The blinds are 25-50, as stipulated by Teddy when Mike
enters the cardroom.

Scorecard: Mike: $10,000. Teddy: $10,000.

First hand: Mike wakes up with KK and raises $1,000 straight, which is brilliant because he knows the raise is out of proportion to the blinds and it is likely Teddy will play back at him, believing Mike is trying to assert himself. Mike takes down a $10,000 pot after moving in in the face of Teddy's $5,000 reraise.

Scorecard: Mike: $15,000. Teddy: $5,000

After Mike beats Teddy for his last $2,500 with two pair (JTs on a 757J9 board - Mike flopped a four-flush and hit his J on the turn), Mike supposedly has $20,000, doubling his original buy-in of $10,000.

Scorecard: Mike: $20,000. Teddy: $0.

Teddy goads him back to the table, using the infamous "stick it in you" line.

Now there is $40,000 on the table, $20,000 in each stack.

Scorecard: Mike: $20,000. Teddy: $20,000

Mike suggests they double the blinds, and Teddy responds with "Table stakes".

Camera cuts to later on, when teddy is ridiculing Mike for not getting up from the table ("You must be kicking yourself. Bad judgement!"), and we are to assume Mike has blown back some of the $20,000.

Estimated Scorecard: Mike: $15,000. Teddy: $25,000

Mike puts Teddy on tilt after laying down two pair to Teddy's made straight (incidentally, assuming Mike would raise preflop with A5, what was Teddy doing in there with 42?).

They continue, and we must assume Teddy has reloaded once for $20,000 more after tilting away some of his money.

Estimated Scorecard: Mike: $35,000. Teddy: $25,000

Then the final hand:

Mike has 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and doubles the $100 big blind with a raise, which Teddy suprisingly only calls with the oft-argued but long-since-settled-upon TT.

Ironically, it would make more sense if he had AA, as he had played it the same way preflop as in the first game at the start of the movie. However, this time he couldn't slowplay as he did not flop a set, so he bet out instead. If he had checked the flop, TT would be far more likely given Teddy's past plays. When the A fell, he thought he had the nuts when in fact he only had the second-nut - top set. On the other hand, Teddy throws in his money almost in resignation - not consistent with his reaction to Mike's raise against his AA earlier on. If Teddy is so tilted as to not wonder what's up when Mike calls a 5x pot bet on the flop, how would he have the presence of mind to put on such a show preflop?

Pot: $400

Flop: 6 7 T

Teddy bets $2000 (into a $400 pot!). Mike calls. Alarm bells should be ringing in Teddy's head, but alas they are not.

Turn: 2

Teddy bets the pot: $4400. Mike calls. Still no alarm bells.

Current Stacks: Mike: $28,400. Teddy: $18,400.

River: A, completing the rainbow

Teddy goes all in for $18,400 into a $13,200 pot. Mike calls and teddy is "feeling satisfied". "All night he check, check, check. He trap me!"

Pot size: $50,000. Mike's stack after calling the river bet: $10,000.

Scorecard: Mike: $60,000. Teddy: $0

$15,000 back to Teddy for Worm's old debt.
$10,000 back to Petrovsky for the previous night's loan.
$6,000 back to the Chesterfield.
$29,000 in Mike's pocket.

Interestingly enough, no rake or seat charge at Teddy's club?

Everything works out. Haven't seen it since last summer. How's that for a memory, bunky?
