Although the literal translation is "____ your mother", its meaning and use is slightly different in Russian culture. It can be used both as a "goddamnit!"-like expression of frustration not directed at anyone, which is the most common, or the literal meaning as a verbal insult towards someone. Ya, Russians curse a lot...

It was pretty interesting in the way that it showed the hard life of poker pro's on the road, always having to search for a game, games being rare so players feel forced to play in shady circumstances where the risk of being beat up/robbed/cheated is substantial. And then only a few years later it's all outdated history because of internet poker and improved casino poker.

All the pool shark movies ensured that nowadays nobody is foolish enough to go to a pool hall to play for money with strangers because of all the sharks and hustlers. Rounders could have done the same for poker because all it shows is cheating and hustling and getting beat up when you win or get accused of cheating. Luckily Moneymaker and internet poker saved poker and showed you don't have to be a criminal to play it.

And if it's Greens, He's be stuck 5K.

This is what I thought about Rounders
As for Rounders it was the best poker movie to date and I am surprised they didn't make a sequel during the poker boom. IMO they missed a great opportunity as the movie was left wide open.
FMP

And I don't think Matt Damon's character was the one cheating. He actually won without cheating. It was Worm who was the cheat. And if you don't think ppl cheat now, live and online. You are delusional. Sorry to say but when money is involved there will always be cheat's. Its always been that way and always will be.

Okay, so Damon's character cheats at the frat party, but he wasn't a cheat? Good read.

Sorry, but you're the delusional one if you would interpret anything I said in my post to indicate I was suggesting there are no cheats in poker. The fact is, when Hollywood decided to do a movie on poker players, they made the characters all degens, cheats and morally bankrupt people.

Of course the same can be said for The Sting, etc. Whatever - that's fine. I'm just telling you what the general consensus among players in casinos at the time was. Most didn't like the fact that they chose to focus on the shady aspects of the game.

What if somebody at the table is hungry and asks for one? Does he hog them or does he just give out cookies whenever someone asks until he runs out?
He better not say chit if i bring my own cookies next visit.
So many questions.
I'm still tryin' 2 figure out what happened to all the ciggies Worm won @ spades the day he was let out. It's possible THAT coulda got stacked on top of his 100.00 parting gift...
cigs traded inside, another 100+
cigs traded outside, 5 bux [this was AC in the late 90's btw]

I'm pretty sure there is an obvious scene where he dumps all the smokes in the garbage.

What brand of felt do you think TeddyKGB uses on his tables?

(since we're about 9 miles away from OP's topic).

Ok..sorry I forgot about that scene. But at the Cop game he was trying his hardest not to cheat and folding the nuts. Also his life depending on getting that money up.

But I could see why the players at the casino's would have had a negative feeling about the movie.

I believe KGB used the green brand of felt.

And yes Hookers give you free comps to the noddle bar. So does 20 min or so BJ or on a Slot.

If Mike (Matt Damon) is such a card shark and player, then why can't he handle his chips like it's not the first time he ever used them? Even Eric Bana in Lucky You can roll chips with his thumb. I guess he didn't go on an 14 hour a day, 6 week crash course in learning how to look and act like a real poker player.

By the way, don't Taj's comps expire in like 6 months? Of course back then the pit bosses weren't so reliant on computers to spit out the comps like they are today. They had a little leeway then I believe.

okay... so, at the end, heads up... teddy announces blinds at 25/50

so... matt damon gets kings and raises it to 1000?

and teddy makes the natural play of repopping him x3... and then folding to the shove?

or... even better, the last hand

flop is 6-7-10 and kgb overbets to 2g and mikey flat calls and teddy puts him on a draw? 6-7-10 rainbow against a trappy player = draw?

then a 2 bricks on the turn and he flat calls another ridiculously huge bet?

so... kgb's putting him on 4-5 the entire time for the river jam? the legendary "mad russian" of new york's underground poker world? sick read!

I was watching Rounders on GTV few nights ago, right after Worm says "lets get some food, i got comped at the noodle bar" Kineche (sp?) says "look whos treating to a free meal, dont let that MSG **** up your head more then it is Mike". I would assume that since Worm sat down and kited/took Mike's chips since he's busto, and was going on about "**** this low level ****/i got comped at the noodle bar" that he was lying about getting comped. Since Mike had what looked to be a decent stack at the level he was playing(5/5?) the meal at the Noodle Bar was going to be on him?

Worm had the comps built up from the spades game in the joint with the other gentlemen where he swiped his card prior to beginning play.

In the televison show "B.J. and the Bear", when he was doing those long cross-country hauls, do you think the chimp used the roadside rest stop facilities, or did he have to go to the pet area?

He took a cab to the airport. Taking a cab to the airport in NYC is more realistic than driving to the airport.
