Default Proves Jim McManus is a cool cat

I jump onto ftp after watching bourne ultimatum, Jim McManus is playing to tables of Omaha.

I live now and grew up in the next town over from where he lived for a very long time. And always wanted to chat with him.

So here it is

KSgrinder (Observer): Hey Jim Love your book, I
live In Naperville, thought it was crazy your from
Lisle
NICOJ25: nice
Dealer: NICOJ25 shows two pair, Aces and
Eights, for high
Dealer: NICOJ25 shows 8,6,3,2,A, for low
Dealer: NICOJ25 wins the high pot ($40.50) with
two pair, Aces and Eights
Dealer: NICOJ25 wins the low pot ($40.50) with
8,6,3,2,A
KSgrinder (Observer): or that you lived in lisle,
small world
Dealer: Hand #3147204451
Jim McManus: tyvm
green100b: jim
Jim McManus: I lost my virginity in Saybrook
green100b: how hot are you runing right now?
KSgrinder (Observer): really, rofl
Dealer: FranklyZappa shows a flush, King high,
for high
Dealer: FranklyZappa wins the pot ($113) with a
flush, King high
Dealer: Hand #3147212114
Dealer: FranklyZappa has 15 seconds left to act
Dealer: NICOJ25 wins the pot ($35)
Dealer: Hand #3147217387
KSgrinder (Observer): I'm right at ogden and
naperville road
KSgrinder (Observer): i'm not going to bother you
much your in a lot of hands, just wanted to say
hello and congratulate you on your success.

Not a whole lot of conversation but more then I expected, I've been to saybrook it's a cool little community club, and I find it hilarious that he popped his cherry there.

I started writing about poker because of Jim McManus, a fabulous writer. Non-poker playing friends loved his Esquire article.

On the evening of November 12, the competition at the too-small hexagonal table was sufficiently talented to relieve me of $290 in less than three hours. Alex Jacob. Richard Berger. Ben Morris. Remember these names, pokeristas.

He's a decent writer who wrote a good book. He still seems like a douche who violently over romanticizes poker, based on both the book and that one FT ep.
