I’ve not met any, but I do deal with Paul Jackson’s twin brother in my professional life. He’s a barrister.
I’d love to have a beer with Mickey Appleman.

The most star struck I’ve ever been was when I played against Dan Harrington in the WSOP main event at what turned out to be one of the funnest tables of my life. I first started taking poker seriously when I read his tournament series back in college, and he is such a genuinely warm and smart person. Was a very full circle moment for me when Harrington (jokingly) complained to Collin (they’d met through their book publisher before) about me check/raising him all the time. Such a fun day on the felt that years later it feels kind of more like it was a dream haha

That's a Really Sweet Memory Katie...

I'm sure you've given others that very same feeling when they've had the opportunity to play on a table with you also... well that's how I'd imagine it to feel for me any way

I can not remember the names, but about 15 years ago I was at the MGM Grand. I stood at the poker area trying to get up the nerve to play. I was there for an hour almost with girl at the desk asking "do you want to play now" every 10 min. I was too scared to say yes. Then these two guys walk in the girl says your table is ready, that should have been my first glue. The small tables were 50 buy in I think, she looks at me an asked again and I like a big idiot say yes. $500 buy in, oh shit. Ended up being 6 players I think. After about hour I am up to $1,600 so doing pretty good. All the time thinking I know a couple of these guys. Then it clicks, I have seen these guys playing on TV, none are big names but at least big enough to be on TV. I was done, hands shaking nervous has hell. Anyway I went down to -200 and at at point said thank you guys very much but I am out of my league. The one guy actually laughed and said "you where playing very well until you realized who you where playing with. I took that as a compliment and walked away with a nice experience.

I do not remember there names but I played poker with 5 pros I see on TV. Not big names but still pros play on TV. One even hit the final table that year. I had just won 3000 the day before so I decided play in a higher stacks game. Buy in was 500 and after an hour I was up to 1800 or there about. Then I realized who I was playing with and all went to hell. Hands shaking, heart beating rapidly and so on.
