[edit] Urinating on a Dealer
I have heard the rumor that Pearson once urinated on a dealer, but until someone can provide substantial proof, that statement does not belong in this article. I have reverted the edit. If someone wants to write a brief synopsis of his alleged poker table manners then please do so. SmartGuy 06:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Poker authority Mike Caro confirmed the story in a 1997 post to rec.gambling.poker which is archived here, see post 7 and Caro's reply in post 8:
Mike Caro is enough of an authority that I can't see how his confirmation doesn't count as substantial proof.
I've also heard the story many times that he once put out a lit cigar on a dealer but I haven't seen any confirmation of that which would count as substantial proof.

I agreed with Mr Siffel that Mike Caro's confirmation counts as "substantial proof," but I wasn't sure if a citation to that rec.gambling.poker post was necessary or not. If someone thinks it's necessary to include a link to the rec.gambling.poker post, feel free to add it.
