Nice bait
CR was a good movie and a good Bond movie but it sure wasn't a good poker movie

All poker movies are good.

Ze game ees.... Tecksiss 'Oldum

Im not baiting.
I hate how smug she is in this but theyre just trying to stick to the book.
Like how her character talks about movie stars and rock start flirting with her. Bitch calm down youre like a 7 in real life

how do you cast THIS

for THIS

The Hustler

Is Casino (1995) any good?

This was an absolutely terrible poker movie. It reminded me of a yu-gi-oh episode.

"I reveal my hand to show I have four of a kind! You're finished!"

"Not so fast. I reveal my hand to show...a Royal Flush!"

"Noooooooooooo"

Give me a fucking break. This completely ruined the immersion for me. Trash film

"I had rockstars, movie stars, billionaires hit on me. But I knew if I fell in love with anyone then the game can be no more"

sure

I always liked Rounders an hoped for a sequel. Too bad televised poker died off.

That one episode of Sopranos where Chrissy watched out enough to make the final table was pretty good.

100% unequivocally this, I think my favorite Poker scene in anything was the charity game in Billions. When Taylor pwns the manlet because instead of her 4 aces beating his kings full of aces or whatever she paired the board and called his all in when he was sitting on a low pair or whatever. Then he goes mental "why'd you call with that shit" or whatever, I've had that happen so many times, them pushing with shit cards and you call with nothing great but you know you have them and they are just yelling "why the fuck would you call with pockets 8s!!!"

Dumbass doesnt even know the rules

"Bloom crossed paths with A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Nelly, and even Alex Rodriguez, so there are many sources of inspiration for Player X, played by a twitchy Michael Cera in Molly’s Game."

Reading the book and watching the movie, it’s pretty easy to determine that Player X is actually the OG Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire. Maguire’s poker prowess is already lore, but those who haven’t read Bloom’s book might just assume he’s a really good player who happens to be famous. That is true, but Maguire, as portrayed in the book and on screen by Cera, is more than that: He’s a sinister figure who takes pleasure in, as he puts it in the film, “destroying [the] lives” of his fellow players, and eventually Bloom herself.

pretty decent. its a de niro

>mfw I've never watched the Sopranos but recognized Ungar's glasses and still fell for the bait that that was a real episode anyways.

rounders is the best poker movie by far

so quotable and the poker lifestyle and mindset is pretty much nailed, especially for the time with the world series starting to gain prominence

Yes, but there's no actual poker/blackjack/gambling. It's more about the people that run the casino + the mafia

He's got a Mississippi flush, the only hand that beats a royal.

Yeah, sorry. Obviously it's High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story, which is a legit good film with accurate poker scenes.

>it's a Jennifer Tilly episode

cant remember the name but that mel gibson western is the best poker movie. better than rounders

Based user.

hey user, my cards arent on my chest silly. i call your bluff now gimme ur chips

100% kino coming through

if you like Cream i highly recommend it

Hot DAMN

ChaSTAIN got no game.

My eyes just always laak in on that cleavage.

I had trips.

Poker is pleb tier
Baccarat is what they played in the book, patrician game.
Fight me.

This.

The hole card blackjack cheating scene is pretty good. Other than that there's an Asian whale playing baccarat that they explain how they keep him gambling and a scene at a craps table that introduces Sharon Stone's character, neither of which go into the games in depth.

Baccarat is a coin flip bet and I don't really see how you'd play it competitively because you can bet exactly like the other person if you want (both the amount and whether on player or dealer or tie). When casinos have blackjack, baccarat or craps tournaments you're judged by chip count after a certain amount of hands or rolls and these are usually just promotional events to draw gamblers there for the weekend.

The character wins be being written to have a better hand.

The highest stake games in the world are baccarat, behind closed doors, go to Macau or the real Vegas.

It's also the oldest casino game, 14th century

>villain is hailed as a GOAT poker played
>all hands shown are un-interesting with obvious choices
>hero wins by getting a straight flush in a hand where everyone has something big

Bad poker movie, and not a very good movie overall either. It had some great action, but that's it.

I'm not doubting any of that. I'm just saying it's a game you play against the house, not other players except in those chip count tournaments, and it requires absolutely no skill. The cards for 'player' and 'dealer' are dealt based on preset rules and the gamblers are just choosing which they think will total closer to 9. It's not a 'heads up' game, so it always confused me that the it was presented as such in earlier Bond films.

This simplicity explains its popularity, as well as how the numerology fits perfectly into a lot of Asian superstitions. Players will alternate player and dealer side bets based on certain lucky 'roads' they perceive when the math says you'll come out slightly ahead just betting dealer side 100% of the time.

Have you ever even played it?

>it's an Artie Lange justifies genocide while Norm Macdonald btfo's a jew episode

kek

You're right that the ace didn't help me. I flopped the nut straight.

Yes, the house odds are only around a percent or two, if you've read Casino Royale, Fleming gives a barebones explanation of the game. It's all about reading your opponent, it's more interesting than poker if you're playing someone experienced.
Try it sometime, it's better than you think and more suited to Bond; intuition and luck beats cold calculation.

Fucking has to be bait. Stupidest hand in history wins it.

We had a girl who used to play in our usual Poker tables down at the Casino. Had a huge bust and always had them on display. Especially when she was in a hand. Constantly leaning forwards etc. Could instantly disarm the fish at the table and eat them up acting like a ditzy blonde.

Sigh. Reading your opponent, really? You've obviously never played baccarat and you've not understood anything I've said.

People at real baccarat tables are usually betting on the exact same side every single hand (usually the table follows the largest bettor). The only opponent is the house. It's a community game (like craps) in which the table usually wins or loses together. Sure, there the occasional people that will bet against everyone else (just like don't pass bettors in craps), but they're not playing 'against' anyone. They're just going after the house's money. And that doesn't change the fact that it's a fucking COIN FLIP GAME.

Certain variations of baccarat let the player have a card and thus some degree of control

But to be on topic the best poker movie is prob cincinatti kid with Steve mcqueen

The player side ALWAYS takes a card when the first two total 0-5. Whether it's big table, midi, mini or EZ baccarat this is always true. Just admit you've never played it.

interracial pushing jew shit

Yes, not really a poker movie though. Goodfellas in Vegas.

>t. butthurt baccarat player

50 posts in. No Croupier. Unbelievable.

The problem poker has is that the good players are separated from the bad over hundreds or even thousands of hands. So films are left with choosing between believable and boring or interesting but nonsense.
