PokerKid Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 This one doesn't really fit anywhere, but I couldn't have been happier with this pickup so I had to post it. It is a magazine, not comic related. I had been looking for this magazine since I saw someone selling a cover replica a year or so back. It came up on eBay. Usually, Screen Guides don't go for much, but a 1939 magazine with a Gone With the Wind cover had me worried it might have a few people going for it. I just figured I'd pay whatever the market price was so I put in a $250 bid. Got it for $20. It arrived. It is tabloid size and in beautiful shape.

(thumbs u Good luck to you. I've played in five events - six counting the free media event, which is fun but doesn't much resemble any other WSOP event - and oddly the two main events were the least fun of the bunch. (Had I made it into the money, I might feel differently.) If you love to play and don't happen to win a seat, it is worth buying into one of the cheap - $1,500-$2,500 - events once for the experience. My first tournament there was a limit hold 'em tourney. Despite 1,200 people in the tourney, Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, and John D'Agostino along with a couple other name players who show up regularly on TV, but their names are slipping my mind at the moment, were at the table with me. And, oddly enough, during a break, Doyle Brunson apparently got turned around, took my seat and was playing with my chips. My friends were calling back home during the tournament and sending out e-mail updates on what was going on. It was over the top but a blast. I busted out shortly before the money (I'll spare you a whiny bad beat story), but had one of the best times I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerKid Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 And, oddly enough, during a break, Doyle Brunson apparently got turned around, took my seat and was playing with my chips. Did he at least add to your stack? Nope, he was just fumbling with the chips during a break, he didn't play any hands. And he was gone before I got back from break, but people at the table were talking like the Pope had just dropped by. One of the great things about the WSOP is getting to talk with everyone. I got to have good conversations with James Woods, Greg Raymer and, best of all, Penn Jillette (with Penn, it is less of a conversation and more of smiling while he has a very loud conversation with the room. Good natured and always amusing). And you can meet or at least see pretty much any poker player or poker playing celebrity you would like. It is very casual and fun. The highlight was sitting at the table with Phil Ivey on my right and Robert Williamson III at the the table next to us. They were going back and forth trying to make a $50,000 wager on who would win more money. Somehow Ivey starts bragging about how he is one of the three best Ms. Pac-Man players in the world and Williamson is giving him about his golf game. They were going at each other for more than an hour. Had very little to do with poker, but was some of the funniest stuff I had heard at the table in a long time.
