all's fair in
pursuing a two-day craps roll since 1976
gambling poker movies

A couple poker movies showed at the CineVegas film festival last week. Shade is an interesting-sounding film, directed by a real-life card mechanic, and starring Sylvester Stallone as a poker hustler/cheat.

Shade is set in the world of poker hustlers working the clubs and martini bars of Los Angeles. The tale unfolds as a group of hustlers encounter "The Dean" and pull off a successful sting that results in their pursuit by a vengeful gangster.
It premiered last week at the festival, and got a fairly good reception. But Sly ain't exactly big-box-office material anymore; it sounds like it'll be coming soon to a video store near you, but I can't tell you when.

Stuey is the long-awaited (by me) biopic of Stu Ungar, without a doubt the greatest no-limit hold'em player of all time. It's also gotten very decent writeups, although they frequently mention the depressing side of the film, so it may concentrate more on Ungar's personal struggles than his amazing poker accomplishments.

One of my favorite Card Player articles was Mike Sexton's 2-part tribute to Stu Ungar. I can still remember reading Part 1 in the Bellagio poker room and being called for my seat in the 8-16 game, but being too engrossed to get up and take it. Part 1 Part 2

Update: wsop.dk has a great page of links to tributes to Stu Ungar. Also, the home page for Stuey is here; plenty of reviews and press, no details on distribution yet.

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.

Like any other muscle in the body, penile ligaments are quite flexible – so the more you stretch them, the larger they can become. Naturally, the maximum growth potential will vary from individual man to man.
