Casino Royale ** INLINE SPOILERS **

[gumpzilla]

I thought the poker was pretty laughable. I guess baccarat doesn't play well these days.

Also, I think Eva Green is the hottest Bond girl ever. Oh man I love her.

I loved this movie, not least because they finally got back to having a Bond that you can imagine beating your ass.

I loved the movie, one of the best of the year, and best in the Bond series.

As for the last hand: It was the CIA guy who had the flush and thought he was good, but with only 5 mil behind, dont think he can fold. The rest of the hands play themselves. BB was 1mil too.

Villian must have open-raised here. but he must have put in a small raise for bond to call getting some deep implied odds with the deep stacks. . I think blinds were 1mil/2mil? Bond has at least 40 mil behind as I recall at the end, and was the chip leader.

not to be a nit but if the blinds were 1/2mil and bond had ~40mil then calling any raise with 57s is a real bad play.

you don't have implied odds when playing 20BB deep, especally when you are the biggest stack.

Big blind was 1 million at the time, not 2. They raised the blinds earlier when Bond was short stacked and the dealer said "the big blind will be 1 million" which was 1 blue plaque. The reds were 500k. Scar eye tossed out a raise to 2 million "Make it 2" and the dealer passed him his small blind of 500k back just a bit before this.

RayT,

I'm pretty sure Villain had A6o not A8o.

100% correct, it was A6o.

Here is the hand from the movie in the PXF replayer. Does this look correct to you guys?

This thread has turned out pretty funny, but given the context of the forum we're on, fairly predictably.

I wonder if there's a forum somewhere for hitmen where they sit around critiquing how Bond kills people?

Question about something that doesn't make sense to me:
spoilers******


<font color="white">Vespar apparently made a deal with some group of badguys to steal the 120 mill for them in exchange for James. This happens while Bond is being tortured, presumably. So, after they are free from the torture, why not tell Bond? What incentive does she have to keep to her side of the bargain? They said something about someone being held hostage, but I couldn't really hear it too well.

Also, why kill herself? Bond wanted to save her, and she could have easily explained that she did it to save him/some guy that got kidnapped. This didn't seem realistic.
