I hope that's "Boston"s lucky hat, because it's freaking disgusting. Ever seen a guy more uncomfortable on TV and/or playing with celebrities?

and/or playing with celebrities

LOL @ calling those guys celebrities.... they are poker players and some (Antonio, MIke and Gold) think they are celebrities but they are not celebrities.

[Passaman]

Really? What makes a person a celebrity? Isn't being instantly recognizable and being on TV often and having people know your name being a celebrity?

[redron85]

alan boston looks like a psychopath with his wide open eyes

[pjf1969]

This guy needs to turn the volume down. This reminds me why playing live poker sucks

[KSOT]

I seriously can't listen to him. How much coke did he blow on his last bathroom break?

I hate watching Gold and Matusow. Wasicka and Sexton are bores so I'll pass this week. And who the hell is this Boston person?

[SDOM_FGAID]

alan boston is a very respected stud specialist, as well as a very successfull sports gambler, specializing in college basketball. He is also an FTP pro (in RED)

They may be celebrities within the poker world but the poker world is a very small group despite what you may think. They are not "main stream" celebrities and in regard to your original statement - I am sure he has played with nearly everyone if not everyone at the table so the fact they are "poker celebrities" should have no bearing. I agree that he might be a little nervous in front of the cameras though.
