POKER INFO - PROILE - Phil Gordon

Phil was in D.C.?? I only live about 2 1/2 hrs from there!! I can't believe I was that close.... oh, how it breaks the heart.... Jbabz, I hope you had a great time!

Ok it seems like most of the posters here are simply congradulating phil in the hopes that they might one day meet up with him and talk poker. Give it a rest, he's a rich guy that plays poker on his budget which is higher than most of us. I think he's a smart guy and a well rounded poker player, but I too think he's not as good as some of these suckups on this site give him credit to be. I would like to see him go heads up against the poker superstars invitational crew... Howard, phil ivey, doyle.. etc.. So he knocked out Chris moneymaker... *sigh* I have no respect for Chris at all... But either way, I do enjoy watching Phil comment on celeb poker, it is the only reason why I catch a glimpse of that show occasionally... I mean what point is there to watch celeb poker if you're a serious poker player?.. It is no different than watching a group of chimps play cards (famous chimps).

Phil admires Roy Cooke? AKA Roy CROOK, and his Planet Poker site that rips people off? That doesn't even seem right. I respect Phil, but not as much if he admires ROY CROOK.

*clarifies PokerVertigo's statement... She is a "kiss-up", not a "suck-up"... BIG difference! LOL! I also believe there are far better poker players out there than Phil, but I also believe that no one makes poker more enjoyable for me to watch than Phil. As for meeting him and talking poker, there are people on this posting board that HAVE met Phil and talked poker, so, why not me? If God has the power to part the Red Sea (which no one can prove or disprove, so I tend to believe He did), then God has the power to make it so that I'd get the chance to meet Phil. PokerVertigo is right about one thing, though. I'd LOVE to see Phil go heads up against other poker superstars. As a matter of fact, a "battle-of-the-Phils" is what I'd like to see! Phil against Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak, Paul Phillips... I think there's another Phil out there, but I can't think of him right now.Just who is Roy Cooke, or Roy Crooke, as Wondering puts it?

phil is hairier than a mf. saw him in the first season wpt aruba on dvd playin volleyball. looked like sasquatch. LMFAO

anybody noticed how tall he is? He's 6'9''. But he isnt stuck up about any of his advantages like being so wealthy and tall , he comes across on tv as a quiet gentleman

After watching Phil on TV many times I had the extreme pleasure of meeting him at the Palms on April 9, 2005. I observed him the prior day during filming of the Bravo Celebrity Showdown and knew that I had to meet him. I'm so glad I had the courage to hold up my camera and ask for his picture as he was about to walk by. He set down the box he was carrying and came right over and posed with me. He is a genuinely nice man who is also very good looking. His shyness is endearing. His eyes are like windows to his soul, one look into them and I knew he was as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. He is NOT pretentious, arrogant, or conceited. Since meeting him I have been trying to learn as much about him as I possibly can. His many accomplishments, intelligence, commitment to charity work and desire for adventure all make him the very special man that he is. Thank you Mr. Mike Gordon (and your wife) for raising such a fine man. The world is truly a better place for having Phil in it. I would love to be the president of his fan club any day. Where do I sign up? Most sincerely, Carol Gina
