Anybody like Vince Van Patten?

I actually find his whole schtick quite funny. The cheesy hand names, the wired pairs, his little comments about when players hit a big hand or miss their draw, (Gus has Willie Nelson songs going off in his head, etc). I am probably alone, right?

I like him.

Bingo Bango Bongo!

I love some of his lines:

"He's got West Hollywood." (pocket queens).

and when at the Bellagio tourney a player kept checking a guy's raise, Vince said,

"He's hanging around like a bad relative at Thanksgiving."

I thought his comment during the most recent Ladies Night tournament about "Ms. Grinder" being as tight as a pair of Kirstie Alley's jeans was pretty funny.

Was VVP ever a fish in the big game? I'm curious what games he frequented and maybe someone has some stories or somethin ...

I don't think he's ever played in the big game, but, I'm pretty sure he plays high stakes though.

I met him once and he told me about playing with Stu Ungar. It was really cool hearing about Stuey from someone that knew him.

He's the favorite whipping boy of this board. I like Vince, he makes me laugh, he's funnier than Norman Chad who has the same predictable jokes, "ex-wife . . . ", "the prettiest card in the deck. . ."
Also, I was a big Eight Is Enough fan growing up, I liked his dad Dick Van Patten, its hard to dislike Van Patten.

I enjoy making fun of Vince. I forget what WPT episode it was but he said something like

"he records himself talking at night then plays it backwards in his sleep"

Mike said "Vince, what are you talking about

Vince: "I don't know".
