Who's more famous?

Weird pattern lately.  I have been playing full ring games, losing early, then getting even or winner, the games then have gotten short with massive action players and then the wheels fall off the roller coaster.  Most of the players are losers or maybe break even players in full ring games, and are definitely dogs in short handed games, but for whatever reason, I seem to be running horrid against them here lately.

Taxicab Dave was in the game last night, and proceeded to lose a ton early and then go on a massive heater where he couldn't lose a hand.  Whatever he needed he got on the river.  8d2d, limp on the button, ok here have running diamonds.  Very silly.

Have played quite a bit with Gavin Griffin here lately.  I have played with him in the 20/40 mainly.  He plays good, but I will say I think he gets a bit over emotional when he takes a beat.  For the most part he's an upstart guy, well mannered, speaks intelligently, and seems like a good guy.  However for a professional, I would think that he would be used to taking a beat by now, particularly in limit holdem.  I think he is more bothered, by when he thinks a good/reasonable player beats him, rather than a poor player.  Either way, it's part of the game, muck your hand graciously and move on to the next hand.

Last night we had a discussion as to who was the more famous person at our table as there is a local celebrity playing as well, plus another individual with a famous name.

So from Google:
Gavin Griffin : About 10,300,000 results
Local Celeb: About 411,000 results
Famous Name: About 2,250,000 results

My real life name: 132,000,000 results
My pseudonym: About 5,110 results

However, my real life name is pretty common and I think there is a famous jazz musician with the same name, but it's pretty funny that I have the largest number of google hits.

So I guess I win.
