Gambling Movie Suggestions

[ScareCrowAKA]

Im gonna rent a movie...

whats the best gambling movie ever made?

Ive seen... Oceans 11, Rounders, 21, Casino Royal

[NDN]

You should go with the obvious ones if you haven't seen them...

Casino

The Hustler

The Color of Money

Maverick

Since you're into sports, Two for the Money is worth the watch, but I'll assume you've seen that before.

[ScareCrowAKA]

The color of money, I have never seen

never Heard of the Hustler or 2 for the Money

Seen Maverick and Casino... come to think about it, Never seen Rain man either

[NDN]

Sounds like you're in for a long night of movies!

[ScareCrowAKA]

Ya, studying, Movies, gambling, and maybe some poker, lol --- my life

[eejit101]

2 for the money baby!!!

Also - Casino Royale again.

[ScareCrowAKA]

Haha, Casino Royale is cool, but I dont get that its completely awesome, like others

I liked Oceans 11 better

[eejit101]

It gets better with more viewing. The only bad bit is the final poker hand. Nut flush vs boat vs boat vs straight flush.

Closest ive ever had when palying live or online, is Nut straight flush vs low end straight flush vs nut flush. But that hand we both only used 1 card. Not both.

[ScareCrowAKA]

Ive seen a straight flush once... it was the wheel, both cards played dealt to me in a 40$ live tourney... I was over trip Kings

online seems like mostly quads over quads, flushes over flushes, set over set, straight over straight

... last night I was up 60$ bucks and ended up breaking even from flush over flush 2 hands in a row

[eejit101]

Ive had one live royal flush. Managed to get top two pair to shove by some awesome talking skillz.

[ScareCrowAKA]

hahaha, I dont talk at all... usually just make it look Like Im playing scared for a while, Losing a little here and there, then calling down a big bluff... usually works live... Online have to play agerssive... whenever I lose, its cuz I play too long, need to set a win % and get out... I always lose after playing for 5+ hours

I can only play anything more than a 50 field tournament, if I sleep like 10 hrs and wake up like 1-2 hrs b4 it starts. lol

[eejit101]

My biggest wins are tourneys with over 5,000 ppl.

$65k, $9k, $6k etc

[ScareCrowAKA]

see, the 65k thing is awesome, but it seems to be more like winning a lottery, cuz u have to get so lucky to win that...

where as, if u play cash games or sit and goes and win consistantly at a 10-20% ROI, to me, that seems more impressive...

even though I would want to win the 65k any time over winning 100$ grinding for 8 hrs

80k in winnings is impessive though... do u have any idea if u are up or down lifetime?

[eejit101]

OPr has me up on FullTilt, Stars, and PAradise.

Only thing im down on is paradise.

Then again, that doesnt account the fact ive got stacked a few times in cash games.


Also - winning tourneys with a good percentage is not lucky. Some is, but int he $65k i didnt get lucky once. I was involved in a total of TWO races. 33 vs AT (I think the pic is in the thread) and 88 vs AK at the final table for the chip lead or bust in 9th. The 88 held. And it was a good play IMO.

Im on button, EVERYONE limped. No folds. I shove 88. Only the leader calls. With AK. he was in mid position. Was the worst call ive seen, maybe ever.

[ScareCrowAKA]

lol... when I talk about being lucky... I talk about being lucky like me and not getting sucked out by a flush draw or trips on the river

[eejit101]

ahh. Thats not lucky. Thats running with maths!

Ever notice all threads turn in to a conversation between me and you?

[woohoosue]

for you youngsters "the sting"

[woohoosue]

flame of barbary coast for you john wayne lovers

[Ringo]

ahh. Thats not lucky. Thats running with maths!

Ever notice all threads turn in to a conversation between me and you?

(-19a + 13b) - ( 4b - a )= 420

[eejit101]

Did you just make a we.ed joke?

[ScareCrowAKA]

haha every turns out controversial w me, cuz im not offended easily... and I dont give a F, lol

and math, wtf? I swear to F'ing God I have not hit a open ended straight draw on that GD cake skin in like 20 trys... no joke, no lie... it astonishes me

while at the same time, getting rivered w 2pair over 2pair like 5 times in the last 50 hands
