Funny 2+2 Post
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=242975
The part about the following post on 2+2 that made me laugh was the guy claiming Dutch Boyd is nuts is the same guy walking around with a stack of T/5 offsuit cards trying to get them signed by random celebrity poker players one of them being Dutch Boyd whose blog he actually reads and thinks is a real signature coup for his T5 deck of cards. I'd bet my roll the guy who posted this is American and clearly doesn't appreciate the irony of his own post and actions.
"(Yes, I realize the title of this thread is zero surprise)
long-ish story to follow....
Today at the wsop expo my buddy Mike and I saw Kenna James singing a country tune on the Aussie Millions karaoke setup. If that wasn't strange enough, the song ended with him and Dutch Boyd singing out the last chorus together.
After they finished, it looked to me like the perfect time to get Dutch to autograph a couple of playing cards (5-T offsuit....it's a "signature hand" of a home game I play in, and we have a ton of cards signed by a gajillion different pros...just for fun)
Me: "Dutch, you think you can sign a couple of cards for me?"
Dutch: "you want MY autograph?"
Me: "Yeah. I know who you are. I like to read your blog. Interesting stuff."
Dutch: "Right on"
(I hand him the cards)
Dutch: "What's with the five-ten?"
Me: "It's kind of a signature hand for a poker league I play with"
(I show him that I have a big stack of cards presorted into five-ten, hoping to assure him I'm not some douche who's just handing him 2 random cards out of a deck that have zero meaning)
Dutch: "Very cool. You know two red fives are my favorite hand. That's what I won my bracelet with"
(he then takes the stack of cards out of my hands and starts pulling out all the red fives - while holding them, he proceeds to sign the back of one of the cards, including with some sort of chinese looking symbol. He then puts the stack of red fives in his shirt pocket, hands me the signed card, turns his back to me and tells his girlfriend that he and Kenna want to go get high)
Me: "Hey there man, can I I have my cards back"
Dutch: "Do I own you money?"
Me: "Uhhh. No?"
Dutch: "Well autographs aren't free" (w/crazy eyes darting all around)
(turns his back to me again)
Me: "Dude, uhh, you must have me confused with someone else. How about you gimme my cards"
(turns back with a 'seriously I just may start throwing my own feces' sorta look on his face)
Dutch: "Well do you have a business card?"
Me: "What? Uhhh, Yeah, actually." (thinking this dude is fuggin nuts)
Dutch: "Well give me your business card, and I'll trade you these cards back"
(I whip out my business card and hand it to him)
Dutch: "Thanks man!" (hands me my cards along with a business card for the company that makes those electronic dealer buttons and goes back to talking to girlfriend about plans to go get high with Kenna)
To summarize: This dude is fuggin nuts. I can't even tell if he thought he was just being funny by trying to keep the cards, trying to be "tough" by keeping the cards, or just plain "I haven't taken my meds" Dutch. The whole experience made me and Mike walk away scratching our heads...."

What's nuts about carrying playing cards to get people to sign them? At a poker tournament? Way to go out on a limb by guessing he was American, they were in Las Vegas. The odds are on your side. Do you like scotch? Do you smoke a pipe, wear a lot of herringbone and tweed, and romp amongst the heather?
