Next week’s topic: Tales On-Tilt. Face it, we’ve all been there. Tell us about your experiences from the edge!
This week's submissions:
Entry #1:
Hello, my name is Brian. I am an aspiring actor/writer. I live in a small town and am self-employed as a massage the****** as well.
My Dream Table:
My Dream Table? Great question. Breakdown to two Dream tables.
One that would always be an honor to me would be playing at the same table as my actor/actress idols.
To name a few, HERE WE GO:
Out of actors it would have to be John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler, Sean Connery, Jimmy Fallon, Verne Troyer (met a few times), Mike Myers, Val Kilmer, and Sylvester Stallone, with of course George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and the
HORROR KING Wes Craven.
The women – just thinking of how beautiful and talented they are makes my noggin go like a dryer. OK, OK, I know it sounds bad but I have to go with Michelle Pfeiffer. I remember Grease 2 and she was my dream woman when I was younger.
My next pick would be a pair: My heart as all of ours goes out to Elizabeth from wrestling and Macho-man "Randy Savage" who is a hero and which I can imitate his voice pretty dam good. (TEST ME! OH YEAH). We all miss you Randy and of course, the lovely Elizabeth.
Meg Ryan would be cool to meet, Tara Reid, Sandra Bullock, Neve Campbell, along with any others that would love to have a visit.
WAIT, WAIT - I have an idea.
This is what should happen, in my opinion.
Being an aspiring actor/writer, HOLLYWOOD POKER should have THE FIRST EVER FREEROLL for aspiring actors/writers, etc.
These are well-thought of plans. One way is to have 3 chances at a freeroll tourney to get in the top whatever. If made, in the three chances, a ticket is then given to enter the 1st ever ASPIRING ENTERTAINERS LEAGUE. The League tourneys will keep track throughout 3 to 4 months starting in September. The prizes could go up to whatever is decided, with the winner getting a trophy for the League Championship and money. SOUNDS GREAT! WHO - what happened? I had an exciting dream or did I? Wait I'm not the writer. Oh sorry. Good idea though.
Aspiring Entertainers League? POLL?
We need some luck. Poker is the game. Poker is the most up and coming game around now. Let’s play. Give us all a chance. We deserve it. Don't we?
Well you decide. You vote.
Thanks for your time Hollywood Poker! Keep up your excellent work and thanks for taking all of our responses.
One day could be the day where we all meet and MY DREAM TABLE could come true.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
There are my plans to you from a self employed aspiring actor/writer who likes ideas.

Entry #2
My dream table would be the final table at the WSOP, of course.
Seat #1: Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson. (Way to play that 10-2 Dolly. You do know that it’s more than 10 to 2 against you of winning that hand don't you?)
Seat #2: Thomas Austin Preston. "Huh?", "Who's that?" He's better know as Amarillo Slim and an old running partner of Doyle.
Seat #3: "Treetop" Strauss - another old running partner of Doyle and Amarillo Slim. He has cashed in his chips now but who knows, he came back with a chip and a chair and won a WSOP event way back when. By the way, that’s where the saying came from.
Seat #4: Phil "The Brat" Hellmuth - just because I’d like to see him cry.
Seat #5: Phil "Poison" Ivey. "Doesn't he play golf?"
Seat #6: Jennifer Harman Traniello, because she’s so nice. She actually talked to me once on-line.
Seat #7: Howard "The Professor" Lederer. "Hey Professor", "try this, take a number between 1 and 10, multiply that number by 9, multiply that number by12345679."
Seat #8: Annie Duke. Howard’s sis, who whipped his butt once and can again.
Seat #9: Vince "The Man" Van Patten. It's a very short walk back to the booth Vince.
Seat # 10: Chip "Joan" Jett, because that’s my name too. Of course, my nick is "Chip". "Now why would you let them nickname you Joan?" Joan Jett is a country singer born here in Alabama who claims to be Hank Williams daughter. Hank Williams Jr. disputes that claim. I don't know Hank. You know how we is: From eight to eighty, blind, cripple or crazy, crawling on their bellies like reptiles, we don't care.
"Oh wait", "where am I going to sit?"
I'm the dealer of course.
As we say down here in Alabama, "Y'all take care now, you here"
Stanley "Chip" Jett
Entry #3
My Dream Table Rap
It's 11pm. And the lights are dim, I'm sitting in my chair hoping to win.
I've got Woods on my Left and Patten on my right and a coffee in my hand
because it will be a long night. Cards are flying and the tables playing tight I'm thinking about going ALL IN I really just might.
I've got jokers and clowns, but cant see smiles or frowns its me versus them and I'm about to take them down.
A dream table some could say You need to be up against the best when it's time to play. Woods is stacked high but I'm standing by with my wired 9's its about time I make this game mine, re-raised him high he called me all in and I said BYE he showed AQ but 52% I was in the lead but the flop came with Aces and Queens I was getting scared but it wasn't done, I was holding until 5th street would come. It showed me a 9 and I felt fine because it was finally my time to SHINE!
