Phil Laak - will this guy win something big or fade into bolivion?
 

I don't even need him to win, maybe just place in a tourney where he gets more than $100,000. He seems like he is getting more attention than he deserves.

Yes, he is getting much more attention than he desreves. It is more for his outrageous behavior on tv than his actual ability. they even have him hosting the hollywood holdem show on E lol. It puts under his name at start of show "world champion" i think LOL!

i just caught my first episode of hollywood hold'em since it was on at 2am for some reason. it was the one at puddy from seinfeld's house. i know celebrity poker has to be a guilty pleasure for some poker players, but i don't think any poker players could appreciate this show. too much stuff going on. they might as well put "worldwide poker champion" under his name.

I've read where he is dating the buxom Jennifer Tilly. He's got that going for him!

I must admit it is a guilty pleasure. Kinda. I don't like it either but its still poker so for some warped curiousity and humor i watch if no other poker is on. Could you imagine being in a real home game for cash with these people that have no idea how to play poker and could care less about money. I love the big 10k presentation. It is a daily allowance for most of these rich kids. It kinda makes it silly.

Is that a misspelling of bolivia, or oblivion? For all intents and purposes, I guess it's the same thing.... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Sorry, sorry....

It's intentional. He's quoting Mike Tyson.
