It's in nine parts but it's very moving and worth taking the time to read:

Yeah, I don't much care for his movies -- I've seen a couple on TV. Entertaining enough, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see them. But I remember reading these blog entries as he was writing them and thinking 'what a f-ing mensch this guy is'.

Jason Mewes was the one who got Kevin Smith into online poker, before that he only used to play live.

I read his book "My Boring Ass Life" (a compilation of blogs) a couple of months ago, and it mentioned poker quite a bit.
Back then he used to play on UB, so he must have wised up a little in the meantime. (He is/was friendly with Annie Duke so he would give her cash to transfer chips to his account).

I guess being good at making films makes up for his lack of skills on the felt..

<3 Kevin Smith. Also his evening with series is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Last one was clearly not as good but still funny

I'd definitely say something's wrong with a person who doesn't appreciate Clerks. It's brains or age deficiency.

I could care less if people think Kevin Smith movies are "art"... Only thing that matters it they are consistently funny, well maybe not Jersey Girl, but mostly funny...

The dude may lose at poker, but he has absolutely won at life.

I thought Clerks was the pick of the bunch as far as his films go, superb.

Smith seems like a really cool and great guy. Clerks is a great movie, but I can't say that about the rest of his movies I've seen.

You liked Dogma?

Dear lord....

Good taste in avatars though.

Good movies but he is a total d-bag. Which, I suppose, makes one an above average director.

I've heard it said... something to the effect that Clerks is an unoriginal student-y bite of Richard Linklater's Slacker.

I haven't personally seen the latter though.
