Default 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?

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Has anyone read the book? Is that REALLY the plot?

I read it but it was over 20 years ago. I they played Baccarat in the original. However, I don't recall that it was central to the plot. I could be wrong though.

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

Let me suggest that you could probably get a lively discussion going in the WPT forum over something like, "Which professional poker player would make the best James Bond villian?"

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.

Like I said it was over 20 years ago. He was going to bankrupt the commies by beating them at baccarat? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I remember them playing baccarat.
Are you saying I'm joking and it doesn't say that or that IMDB is joking?
