Re: doesn\'t say in the screenplay......................
i also think due to the situation they couldn't really be read as tells. mikey seemed to be a fairly straight forward player in teddy's mind. he probably read mikey's "tells" as frustrations, knowing that if he doesn't hit this so called draw, he's seriously screwed, but he had no other plays, as the clock was ticking.
plus teddy was pretty damn cocky.
one thing i'd also like to stress... IT'S A MOVIE!!!!! this reminds me of the sci-fi geeks that pick apart sci-fi movies. "there is no way that class IV starcruiser could make that jump to light speed that close to a blackhole!!" (complete with nasally voice, and snorty laughs)
heh, i enjoyed it for what it was... a movie.
