Did Johnny Chan 4-bet and fold to a 5-bet?
 

You know what I'm talking about. I'm confused.

Others may, I don't ... but this just happened to me the other night on Interpoker. Granted, could've been a misclick.

Rounders. Mike details how he sat down to play 300/600 with JC. He plays tight folding a lot. Then JC raises (presumably preflop - although I guess it is not clear) and Mike decides to make a play at him with rags. Mike re-raises. Then JC "raises back, trying to bully the tourist" or something like that. So Mike "comes right back at him and re-raises". Then JC "says 'What do you have?'" or something like that. And then JC mucks. "I sat with the best. And I won." Mike boasts.

WTF? It had been a while since I saw Rounders and I completely forgot this scene somehow. Does it make any sense to anyone?

I've made this play at least once.

Although this doesn't answer my question (which was just looking for someone to confirm that I understood the action correctly in the movie), I'm sure it is an interesting story and would love it if you would provide the details. Also, are you implying that I am correct in the action and that you think the action makes sense because the circumstances in the movie hand are similar to the ones in the hand in which you did the same thing?

You got the story right. 300/600 at the Taj. JC raises, Matt Damon reraises, JC 3-bets and Matt "hesitates for about 2 seconds" and 4-bets. Chan folds.

Interestingly enough Matt sat down at the table with 6k and managed to last an hour by mostly folding.

What's mostly confusing to me is did that action take place preflop?

Mike's coversation with Kanish sort of implies that it did which makes Chan's fold even more confusing.

Yes, this is my question and why I'm confused. On, say, the river, I might understand but preflop it just seems retarded.

You can see a flop in the scene. It looks like it's all broadway. Someone please kill me for knowing this.
