Poker player Ron Dalgo from Maine is a scam artist

[sinmiedo]

Haha trip! had the flu right after the bash and literally could not keep anything solid down for almost 3 weeks (25lbs). During the winter months I typically put a few lbs on because I'm obviously not as active, this past winter I must have really been living good! Eating healthier and the 10000-15000 steps per day at work have taken off the rest.....still working on it though....

I need no flu but the side effect looks like positive. I remember when I was a heavy smoker after a flu felt like quitting the habit, but coming back to it due to stress, but after I quit for good I gained 60Pds, that I still carry ( maybe another 10 on top)
Congrats and keep them off and if you do not smoke even better.

you praiesed them to mislead others into depositing funds in your hope that 18th hole would pay your sorry defrauding out of those funds, which they did after the people you so pathetically mislead made deposits with that book.

18th eventually stopped paying me as well, so I didn't receive any deposited funds from players that you ignorantly claim.

the dates on your posts, when put into the timeline, show you shilled for the site after you were having problems getting your money sent to you.....

My timeline is accurate, praised them while getting paid & bashed them when stiffed. Makes no sense to praise a book after they steal from you. When something doesn't make sense, it's obviously not true. But feel free to try & prove otherwise chump.

If you or anyone else actually believed I stole players funds, why didn't you or anyone else confront me at 2015 Bash & do something about it? Why would I even make myself available at Bash, if I stole funds from players & had something to hide? Sounds suicidal to me & anyone else with half a brain.

Now I know why you didn't do anything about it. You're just a pussy who didn't bet at 18th, nor any online book for that matter. But why didn't other players who had actual funds stolen from 18th confront me at Bash & do something about it? My guess is they're simply smarter than you: They knew my name wasn't Leo, knew I had nothing to do with it, knew I was a victim as well.

This thread turned into something waves related? Shocking.

Philly guy cmon pal please don't be one of those guys who brings up "steps" they've taken in a day. Save that shit for my step-mother.

Sorry to hear you were sick but glad it at least resulted in some momentum (loss) for you. Now take it and run! And then save some of those ladies for the rest of us.

Hah! Not the weight loss plan most would recommend, but as tat said, make lemonade out of it and get in better shape if ya can. He's also right about not putting much faith in steps taken...there's a wide range of step to calorie associations, and over-generalization of these and other concepts leads to surprisingly large imbalances and weight gains/smaller losses. For example, most current fitness trackers are routinely tested at 20%+ inaccurate; for a 2,000 calorie diet, that can be up to a pound a week when you think you're on pace!

Best bet is the one that involves a lot of work: shifting diet to make sure you're satiated with fewer calories and working more exercise into the routine. If that fails, come out and see me this summer...could always use an extra hand building stuff out here, and I guarantee you won't be able to eat enough to match what you burn!

What can I say? He's the perfect intersection of "need to warn community about stiffs" and "just plain fun to make fun of without feeling too bad about it". 'Sides, it's not like we talk about actual poker round here often

Translated from bobbo-ese for those unfamiliar:

"I tried participating in a contest with a guy who knows I'm a stiff and has repeatedly stated he would give stiffs' points to their lenders, and then he did exactly that...he must be stiffing me because I'm a stiff, so we can ignore the fact that I'm a stiff!"

"I won a small wager with no head start and a larger one with a 3k+ head start, so if I just talk about that enough, maybe nobody will notice that I lost the largest wager in history (under my own ill-advised terms) AND I'm stiffing on it"



Appreciate you linking that thread though, always funny to read your previous rants. I especially like the parts where you channel wulfy and threaten violence, despite most of us knowing you to be incapable of it for numerous reasons. Your futile attempts at humor usually get old kinda quickly, but the idea that anyone would be intimidated by you is pretty hilarious...you should use that one more, it's got some serious staying power!

[chico2663]

It's ok Opti, will still give you a big hug when I see you (non homo)

you root for the eagles so that is debatable. lol

Miss Wulfy & his many references to your boyfriend Alex.

How's Alex doing by the way?

[bobbywaves]

For shits & giggles, go to Lincoln Financial & call the fans homo's.

Let's see what happens to you, hope you have life insurance.

