I was there this weekend as well, musta been at a different time though, as I did not see him. I love going up there. The 1/2 NL games can be pretty bad sometimes, and I wish they would spread a 2/5 or a 2/3 NL game. I did play the 5/5 once, but the game broke up after an hour after I joined. I also frequent the Allegany Seneca poker room, as it is closer to my school near Pitt.

back when i was in high school, i used to work at the local theatre. Just so happens, the lakers were in town to play an exhibition game against some scrub team that week, probably the jazz or something (of course, after they lost stockton and the mail man).anyway, word had it that Big Shaq Daddy just came in to watch a movie, and all of my co-workers were getting all psyched up just to see this beast of a man. So his movie breaks, and theres a big crowd just looking and admiring this NBA all-star. I say to myself, "screw this, im not gonna just watch him leave, ima be a man and get a picture with this guy."I begin to walk up too shaq and his possy, feeling brave and ready to take on the world. I'm starting to get the butterflies in my stomach now. I ask him as my voice begins to squeak, "hey sha' ack man? you think i could get a picture?"Shaq "sorry kid, can't take any pictures without my agents consent." As hes finishing his statement, one of his hoodlums gives me the forearm and brushes me off to the side and out of their way. by now, all my co-workers are having a ball laughing it up, and pointing their fingers and what not.Whatever man, I talked to Shaquille O'neal 8)

I saw The Professor Howard Lederer again at Vons 2 days ago and said what's up to him. Not really a big deal. I was behind him in line at the Panda Express inside the store and while he was waiting for his order he was scratching off a football game card that they give you if you spend $25 bucks or more. I don't think he noticed my personalised light blue autographed FCP hat though. B IN LV

I like how sometimes I can't tell if we're talking poker or wrestling."So then the Magician walks past me, and omg it's the professor. What's he doing with the Professor? Uh oh, poker brats coming down ringside......Phew, Kid Poker came out from under the ring to save the day"They have names, people. Stop sounding like you're 12.

Yeah, because if your g/f wasn't there the 3 of you would have headed off for some hot sweaty 3-way action.
