James Bond and Hold\'em Part II
On www.imdb.com it says that Casino Royale's plot is:
James Bond must thwart a dangerous Russian spy from winning a No-Limit Texas Holdem game of Poker worth millions. Any insight? Is this too much poker content for OOT? |

I remember them playing baccarat.
Are you saying I'm joking and it doesn't say that or that IMDB is joking? Here's the link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381061/ |

Re: James Bond and Hold\'em Part II
Yeah, they switched it to holdem. Here's an obsessed fansite with more details.
1. This makes more sense. In the original novel, apparently Bond was some kind of "expert baccarat" player. Umm... bet on bank? 2. This is the high point of the cultural relevance of poker. Don't quit your day jobs. |

[/ QUOTE ] Every time someone makes a statement like this, pkr has its cultural relevance extended by a few days. Its just the way fads work. People swore disco was 'here to stay'. and they swore that cars were a fad. |

This is a joke. The book does feature a game of bacarrat between Bond and the villain, though.

It was central to the plot (Bond was trying to bankrupt a communist cell in France), and there's no reason they can't change it from baccarat to holdem.
