Don't Fk with the Affleck!

eyesgottaknow 10-09-04 06:00 PM

is it true that you and Annie Duke are an item?

wentbeener 10-10-04 06:00 PM

this guy is a fool. terrible actor and terrible poker player. top pros say he's a great player but that's just because he gave them all of his money and autographed headshots.

what a fool 10-20-04 06:00 PM

the pros love this guy cause they take his money. i could beat him at poker im not even joking. he didnt even win that celebery poker showdown thing. what a noobie.

wizardofoz 10-23-04 06:00 PM

He just proves what me and my buddy have been saying for awhile now. The game of hold em does not take long to learn, the more tourneys you play in the better your chances are of winning. Once you acquire the skills, you can compete with ANYONE, as long as you can come up with the money to play as Affleck obviously can. Bottom line: quit idolizing these bozos on tv. They are not the superstars that people perceive them to be.

ben is a good poker player.what he proved in california meens that poker is anyone's game.i wish him all best and luck.

dathief 11-02-04 06:00 PM

im laffin at all this bs u guys r riting bout beniffer...leave the guy alone..if hes rich and wants to blow his money...let him...if he plays alot hes bound to win eventually...its for ego...he prolly dusn't have much game compared to the PROS but he'd prolly wip alot of u fricken losers!

chips 11-05-04 06:00 PM

ok lets put it this way.hes not very good yes he won a tourny but he wouldnt be able to do that if he didnt make all his money from acting.bc hes not good enough to start broke and build his way up.he started not to long ago.so i think he will get better and win a tourny or to more if he sticks with it.GOOD LUCK TO YA BEN

Marina 11-12-04 06:00 PM

Hey, did any of you watch the World Series of Poker the other night? Annie Duke was talking about how she taught Ben to play. She mentioned that when she met Ben, he didn't know how to play worth anything, but now she is saying Ben Affleck is world-class. Could be that she was his teacher, I don't know for sure. All I know is that if Annie Duke says Ben is a good player, then he is.

nikunj 11-12-04 06:00 PM

You guys are dumb Ben Affleck is a multi millionare. He is very successful at being an actor. He went to a ivy league college with his best friend matt damon. He is also a sucessful screen writer. He actually made it to hollywood with his movie good will hunting whuch he actually wrote. How many of you guys have even a million dollars or even 10 thouasand dollars. If i were you make fun of people that are not sucessful. Ben Affleck has money now and wants to enjoy his life. He likes poker and plays poker for fun on his spare time. Let him do whatever you want. I dont think he cares about losing money or not. Once in vegas he won a 100 thousand dollars at just a regular table poker game and gave the money away to casino workers as tips.Charles Barkley sucks at golf, but he still plays it for fun. Dude once again he is a millionaire. If you say hes stupid then you can say Bill gates is stupid for not selling microsft before the dot.com or technology collapse. Leave the guy alone. I met him once when i was flying to Seattle on business. He was waiting where i was waiting is the first class section.

Affleck.B 11-15-04 06:00 PM

I love this..This is great....I didnt know I was so popular...Happy Poker!!! And by the way, the last post is for real....Nikunj is a very nice guy...

Affleck.B 11-15-04 06:00 PM

By the way, my IP address in these post is IAH, Bush Airport in Houston...Happy POker!!

slvsc2 11-16-04 06:00 PM

Smart man, that Ben. Got away from Jennifer ("Taco flavored kisses") Lopez and managed to find a new career. He'd be batting .1000 this year if he didn't have a hard-on for John Kerry. He won a big tournament so he's good I guess. Time will tell. If he gets himself involved with anymore cinematic bombs we may learn sooner than we thought since poker will be about all he can fall back on.

nikunj 11-18-04 06:00 PM

hey ben if it is really you? what casino did you win the 100k and give it away?

djnpa_30 11-25-04 06:00 PM

ben won a high stakes tourney..most of you guys play for play money and routinely get busted..until yiu have the stones to put your money in the middle against a real pro your b.s. opinions mean nothing...

PokerVertigo 11-27-04 06:00 PM

Well, I really dislike Ben Affleck, not only because of his ego and routine smugness, but also due to the fact that I genuinly believe he is the worst actor next to Steven Segal. Now with that out of the way, winning one of these $10000 buyin tourneys isn't a piece of cake, but isn't a stroke of poker genius either. Annie's coaching most likely helped Ben understand how to not play retarded all the time, but Ben's not a pro yet. If Ben can consistently play these tourneys and come in at a decent placing, then I'll give him credit for being an above average poker player. Currently, he's just an average poker player that ended up winning a 90 player tournament at the commerce casino.~PV

djnpa_30 11-28-04 06:00 PM

funny how guys can knock a 90 player tourney that paid REAL CASH and not internet play money...i gurantee 99% of the ppl that post inn here have never entered a real tourney outside the internet..until you do that how can you knock a guy that not only entered one but one it..i dislike this guy as well, hes a hack as an actor and hes a ego maniac , that being said he deserves a little cred ..he has done more in poker than most of the losers that come in here

Chad 12-07-04 06:00 PM

I wish I had the money to play in the big tourneys like he does. I'm not that bad, 9 times out of 10 I go in with the best hand from the start and lose. I'm not bsing when I say that. Ben is an excellent player. You guys just say that he sucks at poker because he sucks at acting.

hahahaha 12-14-04 06:00 PM

everyone hates on this guy... prolly just jealous or insecure. he's on tv & big screens & shit, he got little poker credentials, but he does have them. he can do whatever the F he wants, he got money, he had some JLo ass, yall dont. haha....

