my former boss told me she used to deal to Chan and he was always broke and trying to borrow money to get into 1-3 and 1-5 stud games at the Bike and said he was an [censored] to everyone

FWIW this information is circa 1985-86

In 2005, when Chan got busted from the WSOP I saw him give his ratty, rotten orange to bum outside the casino.

When I busted Annie from the $5K NLH WSOP in '03 (she limp-reraised with KK; I held AKs and we were both somewhat shortstacked, and of course I windowed an A), she berated me for about thirty seconds, telling all who would listen what a crappy, stupid player I was. I'm generally a nice guy, so when her rant was over, nobody said a single thing and the table was kinda tense.

Chan then said, deadpan: "I would have done the same thing, Annie." It was clear to me from context that he knew it was a timing joke.

I have had several negative experiences with him, however.

All the hate rumours usually stem from an incident involving Chan while hes @ the poker table.

He was in Van. recently for his invitational tournament and my friends and I ended up being seated next to him at a restaurant. We started talking to him and ended up joining our tables together, ordered bottle service and got completely wasted...he's an extremely cool dude to chill with, and he insisted on covering the bill @ the end.

He was down to roll w/ us to Brandi's (stripclub) after but ended up meeting some friends back @ his hotel.

It's understandable that he has a negative rep. w/ alot of people as he does act like an arrogant [censored] towards people who suck at life...saw this alot during the tourny...but if your not socially inept or dealing him coolers, he can be a really nice down to earth guy.
