What was that movie with the guy from tilt. That was by far the worst poker movie. [/ QUOTE ] You're talking about "All In" and yes, that was one of the worst movies (poker related or not) ever made or ever will be made.

Re: Holdem Movie coming out called \"DEAL\"
Honestly, I don't understand why someone willing to invest tens to hundreds of millions of dollars making a movie wouldn't pay several thousand dollars to a poker consultant to make sure teh play actually makes sense.
That first hand in Rounders made me vomit. Board: A93ss "Against some people, I'd bet small, try to lure them in, but that won't work against Teddy. I gotta bet big, make him think I'm trying to buy the pot." Matt bets like 10k into like 500, leaving like 30k behind. Teddy calls. "My best guess, after he smoothcalls my ridiculously huge overbet that looks like a steal, is that he's on a flushdraw of some sort." After the hand shows down to reveal a horrible cooler: "It wasn't bad luck. I got outplayed." lol...

Re: Holdem Movie coming out called \"DEAL\"
Shannon Elizabeth was on the radio yesterday talking about the movie and she said something like "He's a kid who doesn't know how to play real poker at first because he only plays online".

The game has evolved so much since 03 alone, so while some of the hands in Rounders seem comical for 97 I think they got it pretty right. The general public had such little understanding of the game back then, there wasn't as much to go on.

Re: Holdem Movie coming out called \"DEAL\"
Rounders is a bad mama jamma.
I would love there to be a sequel...I doesn't have to be better, just more of the same. Sort of like the Bourne Identity, not that each movie was wow didn't think they would take it there, just different people getting shot in the head and i was happy with that. Rounders 2 - Mike busts early in the WSOP and gets caught up in some big games and looses his bankroll. He quits poker again for a year and starts to grind out his bankroll again. Then the poker boom hits and he makes it huge. He hears on the news one day that Worm is busted for online colluding, first case ever to be prosecuted in the states. He decideds to go visit him during his trial and when he's there he feels bad and decideds to post bail for him. Worm and Mike are best friends again...Worm explains his whole online plan gig yadda yadda yadda he gets busted playing with mike at a big live game across state lines, mike feels bad for driving him to play, worm feels bad for loosing his money. Mike is let free, worm is booked for sure, thing is that the game was so huge Mike lost almost all of his BR playing/staking worm... Mike visits worm in the holding area and worm slipps mike a piece of paper which has the LAST account which Worm was using online that haden't been busted for collusion. Mike must play on this account to....

Re: Holdem Movie coming out called \"DEAL\"
Save Worms life. Turns out that the jail he'll be booked to Grandma is there and has orders from KGB to kill him. He hopes that if he can come up with 129 dollars this will save worms life and allow him to rebuild his bankroll.
He makes only 100 dollars and plans to try to give that to KGB but when he get to NYC KGB is in vegas for the WSOP...He flys to vegas and challenges KGB (who is playing in the HORSE event) to play for 100 dollars. KGB laughs him off and declines to play for such a small amount. Mike goes to Bobbys room anyways and plays with all the highest stakes pro's and turns his 100 dollars into 1 million dollars. KGB busts out of the Horse event and get word of Mike playing in the Biggest Games at bobbies world. Well he then goes to mike and accepts his challenge to play heads up for Worms life only catch is...they have to play PLO which mike doesn't have much experience with... yadda yadda yadda...Worm get to live in jail for 10 years...mike is hero again...last scene is him busting out of the WSOP by some donkey...
