The 45-year-old "Jason Bourne" star said he cannot compare himself to his longtime actor friend Affleck, 43, in terms of playing cards, reported Female First.



Damon said he learned poker when he was preparing to star in 1998 movie "Rounders", "They keep letting me back in here.

I'm not Ben Affleck good. Ben Affleck is not allowed to play, he got banned from all these places, I didn't.

I downloaded that card-counting app and then I didn't do it because Ben can't play blackjack in Vegas anymore. He's been disinvited," he said.

When asked about working with Affleck again Damon joked, "The problem there is that he just keeps giving himself the best roles, so until he stops doing that and maybe just directs, none of us can really work with him."
