In this week’s celebrity poker watch we start with Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds. After tying the knot with the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively, one would imagine that luck and Reynolds get along well, but according to recent press reports it’s not luck that makes him so fearsome at the poker table.

It’s because he’s crap.

Reynolds was speaking to reporters about his research into his latest movie: Mississippi Grind – a gambling movie that follows a pair of gamblers as they cut a route through the South on their way to a legendary poker game in New Orleans.

Both Reynolds and co-star Ben Mendelsohn journeyed deep into the heart of the South where they got involved in a series of poker games whilst researching their roles.
