I loved him the first time I saw him on t.v. and again when I saw him in person at Mammoth when I was only about 15 years old he stopped me dead in my tracks in a cafeteria line. He said Hello to me, I melted, and I didn't find out it was him for a few hours later a friend said she saw him and then I knew my feelings for him were really real. I think I heard he is married, to bad, so am I, for now...

what's with the lovefest with this goofball?????

Recipe for offensive & annoying commentary:14 uses of racial slurs8 cliche hand labels ("He's picked up the speed limit again!")

Howdy Vince, your looking as handsome as ever ;) Hope your thinking about letting me do that bio!! See you soon. Your other honey! ahaha

note to mike sexton: ditch the baggage!!!!

My Dad was in SPACEBALLS!

I loved it when Gus Hansen had 4-2 and he was considering raising it pre-flop, and mike is saying its a bad play etc. Vince replies "it's a big hand for Gus!" lol

You're all crazy. Vince Van Patten is amazing. He does INDEED make the WPT what it is, and he is a great poker player. He knows his stuff. And yes, he *is* a babe. He's great. <3 I enjoy him very much.

I agree lynds, he adds some colour to the commentary. I like his quirky observations here and there. Like one time a guy was wearing a dark jacket, hat and sunglasses and Vince was like "this guy looks like he's in the witness protection program!" and also this old trucker-looking amateur guy he kept saying "this guy looks like the sucker that everyone gets paid off of, but hes actually doing well". It's also funny when hes like saying "hes got the six eight off suite, mike. whats he gonna do?" Very descriptive hehe.

If they replaced him with Norman Chad the WPT would be alot more watchable. This guy is not entertaining at all.

He should be doing voice overs for Chevy or something.

Naw the perfect job for Van Patten is hosting one of those 30 minute infomercials at 3am. The product doesnt matter.

hey VVP for pres. the only reason more ppl watch WPT then WSOP is cause of Shana Haitt. and WSOP is better(well besides the Shana Haitt part) cause it is a bigger field and has BETTER ANOUNCERS. Van Patten is a horrible anouncer. all he knows about poker is the hand nicknames.

This guy loves his suited connectors. Even thought players fold em 95% of the time.

hes putting on his glove,now hes puttig on his other glove

I played in a Pokerstars $1 s/g tourney the other day and seated next to me was someone named VVPatten. Someone asked him if he was Vince Van Patten but he did not talk. Could this have been Vince?

haha malcolm the guys such an amateur hes playing $1 sng's LOL i'm guessing he went out in 8th or 9th position?

he is so hot!!!!!!!!omg I want him. Hes so cute :) XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX <3

Jennie, Ill talk to you all night about my goofy nicknames for hole cards, but I dont want any type of physical relationship with you because it takes me 4 hours to properly fix my hair and I wouldnt want to jeopardize having one strand of hair out of place; but Im sure youre a very lovely girl. Love Always, The handsome and debonair Vince Van Patten.

I am a PHIL HELLMUTH fan living in Nacogdoches, Texas (where the shuttle came down). I am also involved in a research project involving the hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system and evaluating names based on the A=10 (10=1+0=1), B=11 (11=1+1=2) ... E=14 (14=1+4=5) ...

LUCKY NO. 99, you can kiss your &quot;Wayne Gretzky&quot; mystique goodbye. Wayne Gretzky was #99 and was the best; and you, LUCKY NO. 99, were hexadecimal #99 and were the best. Right now, August 6, 2005, I am watching the Travel Channel &quot;World Poker Tour&quot;. What's up with the &quot;Phil Hellmuth, Jr.&quot;?

Allow me to use the hexadecimal KISS principle, which reduces the hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system to unit numbers: A=10 (10=1+0=1) ... E=14 (14=1+4=5) ...

[Wayne]+[Gretzky]
Wayne = [5+1(A=10=1+0=1) +7+5+5(E=14=1+4=5)] = 23 = 2+3 = 5
Gretzky = [7+9+5(E=14=1+4=5) +2+8+2+7] = 40 = 4+0 = 4
TOTAL = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
His Jersey was #99.

[Phil]+[Hellmuth]
Phil = [7+8+9+3] = 27 = 2+7 = 9
Hellmuth = [8+5(E=14=1+4=5) +3+3+4+3+2+8] = 36 = 3+6 = 9
TOTAL = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
FIRST NAME = 9
LAST NAME = 9.

&quot;The Man In Black&quot;
[Johnny]+[Cash]
Johnny = 1+6+8+5+5+7 = 32 = 3+2 = 5
Cash = 3(C=hexadecimal 12=1+2=3) +1(A=10=1+0=1) +1+8 = 13 = 1+3 = 4
TOTAL = 45 = 4+5 = 9.

[Tiger]+[Woods]
Tiger = 2+9+7+5+9 = 32 = 3+2 = 5
Woods = 5+6+6+4+1 = 22 = 2+2 = 4
TOTAL = 54 = 5+4 = 9.

[Phil]+[Hellmuth]+[Jr]
Phil = [7+8+9+3] = 27 = 2+7 = 9
Hellmuth = [8+5(E=14=1+4=5)+3+3+4+3+2+8] = 36 = 3+6 = 9
Jr = [1+9] = 10 = 1+0 + 1.
FIRST NAME = 9
LAST NAME = 9
JR = 1
TOTAL = 19

CHAOS = 3(C=hexadecimal 12=1+2=3) +8+1(A=10=1+0=1) +6+1 = 19

FAIL = 6+1+9+3 = 19

AMBUSH = 1(A=10=1+0=1) + 4+2(B=11=1+1=2) +3+1+8 = 19

SLAIN = 1+3+1+9+5 = 19

BURN = 2+3+9+5 = 19

BREAK = 2+9+5+1+2 = 19

TURN = 2+3+9+5 = 19

TWIST = 2+5+9+1+2 = 19

HELL = 8+5+3+3 = 19 (Thank God for the &quot;Muth&quot;!!)

GET RID OF THE &quot;JR&quot; and return to
PHIL HELLMUTH = 99
THE MAN IN BLACK.

Hello! Anybody getting a clue?

You need a girlfriend, dude. A real one. You do know that females exist, right?

yah ok u suck buddy and u look like an idiot, learn how to play poker and aybe u could talk about it better because u really suck

Mike Sexton can't carry this show, You gotta have Vince, and he can play. I think this forum sounds like a lot of 12-13 year olds. Hope I end up at a table with some of you, I like easy money.

I love it when he says remove all sharp objects from the players after they take a bad beat. This guy always makes me laugh.

A typical VVP quote "Oh look at this, what an incredible move! He's done it! He moves all in, over the top with pocket kings"

Yeah dude, what a great play. I mean not many people move all in with pocket kings or aces preflop LOL!

You're not the best announcer but I'd kill for your hair!
