James Bonds Poker Abilities [SPOILERS for the film!]

Fizman

I saw this last nite, thought it was very good.

Any comments on Bonds poker tactics. I wont comment just yet as I dont want to give any spoilers. But all of ye go watch it so we can criticise/compliment "the best player in the service".

That scene at the club, where yer man donked off his car, when he reached for the chequebook, I coulnt help meself, I blurted out, "you cant do that!!", people werent impressed

and

yer man with the eye was a slowrolling fukker!! Quad jacks, sinks his shoulder then slowly turns them over, Id kill him. and his tell was a load of sh1t too

Yeh saw it last nite, was a bit disappointed with the scenes and I heard they got pro players to help them with it. But great film and the best bond file in a long time.

Brilliant Dead Parrot.
In similar vein, I watched an episode of Hustle with gf and gf's family about 6 months ago which centred on a Texas Holdem scam - I spent most of the program screaming 'No thats rubbish, thats not how the game works' at the telly, til I was told to shut up.

Any film that features Caterina Murino riding a white horse down a beach wearing a yellow string bikini is worth seeing, and could never be the worst movie ever.

apparently John Duthie was working with them for a week or two!

I think it was suppose to be him but he couldn't do it and Casper Berry the guy from poker night live helped them instead.

RoadSweeper

quite a substancial buy in.
no wonder why there was only big name players at it?

Tar.Aldarion

How much poker is in the film?

kippy

Jaysus,
They'll be discussing the merrits of what types of gun and indeed battle tactics he was using in the Milatary forum next.
Its a film-not real.

While I enjoyed most of the film Great is not a word i would ever use in describing it and it is far to long remeniscient of the 50 billion endings of Lord of the rings

As for the poker

they are both Slow rolling Bollixs really 4 all ins on the river you cover them all with the nut Straight flush and you let them all show in turn

Although it did have my fav line from any Bond movie since No Mr bond ,I expect you to die

Bond :Vodka Martini
Bar man :Shaken or stirred ?
Bond : Do i look like i give a fvck

Did anybody else wonder how a senior member of staff of the "Queen's treasury" couldn't see the +EV in a $5M rebuy to a $10M game?

She was actually working for le Chief at that point

Baldie

Did anyone notice:

that when bond lost his hand to Le Chiffre, he was holding two spades (K, A I think), but when he showed his cards they were two hearts???!!!!!!

What's going on there?! :eek:

yea i seen that. was really annoying.

the muppet with giving out his "fake tell", which is a facial twitch large enough that its on the richterscale.

i'd give the chick one though.

Wonderful movie, great poker scenes, the whole package was the best movie I've seen in ages! Anyone who disagrees can never buy me a pint!

(actually, as a Fleming fan, I really thought Craig was great)

Bond Will Be Back!

do urself a huge favour and go out and see this, I'm going again this weekend!

Juan Pablo

Really good flick, well worth going to see just for the parkour chase in Madagascar. As for his poker skills,

Bond is a slowrolling luckbox and Le Chiffre is an Ace Rag merchant. And the Jap needs to learn how to get away from KQ sooted. Cant really blame the Mark Henry lookalike for shipping it with his 88 though.

smurph

I was a great Bond film, nearly the best one, but Sean Connery, ohh Sean.........

The only disturbing thing is there was only 2 scenes of him coming out of the water in his speedos, the injustice of it all.
