Kevin Smith on Full Tilt

#1 16th April 2009, 3:05 PM

My ex-wife subscribes to Kevin Smith's Twitter, and he sent this out the other day:

Quote:

I feel like playing some poker. Full Tilt, anybody? I play the six-handed sit&go's. Name's askewsme. Please don't identity-theft me.

Awesome!
I'll probably search him out. Not only would it be cool to play with him, it's +EV to play against him.

Who is he? lol

#3 16th April 2009, 3:24 PM

Producer/Director of Clerks series of movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back) as well as Clerks II and Zach and Miri make a Porno. He's done some acting also.

Hmm - never heard of any of that.

#6 16th April 2009, 3:38 PM

wow, he is disgustingly bad lol

i wonder if the regs who play with him know?

#7 16th April 2009, 3:44 PM

This is awesome, Clerks is amazing. Never knew he played poker. Very funny guy.

#8 16th April 2009, 3:55 PM

We just watched "An evening with Kevin Smith" which is some standup comedy of his at various colleges. He is one of the funniest story tellers I think I've ever heard. If you get a chance, check it out. If I get a chance, I'm checking out his SnGs!!!

How does anyone not know Kevin Smith? Do yourself a favor Dakota and rent Clerks (watch it with the kids since it's about a billion times raunchier than Family Guy). Clerks is without a doubt my favorite comedy. I've watched it countless times.

Looks like he does suck at poker though.

Chasing Amy and Dogma are WAY better, imo.

I love them all but Clerks will always be my favorite.

#12 16th April 2009, 5:48 PM

big kevin smith fan and i agree clerks is the funiest,specially when randall is talking about his cousin breaking his neck.

#13 16th April 2009, 6:09 PM

Yeah love this guy clerks 1 and 2 and his evening with series are my favorates, I used to read his blog he started with Ultimate Bet after Jason Mews (Jay to his silent bob) got him on to it.

Full tilt should advertise him playing there they probally get a few extra players!!

Wow didnt know he like to play poker. Kevin smith is one of my favorite directors. I would say for me personally he is up there with Quentin Tarantino as very creative and unique. Wow i would luv to play a sit n go with him. I will keep an eye out from now on to see if he is on. Thanks for the heads up. Also isnt is production company askew view production. Kinda cool how askewsme is his screen name.

#15 16th April 2009, 6:27 PM

Amazing - He is such a talented actor/director/producer. I see that talent helps him little at the tables.

Like many have already stated:

I would love to see him on the felt - both to say that I played him and to take his money...

Close. It's actually View Askew Productions.

I went to a talk he gave. He was booked for 90 minutes, and stayed something like 5 hours. Afterward he offered to buy-out a movie theater so we could wall watch the latest Afflek movie (Changing Lanes) and be free to yell and taunt and cheer without disturbing people who wanted to pay to see it.

I knew he plays poker, and has a custom poker table in his house. He also has a custom blackjack table.

Awesome story.

I think the point is they didn't want to see it. So story checks out.

I guess it could be worse. He could be pulling a John Daly and going to the $1,000 slots and losing everything. At least he's having some fun.

#21 17th April 2009, 12:07 AM

I loveeee Kevin Smith and his muse Mewes. Thanks for posting this.

#22 17th April 2009, 12:10 AM

This thread needs some balance/negativity. His movies are *pretty bad*, but its nice to see a famous donator at the midstakes instead of highstakes.

I saw on the news today that Kevin Smith was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight because he was too fat.

Evidently he had booked two seats on another flight, but he had to switch flights and there was only one seat available.
Then he was taken off the flight. How embarrassing.

#27 15th February 2010, 10:34 PM

Silent Bob gotten that big that he had to be removed from a plane? Wow! He should probably stop playing SitNGo's and hit the gym.

#28 15th February 2010, 10:50 PM

Yeah, apparently he usually buys 2 seats in order to be allowed to fly. They changed his flight and only had one seat available and was told he could not fly b/c he was too large, lol. He's totally flipping out about it on Twitter and his podcast.

#29 15th February 2010, 11:47 PM

Easy money to play against him that's for sure.. I wonder if he'll say some funny stuff in the chat.

#30 16th February 2010, 3:21 PM

Doesn't that mean it's just going to be a 5 man SnG?

#31 16th February 2010, 3:38 PM

The Detroit Lion HB from Virginia Tech?

#32 16th February 2010, 11:07 PM

I bet Silent Bob sounded alot like Jay after a few of those poker sessions! There was a few little spikes in that downward spiral on the graph. Guess just enough to think "sure you can win it back".

If they just advertised his name they'd get a few extra players... if they advertised his stats the tables would sink from the catch of fish flopping on to try and play with him, then play elsewhere with a 100+ person waitinglist.