Ben Affleck 12-19-04 06:00 PM

Im a good poker player,really.Its as good as my acting.

Unregistered 12-20-04 06:00 PM

well then you are the next ungar...whoops forgot sarcasm doesnt realter good over the net

croseclr 01-09-05 06:00 PM

This is funny. Reminds me of Jay and Silent Bob and moviepoopshoot.com. Don't say all the movies are bad.

Unregistered 01-12-05 06:00 PM

Affleck, you were da bomb in Phantoms!

Adam S - ACSCashMoney 01-16-05 06:00 PM

From what I've seen on this site, all it is is posting degrading people who have accomplished way more than the people writing about them. To DJNPA 30, you hit the nail on the head, most of the fools writing here are teenagers who have yet to play outside of the safety of the internet. The odds are good that no one here anytime soon will win 350K plus playing in a tournament, nor beat out 100 some odd players including Amir Vahedi and Stan Goldstein. There is no such thing as a player getting great cards or getting lucky for days at a time. To beat out a full field in a MTT, you have to possess skill. Give the man his props, he won, and deserves credit. To the fools posting degrading commentary, at least try and grow up and write sophisticated comments please. Spelling and correct grammar would help, including but not limited to typing "should" when you meant to say "showed". (Good job John from Sep 29th post.)

hater 01-21-05 06:00 PM

Two bit, washed up, can't act to save my life geek.

janicecalif 01-27-05 06:00 PM

Have had the pleasure of meeting Ben at WPT tournaments; he's not only a nice guy, but a good player too.

iveyfan05 01-28-05 06:00 PM

ben won about 40 k in the last weel playing holdem with josh arieh ,david willams,and eric lindgren...his handle is tryangle...pretty funny to watch the table the players were naming all of ben flop movies as they were playing...hes a pretty good player guy,,ask the pros

iveyfan05 01-29-05 06:00 PM

well i saw diffrent with my own eyes...i gotta admit i was a bit skeptical..but him winning a tourney in cali and watching him play at fulltilt...im convinced,,this guy is a pretty good player

Vegas Mike 02-15-05 06:00 PM

Better Poker player than actor. Better hockey player than actor. Better bowler than actor. Better religious figure than actor. Better artist than actor. Better _____ than actor.

Ben Affleck 02-18-05 06:00 PM

As far as acting skills go, I am ranked behind only Lorenzo Lame Ass (Lamas) and about 1,827 others.

RLB2205 02-24-05 06:00 PM

Thank God, nobody knows who I am, so I can play like a bitch whitout reading about my self at a "RLB-Forum" on the internet..... Nevermind.. Allin..!!

Ben Affleck 02-28-05 06:00 PM

Its true.... all of what you guys have said so far ( only the negative things ) are true... I am a shmuck that can't act and I am gay, plus I only won that tourney on the basis that I'm a lucky punk. Nevertheless... I still won!

dawnydoo 03-09-05 06:00 PM

best thing you ever did was drop j=lo sad cownever seen you play but have you ever played phil gordon?he's great and sexy

slick<speedway17 03-10-05 06:00 PM

I love the game! More people being involved will only help the game to continue to grow!! A celebrity that isn't above playing out in real world shows a lot of courage! Good luck in April!!

sammy the brick 03-22-05 06:00 PM

I am jealous. I can't get Ben in my dreams, for some reason I keep ending up cornholing Richard Simmons. Maybe I need professional help.

Jetsfan315 03-31-05 06:00 PM

i heard gili was the worst movie in the history of entertainment

millions 04-02-05 06:00 PM

This loser has more money than all the poker players combined. he gets to a table and gets his ass spanked. Too bad i cant be the one spanking it if you know what i mean.

ben rep cambridge kid 04-09-05 06:00 PM

im from cambridge mass like ben and i know him pretty well his moms a teacher at a public grammar school and she is very nice. ben is a great guy, he comes in and helps his mom and hes a semi good poker player (i asked him once if he wanted to play heads up for $10. he declined) so quit hatin on him just cuz hes no phil ivey at the table and no denzel washington on the big screen. keep doin wat u do ben!!

Ben Affleck 04-10-05 06:00 PM

Ok Everyone, Play Time Is Over. Yalk All You Want It Doesn't Bother Me. Got One Question For You. Who Wants A Free Seat In The 2005 Wsop? I Am Playing And You Might Also. Tell Me Why I Should Give You The Money In 50 Words Or Less. Be Back April 17th To Pick The Winner. Good Luck, Ben
