 | poker player's review of rounders |
Signor Ferrari has posted an excellent poker-player-oriented review of Rounders, which makes some great points on things about the movie that have always bothered me, including Mike McDermott's love life and his over-inflated opinion of his chances at the WSOP:
Will Mike get cracked in Vegas? Again, let's examine the evidence. First, Mike decides he "belongs" because he bluffed Johnny Chan out of a hand at a $300/600 table and then ran away with his winnings. Well whoop de damn doo!Link (via Tao of Poker)
The scene where Mike is talking about beating Johnny Chan always bothered me too. Heck, I've been in two heads-up pots with Scotty Nguyen, and one with TJ Cloutier, and won all three of them. That must make me three times more qualified than Mike McDermott to make it big! But I'd lose my life savings in about six months if I moved to Vegas to become a pro poker player :)
You should be in Rounders 2: The Revenge of Teddy KGB

Obviously you haven't looked into being a professional craps player.
