Wanna play poker with Lindsay, Britney, Paris or Sienna?
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007When it comes to celebrities, people conduct surveys on anything and everything, from which celebrity people would most like to date to which celebrity has the most desirable looks. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, a survey has now asked 12,000 online poker players which celebrity they’d most like to challenge in a must-win Texas Holdem poker tournament.
The site, poker.bodogbeat.com reveals that a whopping 46% of the players would most like to challenge Britney Spears because she’s always so drunk she wouldn’t be able to follow the game the “most easily beatable celebrity rival.” So, they just want to play Britney ’cause she’s a weak opponent (mind the umbrella antics of Miss. Spears, poker boys).
(Britney’s a good bet)
Lindsay Lohan made an appearance in the number two spot, with 21% of voters choosing to go head-to-head with her.

Lindsay was followed by fellow “poker-challenged celebrities”, Paris Hilton (with 15%) and Sienna Miller (with 7%).

Just how do the voters know that these celebrities are “poker-challenged” though? Here’s my theory: one of the golden rules in poker is to not let alcohol ruin your game because it makes you lose your inhibitions and bet recklessly. So maybe the online voters reckon that rich celebrities who party (and drink) recklessly are a safe bet if you want to win enough money to pay off your second mortgage in one night.
Or perhaps they’re just interested in having some eye candy to look at from across the poker table – after all, only pretty female celebrities were mentioned.
