World Poker Tour / World Series of Poker

I keep forgetting to watch this. What day/time/channel is this on? I have DirecTV.

Who do you think is the best poker player out there? Mike Sexson calls everyone the best but whom do you think is #1?

For my money, it is Gus Hansen. Not because he is the winningest player ever on the Tour but rather the truly unpredictable nature of his play. He would be the last guy I would want to face. Howard Lederer is 2nd. You can actually see his mind working when he is contemplating a move and that is unnerving.

Keep waiting for Phil Ivey to return to the final table.

While I was in Vegas over Memorial Day weekend, the World Series of Poker was going `on downtown at Binion's...at least according to a couple people. I wonder who won it.

Greg Raymer won it. He's from pokerstars.com. Four people from pokerstars were on the final table, so if you want to play online, go there!

Who's the dude with the hooded sweater that puts the hood on and closes it after he bets? He cracks me up

Thats the "Unabomber" guy. He was going nuts last week and playing "reverse psychology" chanting for the other guys cards to come up on the flop, dancing around doing the shadow boxing and stuff. That guy is completely nutzo. Hilarious to watch.

The "Unibomber" is classic! I was laughing my ass off watching him last week.

There really is a guy like that? Ithought Ryan was just making things up.

World Poker Tour

I'm watching this today.

Man, Tony G. is the biggest putz I've ever seen on the Tour.

He is so annoying and lucky.

He's definitely someone I'd punch in the throat just to shut him up.

Just use

the web of your hand joel. Between the thumb and forefinger. Very effective but not as deadly as a puch. Can be, with the corrrect force, but not norrmally. Hurts like hell.

Actress Jennifer Tilly Wins Poker Event
Wed Jun 29, 2005

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Actress Jennifer Tilly is no poker pretender. Tilly won the Ladies no-limit Texas Hold 'Em event at the World Series of Poker, marking the first time a celebrity has won a bracelet at the famous tournament.

Tilly's skillful and self-admitted lucky play earned her $158,625. She beat 600 players to capture first place in the grueling two-day event that featured some of the top female pros in the world. The buy-in was $1,000.

"I think she showed an incredible amount of talent," WSOP media director Nolan Dalla said. "She had an enormous chip lead and never looked back. It was almost as though her victory was never in question."

Tilly, 46, said she's learned plenty of pointers from her boyfriend, poker player Phil "Unabomber" Laak.

"When you're living with Phil, you kinda learn by osmosis," Tilly told CardPlayer.com. "Even in the middle of the night, he wakes up screaming out poker terms. Most guys scream out other girls' names. He'll wake up and go, `I should have bet more on the turn.'"

Tilly, an Oscar nominee for her role in the 1994 film, "Bullets Over Broadway," is the first woman in this year's WSOP to win a bracelet.

The WSOP is being held at the Rio hotel-casino.
