    chucky one day last week you said rudy rudy rudy, or something similar at the table.

    I was working online and had chat minimized. I did say hey when I saw, but I assume you were gone at that point because you did not answer.

    sorry about that chief.

    Matusow doesn't take good care of himself. But he is an every-man of sorts.

    was with my girlfriend at the time and she wanted to meet all of them, otherwise I probably wouldn't have approached

    both very friendly and chatted with us a bit

    who knows what Matusow is up to?...he seems like a tormented soul and has a lot of addictions..looked like he was coming off of a bender when I saw him early morning at the Brooklyn Bagel

    Phil Ivey couldn't take his eyes of my wife in the Amazon Room while I was playin' at the Wsop, but I still like the guy's play.....

    Scotty is a fav of mine since getting to play with him at his birthday bash in Okla a few years back, where I took down the second biggest event of the weekend.....

    jade nichole was fun to play with, as she had her rack on display and was directly across from me til she got felted.......

    really appreciate Duhamel's play...... and of course Daniel N., as everyone likes the guy, particularly personality-wise

    One guy who is really cool is Phil Galfond.

    A guy who is a real asshole is Brian Hastings. As a matter of fact, he is really weird and a social deviant

    Not the best, or the grates, but he is my inspiration of what a poker player is, with his ups , and downs. I play very much like him since i took many of his moves, and some of Daniel Negreanu,
    I think he along with Jamie Gold, made the best TV poker ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Are you familiar with the fact that Boyd used to own an online site awhile back and stiffed the players there hundreds of thousands of dollars? He's a penetrating scumbag, mpas.

    yes, I know both of these guys are broke dicks. That's why they are my heroes. Makes me feel good about my game.

    Gus isn't a deadbeat scammer, Boyd is. Hopefully he gets some vigilante justice if he ever crosses paths with someone that he didn't pay.

    Funniest thing Sin, I always considered your play and demeanor to be exactly like Sammy. I've always liked Antonio Esfandiari and Phil laak or Eli Elezra. Despite the fact that Antonio comes off like a used cars salesman. Eli is probably whom I play the most like though unless I'm in my hyper aggressive mode (Extremely rare)

    PO, I hear the same things:

    1) Galfond is one guy who is universally respected. Studies the game and feared by many.

    2) Fedor Holz (brilliant) called out Hastings. Called him a "douche".
