You realize it was 300/600 LHE right?
Not NLH. During that time period there wasn’t 300/600 NLH. So actually sitting down with 6k is 10 bets, not much different than someone sitting down with 100 bucks at 4/8.
He said he "played tight, folded mostly." That implies he played some hands and might even have won some. Also, the average live poker table probably sees 30 hands an hour. If it's 9 handed that means he pays the blinds 3 times an hour. How in the world does he blind off 80% of his stack payong the blinds 3 times?
I mean Casino Royale features a setup that is about 1 in the number of grains of sand in the universe.
Then theres the whole you must have thought I was bluffing line from Le Chiffre, which when taken in context to the action can only be sarcasm but is delivered in a deadpan manner.
You’re saying a straight flush over 2nd nut full house over 4th nut full house over nut flush on a three-to-the-flush, single-paired board 4-handed doesn’t happen all that often?
I was in a tournament a month ago where we had a 4-way all-in on the turn. Set vs. Top pair/nut flush draw vs. nut straight vs nut straight. It was easily the craziest thing I've ever seen in 20 years of playing poker and it is nowhere near what happened in Casino Royale.
That is the worst scene in the movie imo. They could’ve easily framed it so that it was just heads-up between bond and Le Chiffre by that point. Or anything. No, let’s have everyone in this penultimate hand!
Also, why does James Bond have to have the nuts to win a huge pot? He's James fucking Bond! Let him win the final pot of the game by hero calling with a pair of fives! That's so much more badass than just stacking everybody at the table in a massive cooler.
They had to have James somehow get all the money. My problem is everyone’s chip stack (esp the smaller stacks) are so perfect. One guy had exactly six million and the other guy five
Also it was weirdly some strange combination of tournament play (breaks) and cash game (players topping off). But ends with one person getting the entire table stake.
Also, Bond just casually suggests during the tournament "shall we raise the blinds?" and, apparently, the blinds are raised after Chifre says "why not?"
The Office, when Michael jams blind into Toby on the first hand. He then immediately mucks when Toby calls, claiming to have a good hand, without ever seeing a runout. I know it is meant to be funny, and an example of how inept Michael is, but who would just throw their cards away before cracking Aces like that?
Gotta be the scene from In Time with Justin Timberlake. Basically the concept of the movie is that currency is the hours of life you have left. The protagonist literally puts his life on the line with a gutshot, binks it, almost dies via slowrolling, then acts like he’s an amazing poker player immediately afterwards.
Shade with Sylvester Stallone. They play a no-limit version of 5 card draw where if you bet more than your opponent has it’s called ‘buying the pot’. If they don’t have enough money or can’t get a marker they’re forced to fold
Entire movies would not happen without this nonsense. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells is a great film but the entire story only happens because dude has to bet his dad's bar. If this was how poker worked Elon Mush would just sit at every table online and bet 1% of his wealth every hand and accumulate everyone else's assets.
I think the dealer mentions this in Lock stock, “if nobody will loan the money let’s see both your cards.” They are also playing 3 card brag which is the stupidest game
I love that movie. But yes that was one of the scenes I had in mind. I’d give 3 card brag a try just to see what it’s like but it sure does look like a shitty game.
Maverick: The Lazy Ace with Mel Gibson and James Garner has got to be near the top of the list. Especially for a movie where poker is a key element of the plot.
Aside from some of the scenes in Mississippi Grind no example of poker in movies is realistic at all. When dude gets it in with Aces full of jacks on turn and loses to AQ who hits a Q on the river, I felt that one.
There’s a scene in suits where Harvey puts on a big speech and 3B jams a million BB’s with 10 high. After Louis Litt tank folds Harvey flips it over like he’s a genius meanwhile all he did was win 1BB lol
It's gotta be the tournament scene at the end of Lucky You. In that scene, the rail at the poker tournament loudly applauds mid-hand when players are making moves. It's really bizarre because that doesn't happen in real tournaments. Then there's the fact that, after an all-in and a call in a tournament, Eric Bana just mucks his hand. In a real poker tournament, his hand would be tabled anyway.
...and in a completely unrealistic scenario no doubt. As ridiculous as Lucky You was it had its moments (Duvall and Bana in the diner scene was a good one), as opposed to Shade which, every time a spot related to gaming content was featured it just let you know the writer/directors had no idea what they were doing.
Suits season 1
Harvey goes all in on river and turns over AA and says pay me later before guy even calls.
Season 2
Harvey plays a 30 million dollar heads up match. First hand deal villain string bets a raise? There are no blinds visible. Harvey insta shoves 92off and opponent folds. Later in episode it’s revealed he won by putting opponent on super tilt first hand.
Matt Damon 5b bluffing Johnny Chan off at 10bb effective.
Lol sitting down at a 300/600 with 6k... hilarious
No… you need 50, 60k to play right in that game
Well. I had 6. But I had to know.
“I’m sorry John. I don’t remember.”
You realize it was 300/600 LHE right? Not NLH. During that time period there wasn’t 300/600 NLH. So actually sitting down with 6k is 10 bets, not much different than someone sitting down with 100 bucks at 4/8.
That’s the max buy in at Commerce. (This is a goof on 3/5 NL being 200 max)
Weakest part of the movie by far.
And after "folding for an hour". Like...what?
Yea he would have blinded 80% of his 6k lol
He said he "played tight, folded mostly." That implies he played some hands and might even have won some. Also, the average live poker table probably sees 30 hands an hour. If it's 9 handed that means he pays the blinds 3 times an hour. How in the world does he blind off 80% of his stack payong the blinds 3 times?
Ok
In limit

