POKER WITH PAMMIE
Who's your fave poker opponent?
Empire Poker hit the headlines early this week with the results of a fun survey to which 42 percent of it's player responded.
The pneumatic Baywatch actress-model Pamela Anderson was selected by the majority of online poker players as the celebrity they would most like to play against.
"Our players clearly think Pamela Anderson isn't too bright or maybe they just want to ogle her," Ron Burke, the company's marketing manager, is reported to have commented rather cruelly to Miami.com.
With an ample margin Pamela left Dennis Rodman behind (the former basketball player collected just 24 percent of the vote). Enigmatic actor James Woods picked up a mere 13 percent, Dave Navarro was favoured by 10 percent, and skateboarder Tony Hawk and actor Matt Damon each drew 3 percent.
Entrepreneur Donald Trump was selected by 2 percent and 1 percent said Ben Affleck was their choice. Hank Azaria, Michael Ian Black, Ron Artest, Clay Aiken and Teri Hatcher picked up only a small number of votes.
"Many of our respondents also said they felt they could read Dennis Rodman's expressions and didn't think he would be very competitive. Only 1 percent of our players said they would want to play against Ben Affleck. Apparently, his poker skills precede him," said Burke.
However, when asked which celebrity poker player would be most likely to cheat at poker, 37 percent of those surveyed chose Affleck.
"Our players clearly see Ben Affleck and James Woods as no-nonsense, hardcore poker players and it's quite interesting that they would seem to be the most likely to cheat," said Burke.
