Gimmick or not, I'm excited.

That photo is awesome! the ring is pretty close to bang in the middle of it.

epic stuff

leave doug alone everyone. you know what they say about karma. god is watching and keeping track of everything you do.

I finally got to meet Doug Lee today.

It was a chance encounter. I was at the Rio, in the "Thunderdome", watching the featured table of the Main Event. The seats were surprisingly empty. About 15 minutes later, Doug came in and sat in the row in front of me. As he walked up the row, he glanced at the QuadJacks shirt I was wearing.

At first, I wasn't entirely sure it was him, as I had just seen his face for a few seconds. But then I spotted the ring! I deliberated for a few minutes as to whether I should introduce myself, but he was destroying a box of Nachos, so I decided not to bother him. I got up to leave, planning to catch up with him later. But as I approached the exit stairs, out of the corner of my eye I saw him staring at me.

So I shrugged, walked back, and said hello. I introduced myself first by name, then as SrslySirius. Neither seemed to mean much to him. He gathered from the QuadJacks shirt and press pass that I was in media. I told him that I am, but that I also write songs about poker from time to time, and that I have even written one about him! He replied, "Many songs have been written about me."

I didn't really know what to say to that. I laughed and mentioned that Marco and Zac are around, and would probably like to see him. He said he'd be around. Then I left.

Doug was very polite and friendly. It was an honor to meet the world champ.

needs way more love

not an original observation but love that this thread is the first search result

wp. I totally agree. He carries a burden probably nobody can relate to, being not just a former ME champ, but being the main catalyst for the poker boom over the last 8 years or so. Imagine how different the landscape would be had he not won it.

Imagine a personality like Jamie Gold winning at that time? I doubt a lot of us would even be here.

Read his replies. Seems legit to me.

Not intended as a slam on LivB, btw. Might have just been having a bad day.

I have a bracelet and believe Doug Lee to be atricious at poker and a huge toolbox! Does my opinion count now??

read this thread for the first time. i lol'd

Hello. This is my first post. It took me two days to read this thread at work. I will be in Vegas at the end of next month and hope, hope, hope that I am able to meet Doug Lee. Ideally on the felt!

why did you post this?

One of the best LOL threads to start off with! Go to best of 2+2 forum for moar.

Moneymaker realized he had flaws in his game, he never claimed to be the worlds best, but he played a phenomenal tournament unlike jerry yang and varkonyi who just had the deck run over them for a week straight, moneymaker pulled off some amazing plays that were far ahead of his time in poker.

lol my stomach hurts when i went to the website and saw the hachem pictures, now that chit is funny lol.

Awesome!

The best part is when he declares himself famous, like movie stars or Obama.

"I don't own a photoshop."

Mentioned before, but deserves mentioning again.

lol that is one of the best from dougie. i wonder what a photoshop looks like in his mind.

Seriously? You get more recognized than Hachem in North America? Unlikely.
