General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

No, this thread is not all about me, or Krantz or DeathDonkey, or Entity or danzasmack (although he might tell the story on how he got that name...) or any of the Executive Producers or the coaching team we have assembled for you guys...

It's about you.

But, I'll lead you off since for one thing, I am a member of this community, I am a fan of the videos, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not only a founder I am also a client. I can find the Sy Sperling thread from a long time ago, but I sure posted that before as Catus Jack would remember.

DC member you wish you could meet: Oh, I guess DeathDonkey because he has the coolest avatar, but I think meeting Oink would be cool too. Denmark is a fun country and I hear Oink has taste for music. (Go Slayer?)
