Online poker players selected Pamela Anderson as the celebrity they would most like to play against

Pamela is welcome opponent, say poker players

Adorable actress-model Pamela Anderson was selected by majority of online poker players as the celebrity they would most like to play against. E-gambling operator EmpirePoker.com, which conducted the survey, reported that 42 percent of its website's respondents favoured Pamela as their opponent.

“Our players clearly think Pamela Anderson isn't too bright or maybe they just want to ogle her," Ron Burke, the company’s marketing manager, said to Miami.com.

With a large margin Pamela left Dennis Rodman behind since the former basketball player collected just 24 percent. Top tree star actor James Woods got 13 percent, Dave Navarro was picked by 10 percent, and skateboarder Tony Hawk and Matt Damon each drew 3 percent. Donald Trump was selected by 2 percent and 1 percent said Ben Affleck. Hank Azaria, Michael Ian Black, Ron Artest, Clay Aiken and Teri Hatcher also picked up votes.

"Many of our respondents also said they felt they could read Dennis Rodman's expressions and didn't think he would be very competitive. Only 1 percent of our players said they would want to play against Ben Affleck. Apparently, his poker skills precede him," said Burke in a statement this week.

However, when asked which celebrity poker player would be most likely to cheat at poker, 37 percent of those surveyed chose Affleck.

"Our players clearly see Ben Affleck and James Woods as no-nonsense, hardcore poker players and it's quite interesting that they would seem to be the most likely to cheat," said Burke.
