That scene did suck.
As much as that scene has been beaten up on this site, it deserves more. It sucked. What the hell would Chan muck for one more bet, from a short-stacked unknown punk-kid opponent?

Re: funny johnny chan story
Not poker related, but the same premise:
I was told in an investments class by the prof. of a guy in the late 1980's who had an investment newsletter. He sent out thousands of them all over. On half of them, he predicted the market would go up, on the other half, he predicted the market would go down. After the next quarter, he got business from a ton of the people on the winning side and did the same thing. It worked for a couple quarters until i guess he was caught. Not sure if that is true either, but if so it is a nice scam. |

Re: funny johnny chan story
Good story. I have heard many things very similar. Both about the broke part and the scumbag part.

Re: funny johnny chan story
isn't that SOP for a lot of the fly-by-night sports betting touts? play one side to half the callers and the other to the other half. wash, rinse repeat.

Re: That scene did suck.
If you read the original script, Mike says he put Chan on a pure bluff, which makes his play more excusable and makes Chan's far more believable.
