I've been reading over most of these comments, and it seems to me that all the comments bashing Mr. Affleck don't give any real reason behind each comments' hostilities towards him. "Ben sucks at poker"... "Affleck's a fish"..."Matt Damon is better"... None of you give any cold hard facts nor have a real basis to back up your negative thoughts. While you're entitled to your opinions, keep in mind that there will always be better or worse players than Mr. Affleck, who by the way was good enough to win the California State Poker Championship, as stated by A. Jackson. Phil Gordon I believe has said that Mr. Affleck is a decent player, and, if Annie Duke has taken the time to teach Mr. Affleck how to play "real" poker, then she must see something good in him. Why can't most of you? I don't see or hear of any of you winning any state poker competitions let alone anything else.
