I heard Chan is a hudge douche.

What'd he do to you?

We passed him and said hi, and the guy absolutely ignored us. It was as if this once bus boy, who had made it as a poker pro (gambler) was now too good to even say hello. Its not like he is the ceo of some big company, or discovered the cure for cancer. He is a gambler.

a)Doyle almost ran me over going about 500mph on his scooter down the hall leading to the convention center, he did, however, waive and smile

b) Chau Giang ignored me and everyone else at my table

c) Mike Sexton said "thanks" when at smoke break, me saying "nice (WPT) show"

d) Barry Greenstein said "thanks", passing him in hallway, me saying "love your book"

LOL, like the Greenstein comment. Have to remember to compliment them to get a hello.

Brandon Adams always gave me his chip count as I walked by, which is by far the kindest thing a pro can do, as they tell us we're not supposed to "sweat players" unless we're writing about a hand or getting a chip count. Start to linger, and they start worrying about the aisles getting crowded.

If you're still playing, and you see a skinny kid not with PokerNews taking notes in a black notebook, wave to him and tell him you're from 2+2.

What do you mean by good experience? Robert Williamson was extremely nice to the table. On the other hand, he doesn't play unlimited holdem poker very well.
