I'm thinking $5 mil minimum. No matter what, they ain't going below the Greg Raymer payday. And hey, give me a buzz when you get here. We can talk bidness.

This must be your first rodeo, because if it's not, I'm surprised that you haven't played with some of these guys, cash or tourneys. Three years ago, it was my first WSOP, and I was at the featured table with Phil Gordon, Blair Rodman and a host of Asian pros. I regretted it afterward that I didn't hand my camera to my buddy who was watching me play to nab a photo. But I realized that since then, it seems like every table I was at, there was at least 3 or more familiar faces. I wasn't starstruck but I admit that by putting them on a level that I was not, it intimidated me and affected the way I played my hands. Hope that helps man, I hope you get your photo, but if you don't, don't worry, if you play well enough, someday someone may be starstruck when they see you. I'm playing in the World Series of Poker on Sunday, first place is a million bucks, does it have my name on it? I don't know, but I'm going to find out. Hey Dan, I may wear one of your damn patches. How much you pay'in, at least lunch right? Jack, I hate to say this, but Buck is right, you are a little pathetic bro.

Since I make it a policy to never get into the mud with pigs, and given that you obviously "live" in your Mom's basement and have all the time that your non-life affords you to sit around typing your amazing ignorant rants, this will be the last 2min of my life I waste on you. You have NO idea who I am (clue: definately non-fish, most definately non star-struck), but I totally know who YOU are: a jobless high-school drop-out leach on society who's jealous of anyone else's success or even happiness, two things you will NEVER have. Your dream is to collect enough aluminum cans to turn in so you can afford a stack of lottery tickets for your Big Score. But that would involve leaving the basement, so that's unlikely. Your only hope of even minor celebrity will be the day your dumbass falls into a wood-chipper. "Local dumbass leaves Mom's basement long enough to fall into wood-chipper." I pity your mom. Buh-bye now. To the non a-holes here, if anyone finds out who was filming that event, please let me know. Thanks. Hmmm…clueless, rude *and* not funny.

"oh nice, did you win?" "No, man, but look who I was up against! Daniel f*cking Negreanu and Phil superman Ivey!!" "but you busted out, right?" "yeah, but I almost won a hand against Ivey, if I would have hit that Jack of spades, it's over for him and I would have been chip leader, it was soooo close man" "better luck next time man. nice photo though" it's sad that you will live your life wishing that you have that photo of you and the pros, verses going out there and making a name for yourself. So here’s how it will go down

“Hey, check this out, this is me playing in a tournament with all these pros!!!”
“oh nice, did you win?”
“No, man, but look who I was up against! Daniel f*cking Negreanu and Phil superman Ivey!!”
“but you busted out, right?”
“yeah, but I almost won a hand against Ivey, if I would have hit that Jack of spades, it’s over for him and I would have been chip leader, it was soooo close man”
“better luck next time man. nice photo though”

it’s sad that you will live your life wishing that you have that photo of you and the pros, verses going out there and making a name for yourself.

They were probably complaining about not having more fish like you. Just trying to bring you back to earth a bit, man, it's common that you are surrounded by people you recognized on TV, esp during WSOP, that's where ALL of them are. My biggest advice is to play to win, not be distracted by people who have some bracelets under their belts.

Black guy named Freddy is all I know. Nice guy.(As was "Opie" on my left)He lasted longer than me though, cuz Matasow knocked me and Ivey out on the same hand shortly after the (insane) rebuy period ended.

There were a zillion people taking pics though, and someone was filming the whole thing, so hopefully something will turn up. REALLY love a picture (to frame/hang in my office) that shows me playing cards with Pham, Negraneau, Ivey, Matasow/etc...cuz I suspect there are those who will not believe my wild poker tale.

I've been looking, well not today, and I haven't really found much. I read somewhere that the turn out wasn't as good as expected, but other sites say it was good. Anyone know who won the poker tournament going on there? And if anyone finds pics please post the link, I will if I do. Thanks! -- Sue Dan –
