You have the chance to sit down whenever wherever to play poker with any 5 people in the world past and present. Firstly list the five and after give valid reasons as to why they are there. This is one of the debates I have with friends in the pub (who is best who is not etc), it is very difficult as I constantly change my mind. Good luck and I hope you enjoy.

Here are my 5

1: Robert Deniro = Hero
2: Al-Pucino = Wise ass
3: Whoopi Goldberg = One of the Lads but a touch of femininity to the table (without eyebrows).
4: Robin Williams = Dont have to say anything Legend
5: Samual L Jackson = A touch of cool (Shaft). Plus we would go on the pull later.

Saying that these may change again.

Reason : I just think they would all get on with each other, they would make me cry with laughter and provide some of the coolest stories ever. I also reckon the game would last a few days. I would win all of there money and retire early like some.

Well. . .very nice pick if i do say so myself. . .

mine would be: 1: Angelina Jolie. . .obvious
2::Dane Cook- funny comedian
3: Billie Joe from Green Day: cool guy, good music.
4: Jim Carrey: self explanatory
5: Bono from U2- great guy

just a bunch of cool people i would like to win money from.

How about: Jesus Christ; Buddha: Confuscious; Shakespeare; and Ghengis Khan. Should make for some interesting conversation...

Hum...........

1.)Robin WIlliams-I love comedians
2.)Jim Carey-I love comedians
3.)Ryan Stiles-I love commedians
4.)Drew Carrey-I love commedians
5.)Tom Welling-Because he's a total hottie, (lol)

Samatar if you had all those people. . .you would automatically lose cuz Jesus is playing. . .

Yeah, deffinately, you'd loose unless Jesus let u win, man..................lol

They could prabably all beat me... I don't know how to play... but as I said, the conversation would be interesting...

It ceratinly would! lol

I would have 5 people who couldnt play very well.. that way i would win... MOAHHHHAHAHAH

Me, and 5 mirrors stood up around the table. that would make for the best company in the world

*dies of laughter*

Angelina Jolie (so I can charge guys to see her, and thereby have funds for playing poker)
Rebecca Romign (sp?) another way to make money
Charlize Theron (see above reasons)
Tyra Banks (again see above reasons)
Kimcande (she and I could psych out the other girls, and win)

It would be a ladies poker night, with a bunch of guys pounding at the door holding a lot of Benjemins, just to watch us play. I wouldn't have to put in my own money, and I could win!!!

Wait, is this strip poker?? I wanna change my five!!!!

Maybe, Maybe not...depends on how much you are willing to pay me to sit in and observe our poker night...
Capitalism at its best. I need to fund my poker play somehow...all my poker buddies are incredibly rich.

1. Bush
2. The Pope
3. Sadam
4. Teddy Roosevelt
5. Abraham Lincoln

I'd like to see who has the best poker face.

Alternative.

1. Plato = Philosphy
2. God = Why?
3. Zeus = Greek perspective
4. Michaelangelo = Fibonacci sequence
4. The Dalai Lama = The world @ peace and so he can check with God whether he will be re-incarnated?

Just to try and get to the bottom of things.

I thought about the Dali Lama, But i did not think je would be able to bluff that well!

Nope but shinning goodness would distract all others.

You must be kidding ... whether it was a royal straight flush or an absolute dead hand, the Dali's face would remain fixed and smiling ... completely at one with his hand, good or bad ... man, that dude would take your shirt after all of your money!

'K, my list ... figured we would get to this one sooner or later ... well, two sets of people actually, the poker crew from Star Trek:The Next Generation ... and, here goes ...

Hitler.
Robert F. Kennedy.
Winston Churchhill.
Mao Tse Tung.
Mahatma Ghandi.
Pierre E. Trudeau. (Canada representin' .)

Or, pick the most influential political leaders in your mind ... would be an interesting game ... who do you think would possibly cheat? ... yes, who would have the best poker face? ... and so forth.

I, too, reserve the right to revise my list ... next, the intellects ... Einstein, Stephen Hawkings, ...

While meeting and talkin with great people in history, I still say my girls night would work best. I'd win on other peoples money while making friends with A-List Women who can take me to the best "functions" and then I can eat exotic and weird foods while sticking my pinky out and saying things like "Dahhhh-ling"

"Oh Behaaaaveeee. I haven't seen you since yesterday, how the devil aaarrreeeee yooouuuu"?
Yep I can imagine that being a bit of a culture shock. Feign interest and make a mint.

1. Phil
2. Prism
3. Kim
4. Jenn
5. Lady Rhea

Nikoli, THAT is a nice line up...

But...

Are you kidding...Phil would win all the money, he'd have us laughing so bad that we wouldn't pay attention to our play!!! No offense Phil, but I can't have you playing poker AGAINST me...now on a team, I'd take you any day...so I could win.

I'd kick your ass.

I am very competitive and I would want to win at least some games. But with that crowd and Nick making me a great drink and Jenn bringing snacks from Trader Joes or Mothers, it would be fun. Jenn could dance on the table top when the games are over.

Better put the tap shoes on then.

** checks down the back of the sofa to boost his stake, loads the car with a case of Stoli, a carton of Marlboro's and a box of Godiva's for Kim and heads off to the game **

Ok so here are my 5....

1. Prince...(I want his purple guitar maybe he'll bet it ;)
2. Prince William ( He's hot and another prince at the table LOL..I would love to meet him)
3. Ricky Martin..LOL (I love his personality..and his smile...he's always so happy)
4. Lucy Lui (she would have my back and we all know she's hot!)
5. Ellen Degeneres (she is so awesome...always makes me laugh)

I know it's a wide range and difference..but that's the beauty of it right?
=)

well at least Ricky and Ellen would have something to talk about, Lucy would probably eat the (increasingley) goofy looking heir to the throne alive and Prince would, well, would just be Prince I guess.

LOL @ phil

1) Stephen Hawking
2) Clive Barker
3) Boonie Greer (just so we could all spit on her at regular intervals)
4) David Attenborough

&

5) Henry Rollins

Good call, why?

probably because it would be the most interesting mixed bag of conversations i could think of. the spitting at Bonnie Greer is purely for the collective amusement and because she deserves it :-)

1)Bert McCracken (because i love the used!)
2)Johnny Depp (cause he just plain rocks)
3)Spider Man (haha)
4)The dude out of the notebook whose name escapes me
5)The dude outta Journey

so a table of dudes then?

** ponders the conversation level on the shallow meter.... **

:-)
