RAMASHIVA ON DOUG DALTON
William Coleman
the forged news stories and forged police reports about an alleged tree
masturbation incident involving me in a tree outside Donna Harris's house. Or
possibly it was statements made by Mr. Dalton after this story was published
that I had stalked Donna Harris and/or other female employees of the Mirage
Poker Room. At any rate, when people began making posts to RGP that they had
talked to Doug, and Doug had indeed made these stalking allegations against me,
I called the Bellagio Poker Room and asked to speak to Doug. I spoke to one of
Doug's assistants, I believe her name was Karen. I told her emphatically that I
had never ever stalked Donna Harris, or any other female employee of the Mirage
Poker Room. I also told Mr. Dalton's assistant that any such statements made by
Mr. Dalton were entirely with out merit or foundation, and that these were just
more of his lies to justify permanently barring me in the first place. I then
told Mr. Dalton's assistant in the strongest terms that Mr. Dalton should cease
and desist from all stalking allegations against me. I thought this would be
the end of it, but apparently not. I have recently heard from a reliable source
that Mr. Dalton is still making these baseless stalking allegations. As I have
told you many times, Doug Dalton is a liar of the worst kind. Not only does he
tell lies to justify his unjustifiable accusations against me, he also pressures
his perjurious subordinates to back up his lies with lies of their own. In my
original post, I was replying to another poster who had asked me what Doug had
done to me to make me have such a negative opinion of him.
________________________________________________________
Why don't you ask Doug Dalton that question first? Why don't you ask him
for a detailed account of his experiences with me and his decision to bar me
from the Mirage Poker Room eight years ago? I seriously doubt that Doug
will be willing to discuss this matter with you or anyone else, because he
and I both know that he told one lie after another to Mirage Security and
Bobby Baldwin, in order to create sufficient justification for barring me.
He also pressured or coerced several of his employees into telling lies
about me in order to prove his case against me. Unfortunately for Mr.
Dalton, some of these employees no longer work for him, and therefore have
no problem with exposing him as a vicious liar and manipulator of truth.
The fact of the matter is, I could have been readmitted to the Mirage Poker
Room immediately. I did nothing to warrant permanent barring, and Doug
knows this. I was told that I had to talk to Doug before I could play
again. My reaction -- WTF does Doug think he is??? I am the customer here.
He is supposed to do every thing possible to keep me happy. Instead, he
thinks it is his job to tell me what I can and cannot talk about; and with
whom I may and may not converse. This attitude was part of the general
attitude of Mirage Poker Room management -- We have more business than we
can handle, so if you don't like the way we run the poker room, please go
play somewhere else. Many local poker players have commented to me about
this arrogant attitude of the management of the Mirage Poker Room. Many,
many ex-employees of the Mirage Poker Room have told me that that they
despise Doug Dalton, and that he is an incompetent idiot
I admit that I was acting pretty wild and crazy in the days leading up to my
barring. In case you haven't already guessed it, Ramashiva is a wild and
crazy guy. But I was never admonished by any floorman or shift boss that my
behavior was out of line. Since I knew I was getting pretty outrageous, for
several mornings in a row I asked Doug if he had received any complaints
about me or had any reports from his shift bosses about my behavior being
out of line. The answer was always no. Then suddenly, one evening, I was
informed by the swing shift boss that I was no longer allowed to talk to any
female employees. Naturally, I ignored that ridiculous injunction. I was
forthwith informed that I could not play again until I talked to Doug.
I still have not talked to Doug, and I never will. I have nothing but
contempt for the man. I know for a fact that he is willing to tell whatever
lies he needs to tell in order to accomplish his objective. I know for a
fact that he is willing to pressure his employees to lie in order to support
his lies. Do I need to say anything else?? I know I don't, but I will
anyway.
Doug's whole approach to running a poker room is seriously flawed, in my
opinion. Basically, he wants to run a poker room like a Sunday School. He
wants to micromanage everyone's behavior and speech. If some clueless clown
from out of town is offended by something he hears in a poker game, he
thinks he has the right to put a stop to the offensive behavior. He expects
real poker players to act completely differently than they would if not
forced to comply with his censorious regime.
Many poker players, Ramashiva included, are arrogant, obnoxious,
foul-mouthed individuals. Real poker players accept this behavior as very
common, even normal, among poker players. If a group of real poker players
is having a real poker game with a lot of profanity and outrageousness, then
let them play the way they want to play. If some sanctimonious Sunday
School teacher joins the game and is offended by the language -- the proper
management response is to inform the Sunday School teacher that this is a
poker game, not Sunday School, and to suggest slot machines or keno as an
alternative. Instead, Doug thinks the proper management response is to tell
the foul-mouthed poker players to either shut up or leave.
