Words from Vince Van Patten, WPT Host & Commentator


I've been playing poker almost my whole life, and it takes a long time to get a hold of your game. The key is to go at your own pace. It's your money, so it's important to make sure you're comfortable with your skill.

Player Spotlight: Meet Chandra77!

Hi my name is Chandra. I'm currently living in the state of Georgia, but I was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. I just started playing poker only about 5-6 months ago. At first I only played for fun because quite frankly,  none of the sites grabbed my attention - that is until a couple of weeks ago. I stumbled across Hollywood Poker and finally made my very first deposit. I have to say that I look forward to playing poker here at Hollywood Poker. I can't see me playing anywhere else.
Keep an eye out for me - I'll be the one who's holding the winning cash.
