Malkovich was sooo good. So was Norton. The movie was simply the essence of cool. P.S: that movie has gotten me obsessed with poker.

1. Going to see it tomorrow
My friend is bringing it over, I have heard it is really good. Plus, I play poker anyway regularly with a group and we recently started playing no-limit hold'em as an experiment with low stakes of course so it will be interesting to watch the movie.

5. Oh yeah, great flick
I watch the video tape every now and then, it does a real good job of drawing you into the minds of the players.

6. hrmm...
I didn't love it. Thought it was hokey, and Malkovich's "tell" was stupid. Nobody would ever have gotten that far in poker with such a tell.

Also, the whole idea of it being a big deal to get a pro player like Johnny Chang to fold is nonsense. It's easy to get a good player to fold - it's the bad ones that cause you trouble

7. o well
its not like the real thing. But it helps newbies to get into poker in the first place. You should appreciate newbies. They give you money all the time.

8. You like poker???
Try ultimatebet.com

Youll need to download it. Its the best out there that Ive found. Stay away from pokerstars, jetsetpoker is your second best bet.


No limit holdem and limit omaha tables are buzzing these days. Many a fish ripe for the harvest :)
