Rounders

What does everybody here think about the movie? (Or atleast those who have seen it) Accurate, exaggerated, inspiring, or embarrassing, because around where I live, almost everybody I know who plays poker were in someway inspired by the movie.

Fun topic, bye.

Try a search of 'Rounders'. There have been many lengthy post of this subject in the past.

The only thing wrong with the movie is they didn't cast me in one of the parts. I'm hoping that flaw will be corrected in Rounders II.

It's kind of a neat movie, but there are some serious problems.

One of the main premises is that just because Matt Damon's character bluffs Johnny Chan out of one pot, he has what it takes to be a pro. Are you kidding. Anyone can win a pot off a pro. That's meaningless. Let's see him play 1000 hands with Chan and then take the score. I bet he's down... and more than he lost to KGB.

I think this had more to do with playing confident against the best. It proved he finally got the kahunas to play with the big boys. Maybe not beat them, but at least keep up.

???? He convinced a couple of Hawaiian shamans to play high-stakes poker???

Was that like in "deleted scenes" on the DVD???

Great post. A literal LOL. I thought Dynasty's Moneymaker post would win the title for best intentionally funny post of the month but you just surged into the lead.

The movie is totally wrong.

No way in hell Damon would have kicked out Famke. She would have done it anyway she could take it.

Movies are so unrealistic.
