Brad Pitt is well known for many things: his success as an actor, his success in landing Jennifer Aniston as wife, his divorce with said wife, his acquisition of new beau Angelina Jolie, and subsequent adoption of a handful of children with his fellow actor.

So what, you may ask, does Brad Pitt have to do with poker?



A very good question, but you don't have to look far for an answer - just watch Ocean's Eleven and you will be witness to one of the funniest poker games in any movie. And it seems during the making of the film that Mr Clooney and Mr Pitt regularly played strip poker in the comfort of the Bellagio.

Brad also took part in the recent charity poker event at the Rio All Suite Hotel located in Las Vegas together with his co-artists like George Clooney, James Woods, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Tilly and lot more.

It was in 'Ocean's Eleven' and its sequels, 'Ocean's Twelve' and 'Ocean's Thirteen,' that we saw Pitt playing poker for the first time. In 'Ocean's Eleven,' the character played by Brad Pitt meets his friend Danny Ocean, portrayed by George Clooney, when Pitt is teaching others how to play poker.

In the latest news, wickedchadspoker.com that Brad Pitt likes poker more than his adopted kids. One thing we tell our current/first wives over and over again is this: no one should stop kids from playing poker and no kid should stop us from playing poker so if you want to have kids with us then keep this in mind now I'm off to play poker see you on Monday.

Bad Pitt is busy acting and has an exclusive on-set poker lounge at his disposal and he still opts to bring his kids to work. But of course "bringing the kids to work" is merely Hollywoodspeak for "dropping the kids off at the daycare at work to play with everyone elses' adopted kids from third world countries," and in Brad's case, all while you are busy acting and playing poker in your exclusive on-set poker lounge inspired by Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.
