Spiderman actor is a nasty poker player

Spiderman actor Tobey Maguire is a nasty poker player, according to a new book.

American “Poker Princess”, who hosted high-stake underground games for celebrities, claims Spiderman actor Tobey Maguire is a nasty poker player.

The New York Post reported that in an excerpt from Molly Bloom’s new book (“Molly’s Game”) – which is published by Vanity Fair – Bloom said that Maguire once asked her to “bark like a seal who wants a fish” for a $1,000 chip.

She also claims that despite being a millionaire and the fact that he regularly won at poker, Maguire was also “the worst tipper”.

When Bloom refused to bark like a seal, Maguire said:

“I’m not kidding. What’s wrong? You’re too rich now? You won’t bark for a thousand dollars?”

It was said that Maguire became so demanding that he refused to play if the table wasn’t using a Shuffle Master device, which Maguire actually owned. Maguire asked for $200 a night in order for the table to use his machine, Bloom claims.

“He couldn’t possibly be serious about charging rent for a machine he insisted that we use, from the guys whose money he was taking every week. But he was as serious as death,” Bloom said.

Maguire, who has three lifetime cashes at the World Series of Poker, has long been known as an extremely strong hold’em player.

Two Little Fleas would not expect such behaviour from any players at a game of bingo. Indeed, readers, if Toby Maguire is spotted near your bingo hall, please remind him that it is a civilised game to play.
