Jennifer Tilly Returns to Poker
Sunday, 25 October 2009
Amply-chested actress-turned poker pro Jennifer Tilly has been absent from the felt for over a year, focusing on her acting career and giving up the game due to bad press from places such as Two Plus Two.
In an interview with PokerListings she said: "I did get very discouraged because lots of times you read online, people are saying all these horrible things about you, people who don't know anything about your game or your stats or anything," she said.
"I had to get my computer expert to break the link to Two Plus Two, because Two Plus Two is like crack. Those guys are really smart and funny and I would go there every day and laugh and laugh and laugh, until I saw something bad about me and I would feel really horrible."
However, Tilly is currently playing in the WPT Festa al Lago event and has already made the finals of the World Poker Open V eventually won by boyfriend Phil Laak. Despite Tilly’s bad reputation on forums, she’s always an entertaining welcome addition to the screens at televised tournaments.
