Jive, you're just scared of being beaten by the man.
Cheer up kid.

You never folded KK preflop..lol...this is why I think internet guys have big advantage over live guys. They play more hands, see more situations and etc.

I hate to be so unoriginal but the best poker movie, IMO is Rounders...it's one of the only ones that is at all legitimate.

Shade has some sick card tricks at the beginning, but it's possibly the most disgusting portrayal of the poker world I've ever seen.

I liked Worm at lot. The Russian guy (Malkavich) was kind of over-the-top but fun. Beyond that, it was a big yawn.

Yes I never said it was a fantastic movie, certainly not one of my favorite movies but poker movies, as you pointed out, tend to be fairly crappy.

You're right. I think I go take a break in the sack with the dealer's wife.

Knowing the way poker players who are down on their luck think Barry is only going to take it that you are trying to lure him back into the game [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So you base everything off of tuchmans poker career? He's said hes never run into a situation where hes felt the need to fold pocket kings, IE he could do it if he felt it was neccessary or the situation called for it...

has anyone seen shade with sly stallone? fabulous movie if I do say so myself. possibly the worst poker movie ever

Why bother giving all those players suited diamonds if you're not going to put a couple of diamonds on the flop?

Live poker needs more rigging.

And actually if you read around on the SSNL forum in the "the Well" Q&A sessions I believe Aba said that there are very few people he would fold KK to preflop in the big games, it could have been someone else in The Well but I am pretty sure even online it's not as common as you make it seem boondoggle.
