The best poker game of all time

**Exo** · 12-12-2012, 11:39 PM

We were kicking around this subject in the shoutbox earlier. Who would you have sit at you table to make it the best poker game of all time? You can have dead people if you want, I'll allow that. There is no minimum or maximum but keep in mind that this is a poker game. 12 would be too many and 2 would be too little. Who would you want at your table?

Tom Waits - The man doesn't drink anymore but my god would he be the mouth of the table.

Bill Murray - I shouldn't have to explain this one.

Anthony Bourdain - What a sarcastic bastard. I love him. He'd drink me under the table.

Werner Herzog - That guy is so ****ing interesting. The stories about Klaus Kinski alone would delay the game for hours.

I'm keeping it a tight group. This poker game would be my dream.

I think I'd replace Herzog with John Lurie, if anybody can ever find him.

Gus Hansen - Just because I want to play this guy in poker to see if I could beat him. He'd always keep the game interesting with his style of play.

Norm Macdonald - Funniest guy alive, would be telling funny stories all night, a real guy's guy that would be cool to hang out with, and is already heavily involved in poker/gambling.

Charles Barkley - The loudmouth of the table. Funny guy, and would be easy money as well due to the gambling problems.

Keanu Reaves - Something tells me he wouldn't be able to bluff for ****.

Alexander the Great - So predictable. The guy would feel the need to keep going all-in, even if he drew a 2-7 offsuit, and fizzle out early.

That's a good list there, and here's the cherry on top, Iggy Pop as the dealer.

Jesus Christ, of course.

But really,
Bob Dylan - preferably when he was young and hopped up on amphetamines.
Hunter S. Thompson - of course the game would be followed by some hard liquor and guns.
Chris Farley - Can't leave out a true party animal.
Bill Hicks - love his smart ass sense of humor.

That all I can think of at the moment.