Things may have changed since I was barred, but the way comps were handled
is another clear indication of Doug's managerial incompetence. First of
all, the Mirage Poker Room was very stingy about handing out comps. You
were only supposed to get one comp per week, and you had to stand in a long
line at a specific time to get one. That is, unless you slipped a floorman
a couple of bucks. Then, you could get all the comps you wanted. High
limit players and friends of management also got unlimited comps.
High limit players in general got better treatment than the low-limit
players. Since the card room makes as much or more money off a low limit
table compared to a high limit table, such discriminatory treatment is
outrageous and indefensible. Just one small example, high limit players can
order freshly squeezed carrot juice whenever they want. Low limit players
are told to go suck an egg if they ask for freshly squeezed carrot juice.
WTF is up with that? This is all part of the big superiority complex that
high limit players have. They think they are so much better than ordinary
mortals playing with $1 chips. Well, at that time, Bill Gates frequently
came to the Mirage to play poker when he was in town. His game of choice?
$3/$6 holdem. Needless to say, Bill Gates could have bought and sold all
the big time big money poker players in Las Vegas without changing the third
significant digit of his net worth. High limit players need to get over
this idea that playing for higher stakes means anything but how much each
chip is worth.
Another thing that irritated hell out of me was that Doug employs many
incompetent dealers and supervisors. I knew the Mirage poker rules better
than 99% of the dealers and 100% of the floormen and shift bosses. I never
had a problem with the competent dealers. They could deal to me for weeks
and never make a mistake. When a tricky situation came up, these competent
poker dealers would automatically ask me for the correct interpretation of
the rules for that situation. Unfortunately, Doug employed many totally
incompetent dealers, which leads me to believe that he doesn't know enough
about poker to know an incompetent dealer when he sees one. Some of these
lumps could not sit in the box for 20 minutes without making four or five
serious errors. Naturally I corrected these errors, as every player has a
right to do. Rather than accepting correction, and trying to improve, these
incompetent dealers went whining to management that I was embarrassing and
humiliating them by correcting them in front of other players. If Doug and
his totally incompetent assistant, Kathleen Toliver, had trained these
incompetent dealers properly, they would have had no need to be corrected,
by me or anyone else.
Anyway, I was forbidden to correct any dealer. If I objected to what the
dealer was doing, I was told to stop the action and call a floorman. WTF!!!
The game has to come to a complete halt to correct an obvious dealing error,
just to avoid hurting the dealer's feelings??? This is a good example of
Doug trying to run a poker room like a Sunday School class. One night, I
called for a floorman after the dealer made a serious dealing error.
Kathleen showed up. I was not even allowed to tell her what the problem
was. The dealer told her version of what happened, then Kathleen made her
ruling. Her ruling was 100% incorrect according to Mirage Poker Room rules.
When I tried to point this out to her, she very bluntly told me to shut up,
that the floorman's decision was final, and that was the end of it. And
this woman was in charge of training new dealers. No wonder there were so
many incompetent dealers at the Mirage.
Finally, Doug Dalton, Bobby Baldwin, and Steve Wynn were then, and probably
still are errand boys for the Mafia. Of course, they have great pretensions
of being good, law-abiding citizens. ROTFLMAO. When Doug barred me, I
spoke to several law firms in Las Vegas about suing the Mirage. I got the
same answer -- No law firm in Las Vegas would even consider suing the
Mirage, no matter how good the grounds for a lawsuit might be. When I asked
why that was, I was invariably told that the answer should be obvious.
It was an open secret at the time that collusion was rampant in the higher
limit games, and that management did absolutely nothing to stop it. In
fact, Mirage management provided a sanctuary for all the big money cheaters
in Las Vegas. This is Doug's concept of offering the high-rolling Las Vegas
tourist a fair gamble --
1. Assemble every crossroader and card cheat in Las Vegas.
2. Seat all these cheaters in the high limit games.
3. Provide absolutely no management supervision to make sure the cheaters
are not cheating the tourists.
4. Seat the unsuspecting tourist in the middle of this den of thieves, and
tell him good luck.
My friends, this is the situation that is giving poker a bad name, not Russ
Georgiev.
To summarize, Doug Dalton is a shameless liar. The way the poker room is
run is ample evidence for his incompetence. He provides sanctuary to card
cheats who fleece unsuspecting tourists.
Bobby Baldwin also was aware of all these facts at the time I was barred.
After a long conversation with me, Bobby told me that Doug Dalton was his
choice to run the poker room, and that if I wanted to play there, I would
have to get along with Doug Dalton.
These Mafia errand boys are so arrogant. If Doug Dalton and Bobby Baldwin
want to continue running their scams, it is they who will have to get along
with Ramashiva. Please reference previous posts concerning ability of High
Priest of Virgin Mary to call down fire and brimstone from Heaven and
incinerate any one who irritates him.
