I don't get this...have you played w/ him. Do you know how he plays? How exactly are you qualified to assess his abilities?
Just because he's been in movies doesn't mean he isn't better than a good portion of the people who post here.

Right, otherwise we don't get to clean-up on you at 70-1 in Dublin. Back-2-Back is no problem, right? Congrats and good Luck.

I was at the Commerce this weekend. While in the elevator for a minute, Dan Harrington mentioned that he thought Affleck was playing very good.

Actually, in the article someone linked, Affleck has been coached by pros like Annie Duke and Esfandiari. Just because he's an actor doesn't mean he's got the skills of most on celeb poker showdown [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
