Full house of celebrities to compete in Bravo poker show
Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Are Matthew Perry and Martin Sheen bluffing?
Sheen

They are actors, after all. TV viewers will see their abilities tested in a different way when they participate in a new Bravo series Celebrity Poker Showdown.

The six-episode series will air sometime this winter, the cable network said Wednesday. Other participants include Coolio, Jack Black, Hank Azaria, David Schwimmer and about half the cast of The West Wing, including Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, John Spencer and Richard Schiff.

Five different celebrities will compete each week, in a winner-take-all game of No Limit Texas Hold 'em.

I wouldn't bet against Jack Black. I can see how his crazy personality would be well suited to NL hold'em.

BAM I going to hang myself.

I can't believe Hollywood caught on to our beloved game and is attempting to kill it with celebs. What's next?
Everyone Bluffs Raymond
Kings and Queens in Queens
Survivor - Binions
Big Blind for the Straight Guy
7th Street Heaven

Any others?

All of those posts were funny, but theres another side. The publicity that poker is getting is priceless.3 pages in SI--is poker a sporrt? i dunno-who cares?
Articles in Time and People. Multi Millionaire Mr, Moneymaker. Do you think this helped the Bycycle Club's Lagends of Poker get over 300 entries when a couple of years ago they were dying with 35 entries? Do you think the publicity has had anything to do with Party Poker going from 2, 000 players to 17,000?
"our beloved game " is exploding into the mainstream to the benefit of poker players everywhere. Cheer dont jeer--fuel the boom--Gary

Does Coolio show up on every "celebrity"-oriented reality show?

I looked for info on this on the bravo site but couldn't find it. Did anyone else get it? This looks like it should be interesting!

Played with Phil Gordon the other night on UB and he was talking about being on the show. He seemed pretty fired up about it.

Who knows?