[Auto Donk]

waves is more full of shit than the sorry f'n rigged poker room at SBR .....

and that's saying a helluva lot......

f'n aa cracked by tens yesterday, some other bullshit bad beat the day before, and of course today, the golden boy calls my ace big with tens in a race, and no doubt how that bullshit turned out....

fuk, i can't win an 80-20 favorite with aa vs. tens, how the penetrate could I ever win a race against Dorado Chico and his tens.....

and of course he sails to another win......

fu sbr

They go all out when they TALK shyt. So, if you don,t want to be TALKED to death stay clear of these two brutal individuals. People from these ghetto towns like Trenton think they are the tough. The town doesn't make ya tough TARD

Still no money from this guy

[playersonly69]

He looks kind of like KingRevolver. I am flying into Vegas on March 27th to play in the event on the 28th and a few other events.


If I do well then I will play the main event. I dont have the disposable income that I had over the past 3 years to spend the $10k on the main event. I have 2 kids in college now and yes they did get scholarships, but that didnt pay for apartments. I have made the money in the main event in 2 out of the last 3 years. It really is one of the easier tournaments to play to make the money because of so many players that never have even played in an event with that type of structure.

I will give it another shot if I can just win a decent amount of money in one of these other 3 tournaments

1. why not just "back" players on sites instead of like this

2. you stopped working for sbr?

[playersonly69]

Well he backed this guy because he personally knew him. There actually are no guarantees when backing people on the poker sites either.


I usually pay my own way, but when I have been backed usually the backer is at the event and just goes with you to buy in if it is over $5k. And there is a pretty ironclad contract that is signed. At the WSOP, the player who makes the money can tell the cage and the workers when filling out all forms to only pay them 45-50%. They then save the other 50-55% for the backer

Wow KingRevolver - Is he still around? I remember him being real active years ago and making lots of posts. Back in the mofome era.

Hope you make it into the main event, po!

I do a mix of private backing and buying stakes on sites. This was a private one. He did not enter the events with my fronted money and also never returned it. All the talk lately on Twitter of Nick Palma got my mind on this thread again.

Yeah have not worked for SBR in a few years. Enjoyed my time on the staff though and still friends with everyone.

i didnt really talk to you as a mod which means i thought you were a great one

[ArunSh]

I really have to ask: why do people stake others in general? Granted I've talked to a very small % of the community who's been involved with such things, but most of what I hear, it ends up badly (things like this) or at best roughly break even. Seems like very few come out ahead in this staking game. And so many wind up having to chase down people who effectively scammed them.

Just general trend with staking seems to carry a very bad risk/reward scenario. That being so, just seems easier to avoid it. I know several who used to do it then decided not to (for various reasons), and they all seem happier just simply telling people "no I don't do that".

Good question, Arun! I will agree it is a risky world to be a part of. Have had quite a few setbacks and am certainly down overall. But I will say when you finally get those few bright spots they feel super.

Deep down you just have to truly like the players you are backing and enjoy all of the action from it. Anyone looking to solely doing this to make profits will not have fun and would need a large bankroll for withstanding the swings.

I have only had two profitable players out of many that I've backed. One of them truly became special and it was like going on a world tour of success. But even with them I had lost a lot at the beginning.

In Ron Dalgo's case, I took a risk on him as being more of an up and coming player that was less established. Unfortunately, he thought vanishing with my money meant more to his finances than the potential of big five and six figure cashes. I even have a judgment against him for what he owes and he has yet to live up to any small payments ordered by the court.

Most people would probably be a lot happier not being involved with staking poker players. You need to take a lot of bad with the good, and in this case I got hit with a big lying sack of shit.

I feel bad for Nicky P in a way. Everything went right for a while for that kid with winning the BBJ and won a few good sized tournaments but nowadays he seems like he forgot how to play and spent all his and everyone elses money on pit games. Obviously I'm not standing up for a scammer but he was promising several years back.

Fair enough. But to me, it's similar to loaning to people (be it $ or whatever) - best case scenario you get it back but too often things go bad and then you are in a shitty situation. I've seen it happen on SBR even - over something which has very little value comparatively, betpoints. People who seem very trustworthy, well you loan to them and they lose it all doing whatever (casino, bet, who knows), and then as honorable as their intentions might have been, it's far easier for them to disappear from the site and either create a ghost account or just not come back at all. Once again very bad risk/reward ratio, just like people who try to disappear/avoid you irl when faced with same thing.

Especially when you say you have to like the people you stake - too many times when you stake/loan someone you like, a friend, the friendship winds up ruined over it. Money ruins friendships all too often. And once people know you are generous they are unfortunately more apt to try to take advantage of your generosity if it suits them. So again, I personally like the policy of just saying "no I don't loan or stake anyone - personal rule" By doing it universally, they have no basis to be offended, and you don't get stuck in these awkward situations...

Just my opinion though! Having been involved/seen so many of these situations over the years though, certainly seems like a much safer policy than most others for sure!
