#6 - Sept 15th '08 (4.00pm-ish): “LAPPIN, the cardroom fly schmoozes to make the pain go away” 09/15/2008
Didn’t I get eliminated an hour ago? Well yes, but you see there are no trapdoors or burly bouncers to eject you once your time has come. This opens the door for LOSERS like myself to hang around in a desperate attempt to meet celebrity poker players. Michael was kind enough to do an introduction exchange – I introduced him to Hendon Mobster Joe Beevers (who has played in a couple of my private online games but I must admit to only meeting in person moments earlier) and he introduced me to Andy Bloch whose game I have always admired, believing him to be the most under-rated of the world’s elite. Andy was, as you can imagine, another likeable man, friendly and willing to talk strategy with a perfect stranger. He had just arrived as part of the TEAM FULL TILT CELEBRITY BANDWAGON who included Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Roland DeWolfe and Allen Cunningham. I exchanged brief words with Allen who again was super-polite, not at all reticent and happy to meet-n-greet. CommentsLeave a Reply | ArchivesFebruary 2012 Categories |
