Hi guys, just thought I would create a list of all poker documentary content I can think of. I thought it would be a useful reference for people looking for that type of content. Please add anything else I wasn't able to dig up from memory, youtube, pokertube, 2+2.
There's actually one doc I need help recalling; I think it was a dvd that stars or fulltilt used to sell at their VIP store. If anybody can add that one in, it'd be great. Hope you guys find this list useful.

Grinders actually looks like one of the worse ones on the list. There was a thread about it here- http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...poker-1029589/

The characters don't seem that interesting at all.

In regards to some of the other ones, you can find a whole bunch of them on pokertube, youtube or just search for the website on google (such as Busto to Robusto series). A Kid's Game, you need to have Bluefire membership.

MTV True Life I'm a Gambler was absolutely abysmal. It shouldn't even be on the list.

Good idea and I'll try to help.

It would be great if you could add a brief summary about each one and where you can watch it. If it's available online(legally obv), then a link would be awesome.


Here's my addition:



Beyond the felt

A series of poker shows going behind the scenes and meeting some of the biggest names in poker today. This was recorded in 2005 and we get to meet Negreanu, Hellmuth, Esfandiari, Harman, Brunson and many others in the Capital of Poker - Las Vegas. This is the first show in a series of 13.

Beyond the felt is great, too bad its kinda outdated, it would be awesome if they made something similar at this moment of time. Also BOOM promises a lot.

I have a "Kids Game" and both "Busto to Robusto's". Both good docs, love the Captain Zeebo one, he comes across as a bloody nice bloke.

I'd love to know where you could watch some of these docs. Post some links if anyone knows.

What about 2M2MM (2 months to 2million), with ansky, krantz and the crew?

I like this thread.

I remember a while back (preboom) watching one of those Vegas travel documentaries on the Travel channel,I believe. They followed Bob Stupak around and he had a 10k NLH heads up freezeout against Russ Hamilton.

Does anybody remember this or know where I can find it, would love to see it again.

yeah its a real shame those beyond the felt ones were removed from youtube.

They gave a really good insight in the poker players way of life say 8 years ago.

I think RNauta was leveling due to Beyond the Felt being 8 years old, but whatever, it's still a good documentary, and is still available on pokertube so not sure why people are complaining about it not being on youtube.


"A kid's game" can be viewed here (no bluefire membership needed)

There was an awesome documentary the year moneymaker won, following Varkonyi, Hellmuth, Carlo Citrone, Bush, Trumper. Don't know if it was shown outside of UK but it's still the best poker doc I've seen.
