worm is playing hearts where the qs is the worth a shitton.

the thing I never got is this conversation:

"She's really got him by the balls"
"Is that so bad?"
"Depends on the grip"

What does that mean? In my experience, if she's got him by the balls, in any sort of grip, its bad touch. If they are just being tickled or licked or something, well then that's typically more of the good touch. But any 'gripping' is per se bad. Discuss.

The Judges Game:

The judges are all fish that Mike could easily beat. Mike calls their hands out at the end and bets $20 for Abe. They all fold. One guy even folds two pair.

WHAT FISH FOLDS TWO PAIR EVER???

You could show a fish a straight flush and he'd still call with two pair.

LOL, QFT.

I think the only unexplained things from that movie are:
1) WTF was Teddy KGB playing on the end/what did he think Mike had?

2) Why didn't Mike McD bang Famke Jansen's character [repeatedly]?

He is gay obv

The bit that I thought was strange was where Mike sits in the big game with jonny chan at atlantic city with 6k, just 10 BBs since it was 300/600. This makes no sense because:

- mike claims to sit tight for hours and not play a hand(hmm yeh with 10bbs)

-he has that ridiculous interchang pre flop with jonny chan. Mike opens, chan 3-bets, which woud have basically put mike all in, yet mike then somehow 4-bets, and chan folds....wtf.

yes, im being a nit

If Mike was waiting out the golf pro until he bluffed at the wrong pot, why did he try to bluff raise him on the river in the first place?

If Mike was such a regular, why was teddy acting like he wouldn't give him any chips because he forgot his $500 at home? Didn't seem like Teddy was all that worried about giving out loans and killing them later if they dont pay.

Why did Mike and Jo live in a $782131728 apartment in NYC. Who the hell was paying for that? Had to be Jo was rich. It sure wasn't Mike's. Then Jo moves out of her own place?

So then Jo moves out, but leaves the keys to her Jeep so Mike and Worm can bust down to AC? After he had to ask to borrow it to pick Worm up?

I never got the apartment bit, there's no way two law students could afford that apartment. the [censored] downpayment on that apartment would be > his 30k roll

god damnit this does not happen preflop, it happens on the flop. also bet amounts are only $300 so he has plenty.
