Taylor Caby, Ryan Firpo and I (and everyone involved with this project, including many 2p2 legends) are excited to announce BET RAISE FOLD: The Story of Online Poker (formerly titled BOOM documentary), the first feature length film about the online poker boom. Coming in June 2013.

This documentary is a project borne straight out of the online poker community and funded independently with online poker winnings. This is our story, from Moneymaker to TwoPlusTwo, to Black Friday and beyond.

Please share the project with anyone you know who has ever been touched by or shown an interest in poker. We're extremely proud of this movie and grateful we have an opportunity to tell the story of online poker the right way. It's an incredible story, and we think we've done it the justice it deserves. We hope you guys do too.

looks....interesting...

Pretty cool, I look forward to watching the whole thing when it comes out.

Very neat - gave me goosebumps when the FTP shutdown notice came up

I will be sharing! It looks amazing.. brilliant for helping the general public have a better understanding of what online poker is about.


Congratulations for getting it all done guys.

Projects like this are a very good thing for poker in general.

Meanwhile, everywhere else in the world other than USA....(FTP was obviously one site which universally affected everyone, but Stars etc.)

looks good. lookin fowahd

Great stuff can't wait till june

I think it moved.

Can I watch this for free on launch?

If its an average length movie ~2hrs, I'm not sure how you get the whole story in. should be interesting. How will it be distributed/released?

Jedi approves.

Just watched the trailer, looks like a good film. Makes me a little sad though.

looks interesting. Shared. Brings up a lot of nostagia though

Looks amazing guys! Thanks for all the hard work you have been put into the project.

i just won money with online poker, this documentary is invalid.

it's going to cost money to watch. when we start taking pre-orders, you can get a discount. we'll have more info about pricing in the coming weeks.

it's a mustwatch

the movie is ~90 minutes long, so it was tough to get everything in. there are definitely "things" left out of the movie, but we think it tells the story pretty well.

also, we'll be releasing deleted scenes over the next two months. there's one coming out tomorrow about Phil Ivey.

Awesome, can't wait!

looking frwd to it

Right now we will be releasing it in June, available for purchase online at our website. We have hopes to get something more widespread. At this point, all we can ask is for people who like the project to share it with other people...every little bit helps. We are working behind the scenes to find some larger outlets for the movie. Of course, if you know of anything helpful on this front, please feel free to contact us. (http://betraisefoldmovie.com/contact)
