Quote: "They (poker players) have names like The Grinder or The Magician. Everybody has to have a name, otherwise you don't get the endorsement deals. So I have to come up with a name for myself because now I can't just be Jennifer 'The Boob' Tilly."
Poker fans about Jennifer Tilly: "Jennifer Tilly won a poker tournament. Big deal. She just got lucky. She knows absolutely nothing about poker."
"Tilly is actually a pretty good player. She is not great perhaps, but aggressive in mostly the right spots." "Is Jennifer Tilly a poker player to be feared or just plain lucky? I also wonder if her boyfriend Phil Laak has a tell on her. Once he shouted "Show the bluff" from the crowd after one of her successful bluffs."
