He knows things like "Bad Beat", "no-limit freeze out", "Big Slick"

Already - light years ahead of me in poker!

Why does it always happen, that when someone, especially someone who's famous, posts something like this people feel obligated to take it out of context, proportion, or whatever the hell it is they decide to take it out of?
He had a major cool, close moment with Ryan, and the first thing to bounce off the old gray matter is "what a crappy poker player?" It wasn't about winning the hand...it was about winning back part of a special connection you have with someone who's extreamly important to you. Damn....you sound like my wife..

Man, I'm sorry you think I'm busting on the guy. It was a bad beat story... even he said so. The comment about him being invited to our table wasn't because of his playing prowess... it's because I'd love to play poker with him. Didn't you see the update?? I'm not much of a poker player myself, and we all have bad beat stories. I think you took this the wrong way.
