Oh yes - I got similar comments about my favorable chances, too. Apparently Fro and I have a reputation.
At one point yesterday TEDTM and Todd (the River Chief) Graham were running over the game and eliciting incredulous comments that eventually turned to people evaluating each other in a playful way. At one point the discussion turned to me being a "good player" and I responded with, "Look at this small stack! I have no idea what I'm doing!"
The guy next to me responds, "You just don't have cards, but I've been watching you, you're one of the best players here! You know what you're doing!"
Then the guy across the table from me, someone I had never met before yesterday says, "Yep. I've heard of you. You don't have use fooled!"
I never caught his name so I have no idea how he knew me.
I was stunned, but flattered. Too bad I didn't live up to my reputation...
