Re: Loved Rounders, what else?
shade is worth a look
not because it is a great movie...B movie average at best. not for the poker, which is hollywoodized. but for the card manipulation stuff. all of the card tricks in the movie are real, there is no cutting in and out. watch the special features and see some of the best "mechanics" in the world. amazing but scary. cheers, the Real Macoy

Re: Loved Rounders, what else? - Cat Jump Avatar RULES
"Winner Takes All" certainly won't win any awards (it didn't), but if you're looking for a movie with a good amount of poker content in it, this is one. The story is about the life of a stereotypical degenerate compulsive gambler and how she ruins her marriage, then makes a turnaround. She haunts the California card rooms and race tracks. Don't expect this to be a classic, but it's a movie with some mediocre (at best) poker content.
"The Gambler" - the one starring James Caan, not the Kenny Rogers movie - doesn't have any poker content as I recall, but I think it is one of the best movies ever made about compulsive gambling.

You need to watch Maverick, not for the poker, When James Garner makes his getaway in that incredibly cool little steamboat.
