This is my take on a possible Rounder sequel.

A guy lands in Vegas from New York with ($29,000 and change remaining bankroll). He rents an apartment for $800 a week but has to pay first and last months rent, put food in the fridge, get internet, cable, phone, insurance, pay for cabs to get everywhere ($27,000), he then buys a used car for $3,000 ($24,000).

Excited, our hero takes a seat at the 30-60 at the Bellagio, he's gonna show his stuff and prove his poker genius and double up right away. After a few hours of show-offy plays and draws that didn't come in, he is bummed to see his stack is down to a paltry $19,000. He calms himself by walking over to the Mirage poker room to have a seat at the 10-20, he wins a fun pot when his poket 9's flop a set etc. Hours later our hero leaves the Mirage with what he came with ($19,000).

Our hero then heads to the Win poker room because he heard they have the sexiest waitresses and the best free red wine for the low limit games. He takes a seat at a 4-8 and the waitress asks "Drinks? Drinks anyone?" as he turns to order, his tongue falls out as he witnesses the erotic jezebel of a waitress offering the alcohol he so enjoys, he wipes up his drool, and then begs "May I please have a cabernet?" As she goes to get his drink he wins pot after pot, not much later he is up to $19,400. When she comes by again she says "Drinks, drinks anyone", he says "I'll give you $19,400 to have sex with me right now", she says, "OK". They drive back to his apartment and as he prepares to copulate with her she says "are you gonna use a condom?" he says "no, I got a visectomy and I don't have aids", she breaths a sigh of relief and says "thank goodness, I didn't want anything between us", they both smile and then make amazing passionate love to each other. Together they touch the moon and reach the deapths of the ocean in the deepest of trancendent love making. After an hour or so of cuddling, our hero says to the scarlet jezebel, "here is your money, it is all I have left and I want you to have it" she says "I never wanted your money, I just want your love" He is deeply touched, after a moment of thought he says, "Tell ya' what, take this $9,400 and put a down payment on a condo for all of us" "All of us?" she asks, "yes, all three of us" he mentions, "you, me and little doyle", "little doyle, who's that?" she queries, "that's our baby" he says with a smile. "Baby? she asks, "you said you had a visectomy", he says "I lied", she replies with a grin "you poker players are all alike", they laugh together then embrace. She ponders for a moment then asks, "What about the remaining $10,000 dollars honey? What are you going to do with that money?" He says with pride "4 words, WORLD SERIES OF POKER!" She smiles at him with a glow of doubtless admiration.

Dear readers, how do you imagine a "Rounders" sequel?

Q.

10/20 AT THE BELLAGIO.

$800 a week? I pay $517 a month. Your charachter must hate money.

sounds.. made up

Why did I immediatly think of this thread after reading OP?

I was actually pretty into your story until the end where it got a little pitchy.

B-

B-, it would be A+ if the guy busts out 3rd hand preflop all in AA vs KK with AxxKK board, kills his GF and then goes on to killing spree all over Vegas

Anyone ever been to the Win?

yeah, i've never lost

started off good till the hooker part...

this is a- not b-

should have ended here

"Baby? she asks, "you said you had a visectomy", he says "I lied"

D- Didn't even crack a smile.

I sort of picked that up when he paid $3k for a car and $19k for a girl.

Not funny.

Not anything.

Might be a bit more realistic if in the 30-60 game in Bellagio he would have met Roy Cooke.

Seems more like a cinemax short than a rounders sequel. Keep trying though, you have potential for something.

weird.

actually i hate this so much im going to give it the booth wat

The "Grinders" treatment sounds like a terrible, hackneyed movie premise. So I don't doubt that it would get made into a flashy fall/spring Hollywood release with an up-and-coming actor in the lead and a sturdy, middle-aged character actor playing the foil. And of course the climatic hand must be what it always is in Hollywood; Aces full against a straight flush.

I am greenlighting this for paramount.

crapping itt

FYP

dude the guy wouldnt be able to buy into the main event cuz he doesnt have the buy in fee so the whole movie sucks balls!!

I definitely say go with the killing spree ending. You might want to have the guy just be awful at poker and never realize it. That would make for an interesting movie.

Edit: Killing spree after he busts out with ATo after going all in pf?

Eurorounders FTW im afraid

This.
