Default 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?

I think the worst part of the movie was the end when KGB keeps talking about how Mike was on a draw and blah blah blah and then on the river he says that mike mises it and then he moves all in?!? like he'd call with a busted flush draw.

anyways I guess that is another thread for another day.

Yea. Not to mention that he's supposed to be some great NL player that doersn't realize he has this ridiculous Oreo tell? And no one ever spotted it before? Hilarious.

So how did the game go, did you reraise chan with rags and get him to fold, sitting with the best in the world and beating him?

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.

Good story. I have heard many things very similar. Both about the broke part and the scumbag part.

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.

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.
