 1 or 9 seat. You are just asking for trouble.
