I like my privacy. I guess he likes his privacy too.

i guess his comment is rude, but i also think its rude to be asking for his autograph. most people assume that famous people want attention but most sign autographs because if they told you that they didnt want to it makes them look bad. youre probably bothering chan by pestering him with something so silly so you have to understand where hes coming from. its not like he wants to sign your damn card, hes pretty much obligated to.

exactly. Hes prolly signed 70 autographs that day, and is tired or whatever, and then here comes OP bumbling up with a deck of cards. Who knows what sate chan was in, maybe he just dropped 200BB at the poker table, maybe hes got to take a piss. Maybe hes just annoyed at yet another person whos bugging him. If you wanna use this 10 second exchange to make a snap judgement about who he really is as a person, well, thats pretty dumb. The only person who comes off as an ass in this story is the OP, IMO

to the poker room and ask for his autograph. i have the deck of cards and a pen out in my hand i just dont have the cards out of the box. he tells me "hurry up-", not "hurry up!!", just "hurry up-". i want to throw the deck of cards in his face but give him the pen and hold out a card for him to sign. i later throw away the card in my hotel room because i think he is a piece of chit.

questions?

Unless you are under 16 years old, asking for autographs is pretty borderline. If you were asking for it for a kid, that would be fine.

But I assume you are over 21. So why would you want to look at another grown mans signature?

After seeing the OP get blasted for asking for an autograph, I guess I won't be telling anyone about my Barry Manilow autograph.

I don't understand the whole autograph thing, but if you are going to ask someone for an autograph at least make it easy and quick for them. If you are not prepared with a pen and something to write on, don't ask.

I've had a totally different experience approaching Johnny @ bellagio in years past... two times he's signed for me even after getting beat out of like 100k. the hi limit section was full and he was playing HU NL something at the table just by the stairs while I was playing 8/16 O8 with our chairs back to back... this guy driving thru to CA in a suit must have had the deck hit him in the face.
