Is Paul Magriel's fame a joke?

I think thats all just gamesmanship, but I could be wrong, and he might have a muscular disorder.

So I guess you're Daniel Rentzer? And Stern sucks.

I have no idea what fault you could find with my post. Particularly since another poster went on to post very similiar points.

I was just joking around... No fault at all...

When I first moved to Vegas a couple years back I was surprised to see Paul in the Horseshoe's 2:00PM $110 buy-in tourney. This was right after his WPT appearance. I did not know much about the tournament poker scene in Vegas at the time but was still kind of surprised to see him play at what is pretty much a tournament for tourists and low limit locals.

I was even more surprised last night when I saw him as Isabelle Mercier's so-called coach. I can't imagine with the access she has to so many professionals that she would have him as a coach. But, maybe he is better at explaining theory than in applying it to his own game.
