Adam Schoenfeld turned up at my table once to my left, I told him I was going to take him out, he told me to go for it, so I robbed his blind about 3 times, then he flatted my 85s from SB, I flop the flush, he check shoves and I got a new t-shirt!

Also, enjoyed a coffee with Andrew Feldman at Starbucks. Genuinely lovely guy.

Just played with Krantz at a home game. I don't remember too many hands I had with him, I know I lost one and won one, but I ended tripled up for the evening.

I think I played with a Shulman or 2 at Spadeclub. One of my regular home game peeps made a final tv WPT table (keeping their privacy).

I played in a private cash game in a Mansion in Hollywood Hills. I was at the kiddie table though . There was another table with Lacey Jones (skillbet.com), Mike Sexton (WPT) and a few other poker personalities who names escape me.

I had dinner with Johnny Chan in Vegas one (mutual friend), he was a cool guy and he chastised his son in from of everyone for gambling on UFC (small bet too).

I sent Bryan Devonshire some emails cheering him on in this year's wsop.... & he even wrote me back! lol

Annie Duke, Hollywood Dave, and Lacey Jones were all lifetime losers to me playing Stud 8 and HORSE at 5/10+. The best player I've ever played was HossTBF.

Just found out that I had met Huck Seed 24-25 years ago before he got famous. He rented a room from a guy I owned a boat with, not far from the Normandie Casino, and what later became the Hustler Casino. We knew he was a poker player, and a few stories emerged during a re-union with my boat bud.

I vaguely remember him, we party'ed at that house fairly often. I seem to remember him declining to party cuz he had a poker game he wanted to get to. But remembering a particular party night 25 years ago is rare for me.

Played with Randy 'Nanonoko' Lew on Stars back rite before black friday, Randy was playing at the micro stakes from .02/.05 - .10/.25. Randy was very nice answering any and all questions players at the table would ask him.

About eight, nine months ago, I'm at the Taj, it's late,
and I see Johnny Chan walk in. And he goes, he sits.
And the whole place stops when Johnny Chan walks in.
Everybody puts an eye on him.
After a little while, there wasn't a crap game going...
'cause all the high rollers are over there watching him.
Some are playing with him, giving away their money to this guy to say...
"Oh, I played with the World Champion."
And you know what I did? I sat down.
Played tight for an hour. I folded mostly, and then I made a score
I had nothing. But he raised.
And I just decided, you know, I don't care about the money.
I'm just gonna outplay the guy.
I'm just gonna outplay this guy this hand.
I re-raised. And he just comes right back over the top of me,
trying to bully me like I'm some ****ing tourist.
I hesitate for two seconds. I re-raised.
And he makes a move toward his checks, and he looks at me.
And he looks at his cards, and he looks at me again.
And he mucked it. I took it down.
"Did you have it?" "I'm sorry, John. I don't remember."
I got up, and I walked to the cashier.
I sat with the best in the world, and I won.