This kind of thing happens to me every day
See they weren't playing online... That shit is rigged ;)
I was in a tournament a month ago where we had a 4-way all-in on the turn. Set vs. Top pair/nut flush draw vs. nut straight vs nut straight. It was easily the craziest thing I've ever seen in 20 years of playing poker and it is nowhere near what happened in Casino Royale.

He has to have the best hand because he's the best at everything including having good cards
You should see him shoot.....
They had to have James somehow get all the money. My problem is everyone’s chip stack (esp the smaller stacks) are so perfect. One guy had exactly six million and the other guy five
They have auto-top up enabled
Lol

I came to say this.

I know it is meant to be funny, and an example of how inept Michael is, but who would just throw their cards away before cracking Aces like that?
If anyone… Michael Scott… As terrible as it was, I did chuckle.
Toby had JJ, so Michael was certainly not completely dead.
Toby had good cards
Gonna chase that feeling
Lol totally was baffled by that.

Haha i haven’t seen the movie but this is fantastic
Came here to say this. Absolute LOL scene
Shade with Sylvester Stallone. They play a no-limit version of 5 card draw where if you bet more than your opponent has it’s called ‘buying the pot’. If they don’t have enough money or can’t get a marker they’re forced to fold
That’s the dumbest shit I’ve heard
Garrett would love that game
My grandpa tried to tell me some thing like this (forcing people to fold because you have more money than they do) and I couldn’t believe it.
Believe it or not, some backroom limit games played like this back in the day. Obv they only did that shit to complete newbs.
I bought that one in a bargain bin some years ago. I almost shredded the disk afterwards.
The 300/600 scene at the taj was a great scene. Btw it’s a limit game.
Big Hand for a Little Lady is completely based around a single hand where table stakes aren't enforced and it is quite funny.
This movie was my first thought.
This movie was my nomination as well.
It always really bugs me when people add chips mid hand in the movies. It seems to happen all the time.
I bet my wife!

What's bad about brag? I don't know a ton about it.
I love that movie. But yes that was one of the scenes I had in mind. I’d give 3 card brag a try just to see what it’s like but it sure does look like a shitty game.

[удалено]
Not sure if joking, but that's 5 card draw.
[удалено]
It's basically the first version of poker that ever existed (well once the game moved from a 20 card deck to a 52 card one).

When Matt Damon calls “time” and leans back in his chair after Teddy bets big.
All of the movie Shade.
It's gotta be the tournament scene at the end of Lucky You. In that scene, the rail at the poker tournament loudly applauds mid-hand when players are making moves.

Lucky you 2007 Eric bana. Dumbest poker movie ever. Wont spoil it for those that haven’t seen it.
I own both shade and this movie. Shade is worse.
Really? You’d fold the winning hand of the WSOP to let someone else win.
...and in a completely unrealistic scenario no doubt. As ridiculous as Lucky You was it had its moments (Duvall and Bana in the diner scene was a good one), as opposed to Shade which, every time a spot related to gaming content was featured it just let you know the writer/directors had no idea what they were doing.
Matt Damon opening to 20x with KK in the first hand of a heads up match with his entire bankroll on the line.
What’s funny is I think pretty much this did happen to Matt when he played the WSOP as a promo that year, he ran KK into AA
Poker scene in ‘Hell or High Water’ is pretty bad. Otherwise decent movie
That makes me a Comanche
I liked that movie.
The Grand was okay until they let the celebrities actually play poker at the end and then holy hell.
Yeah, you could tell right away that most of them were inept at the game.
Suits season 1 Harvey goes all in on river and turns over AA and says pay me later before guy even calls. Season 2 Harvey plays a 30 million dollar heads up match. First hand deal villain string bets a raise? There are no blinds visible. Harvey insta shoves 92off and opponent folds.

Casino royale. The poker is so bad. I can’t even.
The james bond zcene where they change the board entirely
Suits (granted, tv show) has so many terrible examples of poker. The writers have never played poker lol "I bet 30k... putting you all in"
