Tilly wins - good or bad for poker in the long run?

[Marlow]

Sure, poker gets EVEN MORE press. Great! you think. But I wonder if this win will cement poker more firmly as a *fad* in new or non-player's heads.

What do you think?

[A-Baum]

Choice C. No impact whatsoever.

[meow_meow]

How could this possibly be bad?

[yoadrians]

Good - Means even more players will throw their money out their thinking they have a chance.

[Marlow]

Couldn't agree more...

But no one thinks this could be bad. I'm not talking about tomorrow. I'm talking about the LONG RUN.

I wonder if this will bring corporate sponsorship to the game... anyone have thoughts on this?? Once players start getting sponsorships for watches and booze, I believe that's a sign that the game is truly etched into our culture's fabric.

[TheCroShow]

i choose option C, doesn't matter. name 3 movies she has been in. tough isn't it? bound and umm....i cannot name any others. seed of chucky? if she were a big-name actress, it may have a bigger impact. this does nothing for poker other than "oh hey cool some chick that has done 1 good movie won a bracelet."

[CrazyN8]

good. This should attract more woman to poker and we all know men are intellectually superior to woman, right? *what's that, we aren't?* [censored]!

[toss]

We need someone like Ben Affleck or Toby Maguire to win one. If Ben made it to the final table at the WPT, the ratings would have been stupid.

Are you kidding? Now I can do this:

Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan both won WSOP Bracelets in 2003.
Johnny Chan and Jennifer Tilly both won WSOP Bracelets in 2005.
Jennifer Tilly and David Alan Greer were both in Stuart Little.
David Alan Greer and Kevin Bacon were both in The Woodsman.

Clearly, this is amazing for poker.

I think it is good if it entice more people to join the fad. Ben Afflect, on the other hand, would probably be a killjoy. (sp?)

[Sluss]

For what it's worth she is a pretty succesful and I think very popular set of breasts, I mean actress.

But here is the list if you don't think so:
Jennifer Tilly (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000236/)

lol @ you. i know she has been doing movies for about 15-20 years..i'm not saying she has only ever done 1 movie in her career...how many of her roles were memorable enough to say "oh yeah she was in so and so movie right?" sigh....you missed the point son xD

Sure, poker gets EVEN MORE press. Great! you think. But I wonder if this win will cement poker more firmly as a *fad* in new or non-player's heads.

What do you think?

[/ QUOTE ]

My honest opinion is that you just might be partially retarded. She won the WOMEN'S EVENT! How is her winning it this year any different than the Asian woman, (Doan I believe) winning it last year?

I'm completely missing how a woman, winning a womens' event, would impact poker on a broad scale.

[hectorjelly]

Well it sure would impact poker if a man won it.

[pipster]

Considering she is at least marginally famous, more attractive (to non-geeks especially) than the average woman poker player, living with Phil Laak and a great advocate for the joy of poker... I think it is great.

BTW, I love this quote:

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.'"

But Affleck is considered a pretty smart guy...Tilly usually plays a dumb character (no idea if she is smart or not)...think of all the dumb people who will want to play.

On 2nd thought, dumb people will play anyway.
