Direct to video I guess. Meaning it will run on TV right after the poker boom is over.

Honestly the reason this is so bad is because the directors refused to listen to the guy who wrote the script. Brenton Goulding (see: 3 generation family in WSOP with grandpa that got railed for cursing) wrote this if I remember correctly and his dad's company put it together. I recall a story about a scene they were shooting where they refer to "Under the gun" as "on the gun" and Brenton was like "dude you have to reshoot that scene it's completely wrong" and they refused because "whats the difference".

Basically it wasn't because of lack of effort, just simply bad management.

My brother was telling me about this movie. Didn't they finally find a tell on that guy, which was him taking exactly like 3.2 seconds if he was bluffing.

"It's in his timing. He takes 4 seconds when he has something, and 8 seconds when he's bluffing...almost down to the tenth of a second." Then on the crucial hand he takes 6 seconds because he knows there onto him. Yes, because if he knows they know his timing tell, doing something completely different is the most +EV move.

This was probably the worst movie I've ever seen. The worst part IMO is that when the hero makes a winning hand, but before anymore chips go in, the music starts getting triumphant. So basically, the river comes and triumphant music ensues, then someone check raises or something. It's hilarious and on Showtime all month. How they got Dominique Swain and Michael Madsen to do this movie is beyond me.
