Ouch! Kate Hudson's Bro Gets Beat Bad at Poker

December 29th 2006 03:26
Goldie Hawn's other child, Oliver Hudson, may be licking his wounds for awhile after this blind-side beating:




Looks obviously run in this famous family as Ollie was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 2002.

Hey, who needs to know how to play poker if you're that pretty?

The pokerproblog here has that clip too. It isn't bad poker, just reallly, really bad luck. There are plenty of professional poker players who probably would have gone broke on that hand in Oliver Hudson's position.

Hi D.S.,

I just don't think you should go all in on your first hand exactly because of bad luck situations like in the clip.

My comment about Hudson not being able to play was merely me being facetious. In fact, I do see this more a situation of bad luck rather than lack of skill.

I should check out pokerpro site, I didn't realize he has this clip already

hey, I didn't miss your sonnet on Catcher in the Rye, did I?

Thanks!

Peg

I haven't written a catcher in the rye sonnet yet, so no you haven't missed it.

The post in the pokerproblog is one of the first ones

You do have a point about early in the tournament - especially since he was up against an elite player. However, the temptation to try to knock out Farha with one of the best possible hands must be hard to resist.

A stronger bet pre-flop might have gotten Sammy to fold, but maybe not. I just know that I would've had a lot of trouble folding with that hand. Maybe that means that I need to get better.
