My friends and I were right outside the Caesar's poker room in Vegas - during the last heads up championship. There was this kid, no more than 14, who was asking for autographs from every celebrity player he could see.
Scott Fischman shows up, smoking a cigarette, and gives the kid his autograph. Josh Arieh and Gabe Kaplan do the same thing. Doyle gives him an autograph as well, with a nice friendly smile without looking at the kid directly. They were very friendly with the kid.
Then Lee comes out the restroom and the kid asks him for an autograph. He lectures the kid that gambling is bad and that he shouldn't be playing online poker. He signs the autograph then gives the autograph to the kid's older brother (or cousin) or whatever.
Around May 3 early this year me and my friends went to a Star Trek Convention in Jackson, Mississippi. During George Takei's speech, I couldn't believe who was standing on the front row. It was Doug Lee, wearing an Indiana Jones outfit.
LAS VEGAS FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP
Doug will be introducing fractional ownership of Las Vegas properties.
If you are interested in owning a piece of Vegas please
email me at contactme@dougleepoker.com.
What is fractional ownership?
Fractional ownership properties have been around for years. Recently
it has hit the investment real estate market (i.e. vacation homes,
townhouses, condos, etc). For years business men and women have
been using the fractional ownership technique to purchase everything
from private jets to expensive jewelry. Fractional ownership broken
down basically means that you and a group of people (often times
friends and family) pool your resources together to purchase an
otherwise expensive product. This tactic makes investments have
a lower risk and to most of us this is a better aspect in investing.
He's probably making a killing on real estate now! LOL
Has anybody emailed him about his poker school/club?

I will elaborate on this hand since it was fun and it seems that this thread does not want to die.
Rio 100/200 game a few weeks ago. I open J 8 in the CO, Doug Lee defends the BB.
Flop: AA4
Doug checks, I bet, Doug raises, I call. At this point it will take an act of God for me to fold, because this little gambooooler clearly has nothing.
Turn: K
Doug bets, I call.
River: T (I hate that card, but I ain't folding.)
Doug checks. Now I REALLY hate that card, as I figure this idiot just made a pair. I check.
He sits there and does the little tapping of the felt as he holds his cards in an effort to say "you win." I sit there waiting for him to open his hand. A few more awkward seconds pass and he flashes what was clearly a face card at me as he mucks . I want to say it was the J, but cannot be sure. Once the hand is in the muck and the dealer starts pushing me the pot, I figure "what the hell" and show my hand. Don't try that **** with me, you little gamboooooler Doug Lee.
Doug I'm am one of your biggest fans. Congratulations on your endeveours and pay no attention to all these Doug Lee Wannabe peoples here. You are a true God in my book and a legend of poker. May you stand next to Doyle Brunson and look down at the poker world that you now lead, and see the fruits of your labors prosper once more. Everyone should show you the true respect that you so deserve, and bow upon your feet with remourse for their cruel outpourings against you.
