Just curious...Lee Watkinson is actually at my table now.

Yes, I took a pot from him :)

So, played with any pros? When, and how'd you do...?

Dunno about pro's, but I played live against Ronnie O'Sullivan (snooker player?) in a casino cash game, and online I've played against a couple of footballers (Frank Lampard and Colin Hendry...different days!). Problem is, you never know if its the real people when its online poker, so I do take those two with a pinch of salt - although Lampard is a big gambler.
Missed out on a poker showcase in Manchester a few sundays ago with some of the Hendon Mob and I think Neil Channing. I was gutted, aside from Roland De-Wolfe he's my poker hero!

Lesser known pro, but I played in the 2006 Main Event and had this guy at one of my tables:

My first table, my seatback was right up against Doyle Brunson who was at the table next to me. Also had Ron Jeremy at my table but I don't know that he qualifies as a pro (maybe a pokeher pro?)

Well I play with Lee Watkinson all the time on full tilt.
As well as Michael Craig on there quite often.
I have played with sen pokveral other pros but just very rarley.
I played with Huck Seed a few times.
And on poker stars I got a chance to play with Daniel Negranu when he was playing the micro limits on there.

This is a really cool thread. Why is Lee Watkinson popping up so much? Does he frequent the micros or something?

Don't you get extra prize money for knocking them out?

I knew this guy who was playing high stakes SNG won 1st place.. and went heads up against Phil Avey losing it all at once... in some live event. Crazy guy!

Very cool! Could you hear Kahn yelling through your computer?

Played against Kenny Tran on FT in a .25/.50 limit table and won a few bucks when the turn brought me a str8 and him two pair. A very cordial guy. Always has time to chat with the people at the table and sometimes those railing him if something catches his eye he wants to respond to.

I have played with a few on FT. The most famous was I think Andy Bloch who knocked me out of a tourney just before the bubble.

Let's see, Trixie, Amber, Monique, although Monique only charged $25 for around the world so maybe she still wasn't a pro yet, :joyman: :confused:, and of course Chuck T. :)
