Both of those guys have shady **** in their background. Freddy Deeb's name was mentioned in the UB Superuser scandal.

I was in a tournament with Tony G one time and actually was busted out by him AA vs my KK. I asked him for a photo and he started going off on me most likely to be funny but whatever. He told me to get on my bike. I think he then could tell I was bummed considering it was a buy in way above my usual that I satellited in. He pulled me aside to apologize and actually rebought me into the same tourny for a 5050 split of any winnings. Pretty good guy if you ask me.

Would be fun to go check out a live tournament if there were any that were close by - the former mayor of my city wanted to build a casino by the lakeshore on a prime piece of government real estate that had just became available, but unfortunately the project didn't have much support from the rest of city council?

Someone at PSO who lives in Scotland goes to rail the UKIPT every year, and said it's kind of a fun change of pace from Twitch, etc

I ask because im planning to play a tournament in Europe next year but one of the main reasons why id like to go is to take pictures with pros. I wouldnt want to Timex to tell me to **** off if I ask for a picture so id rather know now before I waste my time and money. So if any of you guys have met big name pros at events let me know how it went. Thanks.
Just go to the WPT Shooting Star in San Jose. All the Shooting Star bounties agree to take pics, sign autographs, etc and do so before the start and during breaks.

I played a cash game with Chris Moneymaker. He was a super nice guy. I was actually surprised by how well he came across.

I played a cash game with Greg Mueller and he was super friendly and very talkative. We chatted quite a bit. He would ask me why I made certain decisions at the poker table. He seemed like he genuinely liked learning more things about the game..also he probably wanted to understand how I think since i was an opponent.

I played cash with Chau Giang a couple times and he never said anything. It was late in the evening and he seemed to be hopping from game to game.

I watched Rob Salaburu play a cash game with a bunch of drunks that were making complete asses out of themselves and were being quite annoying to Rob and he was very quiet and reserved and didn't make a fuss about anything as he took the entire table's money.

I happened to sit next to Huck Seed at a bar in a Mexican Restaurant and he was really cool..laid back and chill. We talked a lot about poker.

I've played with TJ Cloutier in cash and tournaments. I've never had an issue with him. He took it in stride when I knocked him out of the Milly Maker AJ > AK.

I struck up a brief conversation with Ike Haxton at ARIA once. He seemed quite friendly.

Phil Hellmuth is a poker GOD and I didn't have the balls to go up to him but he looked super friendly from afar.

I played very briefly with Maria Ho and I think I rubbed her the wrong way because I said something cocky/annoying regarding a hand she played.

I sat next to Maya Geller (Patrik Antonius's wife) all day during a poker tournament and she was very nice. We were like BFFs that day.

I added Allen Kessler to a group dialogue on facebook once and he left the group without my permission and then tried to add me as a friend but I was having none of that. His buddy Mikey Borovetz seems like a great guy though.

Mike Dentale refused my twoplustwo invitation to take me out to a steak dinner.


I never asked to take photos with any of these players, although I would love to take photos with Borovetz and Dentale but have unfortunately never met either in person.

RE: Tony Gregg

sincerely one of the friendliest and most sincere first interactions of anyone I've ever met.

Rep Porter; Overheard him not quietly badmouthing Bonomo at Bonomo's final table so I turn look at him ask if he is actually talking about Bonomo. I'm a professional, and dont get excited or intimidated by poker players but Rep, didn't know me from an random. He was reminding me about everything that wrong with the majority of 'successful' poker players with regard to relating to other poker players. Ungrateful, for his ability and success he finds solace in ****ting on others. Instead of understanding he is a part of a community that provides for his livelyhood and protecting it by building our brand as professionals together He immediately tried shaming and embarrassing me for asking if he was badmouthing bonomo. In the most disrespectful manner possible. If I was an amateur I wouldn't want to buyin to any game with this guy, ever. In fact I might not want to be seen around a pker room for fear of being embarrased(If I was someone else) He was potentially trying to show off for some random woman he was with. I was taken aback by his reaction but didn't take it personal, turned around went back to spectating. Rep then continued to badmouth Bonomo loudly to this woman. I walked away and She mouthed 'I'm sorry' twice as I did.

So Rep Porter can ***** for all I care, but I'd run into a burning building guys like Tony Gregg, KingDan, LuckyChewy, Big Cheese.

Or I could show him what we think of him in Little ****ing Italy!

I really don't understand his defenders. I can't stand it when I see the strong beating up on the weak because somehow they've been taken advantage of. Makes me want to slap my desk.

I was on the rail watching hellmutrh once, in one hand he was taking a long time to act to the point the other players were getting annoyed. so i yelled to phil, "hey phill, since you have all this extra time can I get a selphie with you" needless to say he was quite rude about it, specially since he proceeded to make a bad call.

I saw Gobo and Merson walking in the hall together at the 2014 wsop and I was thinking I should go up to Gobo and say, "Hey ... You are the guy from that funny Jeep .gif," and then hand my phone to Merson and say, "Do you mind taking a pic of us dude?" like I had no idea who he was. They would have been laughing about it all day. I figured esp Merson got bothered a lot, so I decided not to do it. Woulda been epic tho.
