Two years ago while playing at the Taj in Atlantic City, I was in a very lively $3/6 game with a guy who was drinking and playing like a fish. He was raising every hand especially when it was my blind (he had no respect for me or my play). He was almost broke and he raised my bb, I was sitting there with pocket 9's so I re-raised him and he capped it. A third nine came on rainbow ten high flop and I bet and he raised and we raised till he had it all in (we were heads up so there was no cap to raising). He flipped over AQ off and said "oh you got me" and I said "I know" as I flipped over my nines...well when I said that I knew I had him...he lost it. He started slamming chairs around and started screaming all over "RETARD WOMAN" over and over and over. He was a regular there and they didn't kick him out. He eventually left the room and went outside to steam. It was one of my prouder poker moments...nah, not really but it did crack me up.
I played against him in a tournament last year and he wasn't drinking at the time and he was pretty nice to me. I made the final table and I could hear him talking about how well I played, what a good player I was and on and on. He also didn't recognize me and probably didn't remember any of what had happened the year before and I wasn't about to remind him.

That should be a lesson to people that drinking and poker don't mix. Very good story.
