Great thread, thanks for the links everyone!

Watching The Million Dollar Deal right now (I am from Ireland originally so this one is very enjoyable)

Not a documentary.

Also one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Now THIS is good!

Lol stereotypeaments

The Amarillo Slim was awesome, I never really knew much about him. Thanks for posting that.

wtf is the old guy in the red unlv jersey wearing on his head?!?

Rise and fall of Stu Ungar is prolly the best documentary on the web.

LMFAO

about 6 mins in..."If my opponent reads me well, it is over with my dream of winning. ****. He calls. What a nightmare" - Isabelle Mercier

HAHAH

The Passionate Eye: Poker Face is really good. It follows poker players during the 2006 WSOP, mostly following the ups and downs of Fabrice Soulier's WSOP. He's a good dude and the documentary is well done.

Where can I watch this online at?

Accepting I'm not nearly as intelligent as the high stakes players in some of these documentaries is difficult.

Here's the link for my suggestion, The Passionate Eye: Poker Face:

I didn't really like it I couldn't get into it. it was kinda depressing in a way to me.


anyone know how good this one is ? http://pokertube.com/Movies.aspx?mov...mentary&list=9 I dont feel like waqthing it

Whenever someone links to this movie, I watch a bit of it, and have this really sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

thanks for the link diesel

LOL @ DANIEL NEGREANU'S HAIR ! No wonder they casted him for Wolverine lol.

Good documentary. Noticed also this from it...

I watched this last night and thought it was good. In a way it was depressing, but that's painting a true picture. It is depressing to go out there and whiff every event.

What I thought was really interesting was how Mercier and Hachem in particular had such unreasonable expectations going in. Because they were so hung up on winning bracelets and "proving themselves", they both ended up disappointed despite making good profits on the Series. If you go in too hung up on results, especially wins, you're almost guaranteed to be depressed once it's over.

Yikes, I almost puked watching this one.

can people posting links please also post a brief description of what the link is about.

Thanks.

Ok I was bored and watched two of these, I was expecting suck, but I got lucky and they were both good.

Descriptions

This one is a documentary about some young high stakes winners who live together. It is non-narrated, sort of likes COPS, but without the crime , unless you count Schwartz turning down strip poker with those girls a crime. It features a ten thousand dollar drinking bet. I give it four out of five stars.

This one is very humorous and gives you a look at a lot of people you know ten years ago. This flick goes to show that visiting 1999 is like visiting another country where everyone is younger yet somehow much fatter and/or uglier (mostly both). This is only part one of four, so don't miss the other three. I also give this four out of five stars.
