you wont learn much about strategy, but it shows how people make their livings playing in underground (and some online) games in toronto... plus it goes through significant events taking place in their lives at the same time... well done i thought

enjoy

i got free tickets to this. going today (sat). hopefully its not as embarassing as the trailer looks.

Pretty funny how nearly everyone posting in here has made such bold and definitive assumptions and assertions on this documentary based on a 1.5 minute long trailer...

You're all braindead

I agree. This isn't a film trying to show "the poker lifestyle" nor is it meant to put poker in a bad light. It's a look at three people in the TO underground world--none of them particularly successful, but none total degenerates either--and at the director's own involvement in that scene. It will certainly make you laugh at some of the silliness of the individuals, but it treats its subjects as interesting people with stories to tell. And the film's desire to make a larger point--that as the director became more involved in the poker clubs, he was also being told the odds against his wife's pregnancy coming to term--added a certain poignancy to the whole and made it ultimately about something more than poker. I was glad I went. (And it was fun listening to the home town crowd murmur under their breaths at certain moments, such as when the player Danny tells the guy on the other end of the phone that everybody knows he plays better after 10 drinks! Watching him fall asleep while playing online is also priceless.)

lol thats the point of a trailer

btw nice to see you, mr protagonist of the film,

17s in and he berates a fish...

Where is this playing tonight, it wasn't listed on the pages linked.

TIFF Lightbox.

Sup Bro!

It will, I believe, eventually be available at www.hotdocslibrary.ca. But I don't know how long you will have to wait. (I got the impression last night that it will be broadcast on TVOntario, so I would guess at least not until after that.)

Probably not for some months.

He berates a fish for playing fours incorrectly (lol), therefore I root for the hero to go busto

Shouldn't be unlikely since it's apparent he plays way underrolled and seems to have a very non-professional mindset

thx for the share op

Not to sound too much like a second grader, but did anyone else notice the co-writer's name is Michael ALLCOCK? Seriously, it is. That's now my SECOND all time favorite name behind former Major League Baseball player Johnny Dickshot and just above another former Major League Baseball player (and son of former Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall) Pete LaCock.

Others in the running: Bobby Cox, Chin-Ming Wang, Gary Peters and anyone with the last name of Johnson or O'Toole.

Looks so good!!!

No. That is not the purpose of a trailer. Nor a book cover, for that matter.

ooooooh, blonde....

thought for sure he said blunt

Looks good dude, screw the haters! Like it or not this is the life many of us have chosen.

A Kids Game trailer was miles ahead of this.
