Seriously how annoying it must be for someone like Negreanu and co to get approached all the time.

Show some respect op and give people some privacy especially when they're in a middle of a conversation. I mean get over it to be frank if you can be bothered going to the trouble to post about this little story I'm pretty sure your the one who's a dick.

Anybody who thinks this way would have never asked to have their picture taken with a famous poker player in the first place, Daniel or Barryg. Story doesn't add up.

Sure there is a time and place for autographs and pictures, but i'm going out on a bigggg limb here and say that sitting at a 1-3 table is one of those times where it is completely acceptable and reasonable to ask for one.

20 posts in after Barry Greenstein. While you are here Barry, is it true that you like asian women? Or is this forum wrong once again?

Also, because Daniel is a vegan, he does not drink, as vegans eat like cows, and cows don´t drink.

Met DN at Bellagio a couple of years ago and he was very cool. Talked with me for a few and was his usual charismatic self that you have seen on tv. I didn't ask for a pic or autograph tho, so maybe thats why...

When I approached him at the RIO during a break, he wasn't even playing, just sitting there with a weird expression on his face. When I ask for a pic he very rudely and arrogantly said "Can't you even let me finish first? Get the f**k out of my stall!"

Needless to say I was offended by his language and superior attitude but decided to give him another chance and waited outside the bathroom. But when he comes out, he blows right by me, ignoring his implied promise to take a post-s**t photo with me.

Instead he walks up to his beautiful girlfriend and starts kissing her. Being polite, I of course wait my turn. Only when he's finished do I start to lovingly place my tongue in her mouth. Thats when Daniel ruins the moment by yelling at me again!

He rudely rips my hand off her ass and starts escorting her down the hall away from me, treating me like I'm the a**h**e!

I don't care how famous you think you are, it's clearly rude to treat fans like that. To let him know that I start following them yelling "My taxes pay your salary! My taxes pay your salary!"*

The jerk then forces me to run to keep up with them, and that's when security gets involved. Of course, who do you think they believe, the starstruck out of town fan who just wanted an autograph, a pic, and a kiss, or Mr. Vegas "bigshot"?

Well, Daniel, I'm out now and I'm not going to keep quiet about your arrogant sense of personal space and inordinate pride in your abilities and girlfriend. May you burn in a hell for being so confident and successful.

hahahahahaha too funny.

I would buy you a beer and tell you the hell with Pics or autographs.

It's just so ridiculous for people to expect to have a pleasant encounter with someone 100% of the time. DN has been known to be very approachable and likable, but all it takes is one bad experience and somebody has a new thread started on 2+2 about how much DN sucks.

I think the original poster needs to ask himself why he wanted a photo with them in the first place.

Did you want to post it on your facebook page to show everyone?

I've never understood why people want to put celebrities in the awkward position of having to take photos with complete strangers. I mean, what if you're totally hung over, and don't feel like looking like **** in some ****ty iphone digital photo under florescent lighting? You can never say no, because you come off like an *******.

So, basically, it's a lose lose situation. You can't finish a conversation, or chill alone for a moment in public, and you can't say no, or else you're an *******.

Frankly, I think you're an ******* for bothering him.

Recently, Shia Labouf was in a bar, and pretty drunk, and someone asked him for a photo, he nicely asked him if he could not do it because he was pretty drunk. Then later the guy tried to start of fight because HE was being the *******.

Why did he want Shia's picture again?

Here we see it, the solitary hunter approaches his unsuspecting pray, armed only with a camera and the primal instinct to feed his hungry facebook children with a cool profile picture... POUNCE!

Well, after 16 pages of posts, at least OP is probably now more famous than DN himself and can get harassed for pictures and see what it's like. gl to you
