Default Re: Greatest movie/TV Poker Scene of All Time. . .

Old western, "Big hand for the little lady", I think is the title. NL 5 card draw, woman takes over for husband who is "ill", she knows nothing about poker, shows someone her hand they tell her it is unbeatable. Very large pot, she needs additional funds to make a call and a large raise, so she goes to Banker who is very conservative for a loan, he comes to game and agrees to loan with cards as collateral. Opponent folds. Not playing table stakes in this game, you need the money to call or you fold.

This one hand is at least half of the movie.

We find out her hand later. not shown during game.
Not the greatest movie, but an interesting idea.
