Stars out at the Golden Nugget tonight

[Mr.Smith]

was playing poker there and there was a table with Phil Ivey and Johnny Chan and an asian I don't recognize. Gus Hansen joined later, saw TJ Cloutier walking around the room.

I DARED Johhny Chan and Phil Ivey to a $100 freeze out against me. I told them " We don't stop till someone has it all." They were too intimidated by me to even reply. They expect people to kiss their feet now and I as an unknown, instead challenged them.

I'm in their head, boys. They don't want no part of me!

ok now, i am not trying to be funny here, but who the hell are those guys you just named? I swear to god i have never heard of any of em..And you call these guys stars???

Who in the world is phil ivey, johnny chan, gus hansen and TJ Cloutier. Is this a joke? I thought you were going to say you met Michael Jordan, Robert Deniro, or some famous names instead of these deadbeats..

I didn't notice a poker room at the nugget when I was there last year for the RX bash. We walked over to Binions and played our RX tourney.

Volitan,
they just reopened the poker room at the GN recently.

BTW, the real star was there last week, yes, none other than "Green Doberman".

Intimidated? Nothing personal Mr. Smith, but don't you think it was a possibility that guys who play thousand dollar plus limit games didn't have the time to take your 100 bucks from you? Its not like they are hurting for cash.

If I saw Kevin Garnett on the street and dared him to a $100 game of 1-on-1, good chance he would laugh his ass off and move on.

 

[PeteRoseJR]

Funk,

Very true. KG would probably give you a hundred just to leave him alone. $ 100.00 to them is like .40 cents to me.

And because while poker takes a great deal of skill, there's also a great deal of luck involved... Reference all the big names going out of the WSOP the first few days and relative unknowns winning it consistently. In poker, if people are gunning specifically to knock you out and don't have any care to their bankroll, its not really that difficult to knock someone out.

Congrats to all of those that jumped on FIELD at 1:1. Incredible value. I got in on it late at -180 thanks to a tip from a friend (I don't give a rat's ass about poker, I just like positive EV

)
