I believe there are some people who are celebrities who never wanted to be one, the ones who get that way by pursuing their art passionately. For those people, a minority in my opinion, being a celebrity is a negative side-effect of the business they are in. Mutant Bluegrass That Rocks! http://www.thepickadillos.com

As I say --- I've seen it many, many times before, albeit in an entirely different circle. > But a very healthy portion of Annie Duke's income is directly related to > her association with fans.

The growth of poker due to TV has it's accompanying responsibilities, but there are times that a certain amount of, shall we say, respect be shown. Honestly after the first cold answer I'd of never thot to ask her to actually do something for me. Why? Because I'd assume she was working. As I say, I've met her several times at the Palms and she was nothing but nice. The one time I didn't speak with her she was ---- wait for it --- working, so I knew better. > I actually think Hellmuth probably would have acted more professionally > in that situation, unless it was Doc's wife who put a bad beat on him. Again, you're probably right --- but it seems I've seen him just one step away from Tasmanian devil after a bust out.<grin> Heck, I've even seen Doyle down to one word replies to questions, at the right time. As an aside --- what is Sammy Farha doing these days? Don't see much about him these days. --tr
