Default rounders vs. reality

Posting this since it seems like every poker player is also a rounders fan and hence it's regularly discussed.

I've heard people say that it's the only realistic gambling movie ever made.

Well 2+2, what's your opinion?

Quite right, in real life no one would be stupid enough to turn down Famke Janssen throwing herself at you.

I'd say it's crap. Except for Joey Knish -- him I see at every 15-30 and up table everywhere.

I met the guy who "claims" that he is the character they used to invent Knish. I put claim in quotes because everyone calls him Joey Bagels and the writers, who were regulars at the Mayfair, a now defunct club in NYC, apparently liked the name.

According to Shaun, KGB from the Player's Club worked at the Mayfair and was the inspiration for Teddy KGB.
