Re: Anyone have a good experience meeting a pro at the WSOP?
I played $2-$5 at The Venetian with Kenna James while he was waiting for the bigger game to start. He was supercool to everyone at the table. People asked a few questions and he was nice to everyone. Then he started chatting it up with the guy to his left. I was on his right so I was listening to what they were saying. They talked for a while about different things, mostly poker talk and Kenna was basically being the gracious pro rapping with a fan. About 20 min. into the conversation the guy goes, "So, what do you do for a living?". Only Kenna and I heard it and he didn't answer the guy. He just had a confused look on his face. It was pretty awkward because the dude asked again, a little put off by no response. I thought I should say something but I didn't want to make a big deal about it and make it worse. Finally, Kenna tells him that he's a poker pro and I asked the guy if he watches poker on T.V. He said, "No I live in Italy." That ended the conversation and Kenna left the table a few hands later.
