It's being called one of the greatest hands in the history of poker, and the ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' star Kevin Hart is the main character in this awesome poker play.
Last week, Hart decided to choose Hollywood instead of the Bahamas to compete in the brand new PokerStars Championship Cash Challenge Series. In there, he played in what Daniel Negreanu described as "the greatest tele[...] Read more » Kevin Hart wins €40K Pot, Returns €15K to Opponent out of Pity
Both of them had pretty $hitty starting hands, only Kevin's would have been good for a flush but thats pretty much it. I mean I get it, this kinda bluffing is pretty standard on tournaments like this, but this play is not something worth 2 follow.
That's what you can do when you are very rich and you are one of the most hilarious actor in the world lol, I like Kevin a lot but not as a poker player and as mentioned above his play is not recommended to follow.

I just watched that video. A crazy one. Did he actually misread his cards? But no matter what it was a nice gesture of him, giving that money. There is no need to mention also, that from all the players on the table, he was the most rich one

I do not know what the buy in had this game or this hand, but poker is poker. Bluffing is normal even if it was a very strange hand. Kevin hart is a comedian actor and does not give too much importance to poker, although he has learned a lot about this game, i think.

Kevin Hart is a very likable guy. Kevin showed the utmost respect for other players at the table. That kind of behavior will certainly help maintain good relationships with them. Mutual respect is a pattern of behavior often found in healthy social relationships.

The guy has already a better 'poker' reputation than Ben Affleck or Toby Maguire for sure.

Yeah, Kevin Hart is probably not another smug, arrogant celebrity who thinks s/he could buy anything s/he wants. There aren't many genuinely caring individuals like him in the world we live in today.
