[@siramoras]

What does it matter If it is the first hand or the 100th - this is a relatively normal move to make?

[@Spoopball]

@@siramoras It's a poor move, because Matt's character barely has any read on John's besides the fact that Matt's already lost to him before. And by this point in the movie Matt's character borrowed 10k from a friend and if he loses this game the mobsters are gonna take him out back and shoot him.

Teddy KGB was a GTO player randomizing his actions using oreo's in 1998. GOAT.

[@nikhilsunku1186]

Goat comment that’s genius

[@markmohr9356]

Frosting on right, fold. Frosting on left, call. Solid strategy.

[@Icemanfan28]

Looking back, the Oreos were such a ridiculous tell 😂 who would ceremoniously eat an Oreo before they bet every time they have the nuts? And open one and put it back every time they’re bluffing. And how would every pro not pick up on that? Still one of my favorite movies of all time

[@geoffbeyer1873]

They're fully vaccinated and boosted, GTO Oreo's

[@emdiar6588]

Good randomiser for 50/50 decisions though. Filling in right hand - call, filling in left - fold for instance. I actually thought that was what he was doing. I mean, how is it a tell? Also he did it AFTER the all in, so what good is a tell from the guy who's closing the action?

[@mikebrown3155]

It's because it's a movie

[@DyceFreak]

I've folded aces to kings before, with a correct read.. 2 kings and an ace on the table, dude hit quads I hit full house... Wasn't preflop tho obv. My friend was bleeding tells like it was a main artery.

[@adrrda6091]

It's not only a gripping film, it's a film that leaves you with a wonderful feeling inside. Some films keep you interested but leave you feeling dry or in a bad mood. This is good in every sense of the word and all these great actors put in great performances and Norton perhaps the best of them all.

[@RivieraStudios]

While it does have a happy ending, as said many times before Mike is a degenerate gambler. I disagreed with a lot of the decisions he made throughout the film. Especially going back to the table after paying off Teddy, gambling $5000 on what was essentially still his professor's money, after closing the arc.. He can't help himself but to keep putting it all up all the time. The whole film I saw his friend Knish as the angel on his shoulder and Worm as the devil, and there was way more devil in Mike than angel. Absolutely no bankroll management skills. He loses a lot in this film (a promising start to a law career, the woman he loved) only. to come back full circle to the "3 stacks of high society" and heads to Vegas to put it all up again.. God knows Worm wasn't long for this world.

[@mrlucky4585]

I've watched this movie countless times one of my all time favorites

[@tylergerald]

Used to watch Blue Collar Comedy Tour a lot and Ron White did a little bit on how watching ppl play poker makes you think you can play poker "You get to that table and you find out real quick, they don't let you look at other players' cards. I'm sitting there the whole time like 'where's that little odds thing that tells me how I'm doing!?' "

[@jjfromthebigland781]

Matt Damon, Edward Norton, John Malkovich, John Turturro, Martin Landau... man what a cast this movie has...

Lol the biggest of games. Hadn't seen him for like a decade it feels like and just found out this year he's sadly left this world... if they're playing cards up there, hope he saves me a seat. Edit, and yes of course watching this movie over and again, never gets old!

[@chrislake552]

One of my all time favorites.

[@blanchjoe1481]

"Rounders" was one of the best written, and acted, yet least appreciated of the films of that year. While not an expose or very valid story of underground poker, it was a great simple sroy very well written by David Levien and Brian Koppelman and Damon did a good job, his work was outclassed by Malkovitch and Norton.

[@user-cb2lz8yy9s]

This is a great movie. I just watched it the other day. Malkovitch was incredible in this movie.

The fact that Mikey was totally focused on playing his best game after not sleeping for 3 days and getting the tar beat out of him says a lot about his desire to win. Not to mention the serious high stakes. He may have only had hours to live. He was at his best under the worst of circumstances. Amazing win.

[@veritruan2397]

I dont think they would have killed him. If they killed someone over $50,000.. lulz. That wouldnt even pay the deposit of the lawyer to defend the guy who murdered him. Not counting the fact police would link it to teddy pretty fast. they would most likely break his legs and/or force him to do crazy high risk jobs like delivering drugs, etc.

This movie inspired many young men to try their hand at poker. They all found out it's a hard way to make an easy living.

[@RJwarriorpoet]

@Midnight Movie Man Ah yes, the old "theoretically" it could be done argument. The problem is that it's HARD for people to have patience and focus for 12 hours a day, which is how long a pro plays, 6 days a week. Real life is not like the movies, sometimes you can go for hours with out a good hand. If you start playing with shitty cards, the math will beat you in the end, and over the long run you will be a loser. Don't tell you could do it, go out and do it, and then tell me if it's hard or not. I tried playing Pro for six months and poker is a cruel, cruel mistress. But, don't take my word for it, give it a shot.

[@bryangrageda]

@@RJwarriorpoet facts

[@Impact009]

@@RJwarriorpoet I went out and did it, and I agree that it depends on the bankroll. For his argument's sake, $10 per hour is easy with a higher bankroll but yes, atrociously difficult in terms of time if I played $0.50 - $1 games. My only gripe is that the math doesn't beat you in the long run. I played Texas Hold'em, and because everybody has the same chances, then in the long run, barring folds, you'll get just as many shitty cards as you do good cards. I personally stopped playing because a game stops being a game for me when it becomes work. That, and I'd rather be self-employed in a less risky business these days.

[@RJwarriorpoet]

@@Impact009 I'm sorry but your comment is factually wrong. Not all cards have the same value and statistically speaking, the amount of hands that will win money is far smaller than the amount that will lose money. I don't really think you played long enough to make an accurate assessment and probably just dabbled. As for your comment about it feeling like a job, that's what it means to be a professional poker player, it's your profession aka job.
