rounders

If you want to give this thread some new life, you might consider this question:

Knowing everything we know today, which of these had more of a positive influence on the game of poker as we know it today (either live or online):
a) Rounders
b) Moneymaker

(I say "knowing everything we know today", because if the quesiton was "at the time they happened, which had a greater effect...", I think it's Moneymaker's win in a cakewalk. But looking back on everything in the aggregate, it's hard not to agree that Rounders had a huge effect as well.)

this is a nice observation, captain obvious.

considering moneymaker and hachem referenced the movie in talking about getting into poker.

on a totally unrelated note: how many drum majors did the move drumline create?

How is it that a box office bomb that almost no one saw gets credited with the poker boom? If it hadn't been made Moneymaker and Hachem would have referenced The Cincinnati Kid or California Split. Not saying Rounders wasn't the best poker movie ever, but come on, its a cult flick.
Nice post fake Malmouth.

I didn't think Rounders was that great. It didn't make me want to play poker. Then again, I'm not a 20-something yuppy that's looking for a role model. 20-something poker players make me vomit.
