This week at Hollywood Poker: :: Poker News: Go Heads Up With the Stars
Being a clubHOLLYWOODpoker member is as easy as hitting the real money tables. Every month we reward clubHOLLYWOODpoker members for their support with $15,000 in freerolls.
Hollywood and poker is a winning combination. From the beginning, poker players have been regarded as celebrities. Think wild-west, think Wild Bill, think Poker Alice, think Doc Holiday. Think about the immortality given to these real people through film. So, it’s not all that surprising that we eat it up when a Hollywood star gains poker fame in addition to their regular celebrity. Think James Woods, think Mena Suvari, think Vince Van Patten. It seems these Stars steal the scene wherever they go – and we love them for it. That’s why shows like Celebrity Poker Showdown attract millions of viewers. It’s also why Hollywood Poker has attracted a world-wide community of players who log-in daily to go head to head with some of Hollywood’s biggest and best poker crazed Celebrities. You never know who you’ll see at the tables. Hollywood Poker hosts 3 weekly Celebrity Tournaments: The Michael Woods Celebrity Invitational, Celebrity Poker Night and the Hollywood Poker Celebrity Classic. All of these events have guaranteed Celebrity attendance, Celebrity Bounties and a chance to win a seat in the WSOP. In fact, the more Stars you knock out, the more money you win. Bust out 1 Celebrity and you score $25; 2 will get you $500; take out 3 and you snag $2,500 as well as a seat in the WSOP if the third Celebrity was James Woods, Vince Van Patten or the tournament’s Celebrity Host. If you’re really on a roll and knock out 4 Stars, we’re sending you straight to the WSOP with a $12,500 Prize Package. Your railbird days are over. Now’s your chance to join your favorite Stars and poker pros at the tables – and if you play your cards right, you could be one of them! Learn more about our WSOP Celebrity Bounty Tournament Series.

Want your chance in the Spotlight? Simply e-mail me at hollay@hollywoodpoker.com. If you’re chosen for the week’s Player Spotlight, you’ll win Hollywood Poker gear! In this week's Player Spotlight meet MofTime! I have been married 6 times. Didn't learn much, save for the importance of a prenupt and the invaluable weight of patience - not that either of these served me well with women. I think it was Rod Stewart that said something about the next time he wants to get married, he’ll just find a girl he doesn’t like and give her his house. I could be wrong though. I’m sure my ex’s would say so. My trials with women have served me well at the tables though. In May of last year, I was able to retire early and spend my days in the comfort of my own home making a living as a poker player. For the most part, I play live. In fact, Hollywood Poker is the only place I play online – mainly because the people are great, the site is easy to navigate, I’m climbing the ladder as a member of clubHOLLYWOODpoker AND the first time I played, I was at Vince Van Patten’s table – what a guy! He’s man for all of us to aspire to be like. He’s got it all: Athletic abilities, poker suave and a beautiful, talented, INDEPENDENT wife. (Not that I’m stressing anything in particular.) I’m still hoping to get seated next to Eileen one of these days and give Vince a run for his money! See you at the tables! -MofTime
The ups and downs in poker have helped me in other parts of life – especially because I play for such high stakes. Read another Hollywood Poker exclusive Celebrity Poker Blog by our very own James Woods. To learn more about Vince Van Patten, visit the Famous Faces section of our 'Green Room'.
A regular Friday night poker game was still going strong well after midnight when one of the players returned from the bathroom with an urgent report. "Roger, listen," he told the host, "Walter's in the kitchen making love to your wife." "OK, that's it, guys," Roger said. "This is positively the last deal." Have a bit of poker humor hidden up your sleeve? E-mail it to me at hollay@hollywoodpoker.com and it could be featured in the INSIDER.   Hollywood Poker ContestsThe Hollywood Poker Quiz Every week, tons of players flock to the site to take Hollywood Poker's Quiz and are automatically entered in a draw for Hollywood Poker gear. All answers are on the site and about the site, so it's fast and easy. I anticipate many flushes. There’ll be plenty of pot shots taken, that’s for sure. Gut shots, too. Like hunting, at the WSOP you have to watch your back at all times, anticipate your prey’s every move and for goodness sakes, don’t trust the guy next to you. Don’t get me started about trapping fish at the river. Frankly, I am shooting for the seniors’ NLH bracelet. (Leave the young bucks out of it.) I am planning to get married and spend my honeymoon – part of it – at the final table for us “old” guys. Then maybe my bride and I are going to party like rock stars. ~Mr.Sweetie Congratulations Mr. Sweetie! You've won a tournament ticket! Express your creativity by entering Hollywood Poker's popular Write to Win contest. If your entry is chosen as a finalist, you could win a tournament ticket to one of Hollywood Poker's Celebrity Tournaments. All you have to do is write about anything poker related and send it to hollay@hollywoodpoker.com. I’ll post all articles that qualify in the ‘Center Stage’ section of the Lounge where your fellow players will vote for their favorite article. Aside from the prestige and praise you’ll receive for your rhetorical brilliance, if you win you’ll also score a Hollywood Poker tournament ticket. It gets even better: Every week, one random voter will win Hollywood Poker gear. |

philosophical. It defines who you are. Can you pick yourself up when you’re low? Do you let the highs go to your head? For me personally, the way I play poker says a lot about who I am in life in general. |
