The most redonkulous thing about the movie 'Rounders' is .......
When Matt Damon's character is watching the law professor's poker game and he is so absolutely clear about what hands are held by the players. It would be "more realistic" if he put players on a range of hands, coming up with some percentage chance of what different players are holding, rather than the specificity of his analysis in the film. But more important than that is the fact that the entire plot develops when Worm takes $10,000 in credit and charges it to the account of Matt Damon's character. That would never happen!!!!
Thanks for all your kind comments on the forum - and your messages of support in the chat box during the epic final table.
Sorry if I've left anyone out, but a massive thanks attack to hawk7112, GREGHOGG, Nutter5932, Machka, darich, MAXALLY, murray69 and acebarry10.
Sorry, LML. In the words of Lancey Howard: "You're good, kid. But, as long as I'm around, you're second best. You might as well learn to live with it." :-)
As far as tonight's contest is concerned...
I'm amazed how many people haven't seen 'Rounders'! Anyway, I happen to like the scene where Mike calls all the cards at the judges' game. It reminds me of the sick hand-reading skills of players like Daniel Negreanu and Gavin Grifffin.
So, I'm going to award tonight's prize to scotty77. And, as I busted him from tonight's tournament, it feels appropriate.
Ryan - you'll get a PM on Tuesday from Sky_Claire.
I'm now away for a few weeks: winter sports holiday in Lapland; then working on the NAPT Mohegan Sun and EPT San Remo tournaments. So, you won't see me at the Sky Poker tables until the end of the month.
Very well played james, also well done to dewy who was the short stack for a long while on finishing 2nd, and ul that other person who finished 3rd who lost connection
Hmmm, JAMES going on a winter sports holiday and Lisa-Marie going snowboarding. There's nothing suspicious about that at all, is all I'm saying... Posted by Machka
lol - can you imagine it? Lisa-Marie and another member of the Sky Poker team? Ridiculous. Never gonna happen...
