McCauly the "Home Alone" dude.

The Hendon Mob & Jay Lovinger (great photos from that one, it was worth the price of admission)

Ed Miller & Mason Malmoth - Not only is Ed an amazing player, he is the luckiest guy on the river. Ever.

Countless 2+2'ers on both the east & west coasts. So far the NY 2+2 crew were the best players... with the exception of the Dude. I know he is a brilliant player, but we all played like maniacs during our wild session so I could not compare objectivly.

He (Emmitt Smith) was much shorter then I thought he would be.

I'm not sure what he was listed at, but I heard he was like 5'8", tops. Walter Payton wasn't much bigger. So much for the "big, durable" back theory. But I digress...

Oh, my friend likes to spew stuff like "Don't worry, one day you will be able to say that a world champion took your money in this game" as he takes people's chips. He can be a jerk, but heckuva player. I think I read in Big Deal that Hellmuth used to say similar stuff.

Anyway, enough hijacking. I met a bunch of world-class pros at TStone (Negreanu, Vahedi, Jesus, Lederer) but didn't play with any of them, obviously. I think I may have played with Al Krux's son at one point, not sure. Maybe that counts for something...

Some guy named Henry said he used to be a roadie for Herman's Hermits. He must of told me that 8 times before the evening was over.

I almost forgot.... the skipper for the CEO of Foxwood's boat. I played 1/2 NL with him the day I first met Brad.

Forgot my Men the Master beat when I was playing at a 1/2 HE 1/2 NLHE tournament at Lake Elsinore about 7 years ago. During the limit round he raised in front of me and I 3 bet. I had pocket fours and the flop came 44A. He checked, I bet, he raised, I reraised. Turn check, bet, call. River check, bet, call. He showed AK. We toasted Corona's. It was a thing we had [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Darn I thought Jerome was only partial to my game. He's been playing around I see.

Tobey Maguire and Jack Black. Ben Affleck online if you believe the rumor mill. Lots of quasi-famous poker tournament people.

I played 3/6 at the Commerce with Zach de la Rocha from RATM.

At one point he put a read on me for an Ace I guess because he said,

YOU GOT A BULLET IN YOUR HOLE CARDS!
YOU GOT A BULLET IN YOUR HOLE CARDS!
YOU GOT A BULLET IN YOUR [censored]' HOLE CARDS! UH!

(guitar solo)

Sorry.

Actually he was a surprisingly calm and very cool guy.
