Are you saying this because

a) You actually think like this and you have analyzed every hand in this movie

b) You think it's cool to say that?

Answer and elaborate please.

For one thing, betting 2x pot is standard in that movie on most streets. And 10x preflop raises with KK heads up. And 3 bets to 5x reraises etc. KGB reraises Mikes 1000 bet (with KK) to 5000.

well the two that jump to mind besides the AA999 hand are johnny chan 3-betting a 10BB stack at 300/600 and folding to a 4-bet and the 1st hand of the final HU match when the pot is opened to 1k at 25/50

It's a hand where 99.999% of players would have gone broke on. Nuff said.

yeah iirc johnny chan folding to a 4bet in LIMIT preflop was pretty good

[Dima2000123]

If I were Matt Damon, I would certainly shut my mouth on the river, instead of saying "I don't believe you have a flush". It's an excellent way to get the guy with the flush to fold.

I remember at the time trying to discern what they intended in this scene.

There's NO WAY Chan is folding preflop to a 4-bet in limit holdem (obviously), so I was trying to see if they were trying to show a raggedy flop or what...

And I was left mystified.

[Daddy Warbucks]

It's on the flop. You can actually see 3 cards dealt out. Everybody just assumes it happens preflop because he doesn't mention where the action starts out.

i love it how people take this film seriously to the point they analyse the hands and use it for instructional purposes.

its a film ffs, they do what the directors think will look best on screen.
