I love how bad John Malkovich's accent is, yet I wouldn't have it any other way.

Agreed. I think in an interview he said he knew that the accent was horrible but the director loved it. Pretty sure they didn’t have the bells to tell him.

For those saying, "wow, how honorable he's going to pay him". The guy runs a high stakes underground game. If he didn't pay him, his game is ruined, his reputation is ruined. No one will ever play there again, and teddy wouldn't be allowed to play at any other games. He pays him the 70k he won, people see that he's legit and won't screw someone, even an enemy. So now, he'll make 10x moving forward running his game.

Exactly! If you think your opponent missed a draw, they'll never call a river bet anyway. If Teddy had any hand with showdown value all he needed to do was check the river.

[@gurk_the_magnificent9008]

Right. Remember Mike wasn’t there to beat Teddy KGB and win his money back; he was there specifically to win enough money by dawn to pay off his debt to Grama (and by extension Teddy KGB himself). As long as Mike is still at the table Teddy wins. Both players know this, which is why Teddy taunts Mike to keep him there, and why he gets so frustrated when Mike plays conservatively - he’s supposed to be betting aggressively into Teddy because he’s on the clock - and why it’s so satisfying that Mike completely turns the tables.

Plus the villain here will probably have at least top pair with some semi connected card like a 9 or 8 that served as a blocker to the nut straight. And the river check was very very strange, misses out on a lot of value by not betting there with the nuts on average, a check there assuming your opponent is a good player is usually a concession of defeat, or that his A8 or A9 now hit top pair and has showdown value.

Two things about this scene never made sense to me. - First, Mike is already well ahead in chips and has Teddy covered. So even if he lost this hand, he is still playing. But that's Hollywood. - Second, when the flop comes out and Mike calls Teddy's bet, Teddy says 'you're on a draw, Mike.' This line never made sense to me. The flop was 6-7-10 rainbow. So the only hand Mike could have had that would have been a draw was 4-5 for the bottom end of the straight. The only other hand that would have made sense was 8-9 (what he had) but that's not a draw, it's a made hand. It makes no sense that Teddy would have been betting so hard into Mike thinking he was on a draw in that spot. If I were him, I'd have had alarm bells going off like crazy.

Teddy knows that people fear him, and he works to create and enhance the mystique around him. Teddy KGB uses that accent, that speech pattern, to keep his opponents off balance. It's brilliant.

What i love about this scene is the feel. The film captures the ambiance of high stakes poker. John is splashing his chips all over the cards, you cant make the turn or the river because they are covered in chips. When he keeps splashing arrogantly and defiantly while the cards are beign dealt and all along hes beign strung along. Texas Holdem at its full glory.

[@igipop14]

[@aikalabe7719]

Kgb says he's on a draw but he's smart enough to know he could have something else like pocket 6s. That all in bet was to chase him away if he was thinking about going in with a lower pair.

[@ankousouros]

@@aikalabe7719 to my point - why try to chase him away if you think you have the superior hand? The way he played it, he either flopped or rivered top set. His reaction to the 8 9 would indicate he wasn't bluffing so you have to assume that the preflop raise and post flop betting was representing the strength of a set. Under the impression he was ahead, a more strategic bet would have been for about 40% of the pot if he thought Mike had 2 pair or a smaller set. If Mike missed entirely, either a small bet or all in bet would chase him off - that's why i said it didn't make sense to go all in.

[@paulcolburn3855]

@@ankousouros I think another problem with this scene is if he was on a draw, what was he drawing for? If you think your opponent is on a draw you have to know what they need to hit there draw. If Mike didn't flop the nut with that flop, what kind of a "draw" could he have been on to make it worth it to stay on a 2 thousand dollar bet?

[@lf8058]

One of my favorite scene from a movie 😂

[@billybegood466]

I'd still like to know what Teddy had. If he really thought Mike was on a draw and missed, a check back is usually the best play on the river unless he needs to bluff.

[@TheStoneCoalition]

What makes sense here? He limped in pre-flop. So could have a low pocket pair or maybe a weak ace… I’m guessing A6. Because if he had a pocket pair of any kind, heads up, he’d already be way ahead and would likely have raised. He limps in with A6 and hits a pair on the flop, two of a kind on the river? If he put Mike on an A high flush draw, he may have thought Mike paired his ace on the river and because of the way he was betting so loosely, would assume Teddy was bluffing, so mike would call and pay him off with only a pair of Aces.

If he doesn't pay him his ring is ruined. No one except the desperate (i.e broke) will play at his games because no one trusts him to honor his word and pay.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

Just because he paid him doesn't mean he wouldn't have his legs broken 6 months later for the lack of respect. Don't forget KGB bought up Worm's $10k debt just so he could own him after he got out of prison several years later. He did that purely for revenge the only way it would make any financial sense is if KGB always knew that Mike would eventually get conned by Worm and end up taking over the debt.

[@donkeyears4704]

some are missing the reason why teddy pays him, etc. it's not so much about teddy kgb's personal integrity, which is still an element, but more so it's about the integrity of the card house which teddy is running for the russian mob. other players are there. if they see mike get beaten up or killed and most importantly not paid his winnings, then that card room dies. no one will give them action if they don't believe they'll get paid. teddy's bosses would not accept his personal reasons for them losing a revenue source over mike's relatively small winnings or teddy's personal grudge. teddy pays mike because he's not only a professional card player with integrity, but also because he's a professional criminal.

what's interesting to me is that this movie debuted well before the hype of Texas Hold em really took off. Yet they much more accurately depicted poker than any other show/movie that I have ever seen. Most poker scenes are darn right embarrassing but I suppose you can get away with that if people have absolutely no idea what is going on. E.G. the scene from Bond, Billions, etc.

[@highrofellos6721]

That scene from Bond is an absolute joke. Interesting side note. Based on the cards show Bond didn't need to have the straight flush to win. One other combo of cards would have also won the pot.

[@sethdimaria7207]

As much as Teddy paid Mike because of the nature of his gambling business, there was also a strong element of respect. Mike trash talks Teddy after the hand, which is almost always a no-go around mobsters.(Citation: Tommy from Goodfellas). This is why Grama initially lunges at Mike, and you can see a bit of shock on Grama's face when Mike trash talks Teddy. Even if Teddy paid up to protect his business reputation, most of the time, Mike's smart-ass remark would call for a tune-up. Teddy's insistence on sticking up for Mike and calling off his lackeys, regardless of whether or not he'd pay him, showed respect for Mike as a poker player. Nobody in the room would have thought anything of Mike getting a backhand for his wise-crack, but Teddy understands that trash talk is part of the game. Mike gambled with his life and didn't crack, and after all, only won back the initial $30 grand he lost to Teddy. (Bought in for 30 grand in the first poker scene, won 10 grand off Teddy with the judge's money, and then won another 20 grand off Teddy for a total of 30---the initial 30 that Mike lost.) At the end of the day, Teddy would've had to pay Mike for business reasons, but you can definitely see that he truly earns the mobsters' respect.
