They don't really go over any "poker strategy" from what I remember. The hands are fairly realistic too.. no straight flush vs quads bull****.

Still an enjoyable movie, with reasonably good character development and study. Best thing was the chemistry between Reynolds and Mendelsohn, they both did a good job and played well off each other. They very beginning is actually one of the most cringe worthy moments in the movie, so just be sure not to shut if off right away, but it gets good after that.
Agreed. Was just a great character study on two highly flawed individuals who need each other and the acting was great. That mendelsohn guy is super underrated actor.
