Film Description: John Dahl directed this exploration of New York private clubs devoted to high-stakes poker, with first-person narration from the film's central figure, law student Mike McDermott (Matt Damon), who loses his entire savings to Russian club owner Teddy KGB (John Malkovich). Mike then turns away from cards, devoting his attentions to his law studies and his live-in girlfriend Jo (Gretchen Mol), who's concerned when Mike's former gambling buddy Worm (Edward Norton) is released from prison. She has good reason to worry, since it takes Worm only a matter of minutes to draw Mike back into poker action. When she learns Mike has returned to the poker clubs, she moves out, and Mike begins to lose interest in his studies. Worm has a pre-prison debt, and the threatening Grama (Michael Rispoli) wants the money. Mike not only indulges the irresponsible Worm, he gets involved in Worm's debts. When Grama demands $15,000 on a five-day deadline, the two buddies go into high gear with a non-stop, no-sleep gambling binge that spirals downward toward an ultimate confrontation with Teddy KGB. Darkened club interiors and New York nights are captured by the cinematography of Jean Yves Escoffier, who moved from French films (the 1991 Les Amants du Pont Neuf) to American movies with the reflective surfaces of Excess Baggage (1997) and the patina of pathos found in Harmony Korine's experimental Gummo (1997). Shown at the 1998 Venice Film Festival and the 1998 Montreal Film Festival.

  • I love how they scoop the pot before mike shows his hand. Quad nines out of the question? Wait till he leaves the room then slowroll 9-9. Ya gg teddy lol

  • бет фифтин саузэнд

  • @torr59622 Yeah that's probably Kid Poker's biggest flaw: vocalizing the right read and knowing the right decision, and not acting on it. Too many videos I've seen him read that he was beat and he still made the tough/bad call. On a positive note, I WON MY FIRST TOURNEY! Actually chopped 3 way. $40-10 and left with $230! lol small stakes I know but it was still my first. I'm 3 out of 4 now on at least making my money back. Lol spent the last 4 out of 5 days in AC and now i'm pooped..

  • Daniel Negreanu was in a hand on High Stakes that he had a mini boat and got re-raised. He named the quads or bigger boat that was going to beat him, and called anyway. With all that money in the pot, no one wants to lay down the winning hand, so hero calls are few and far between. Good Luck in Live tourn! Hint for live: Squares who peek at cards and are nervous have the nuts! fold! lol

  • @torr59622 Lol I guess this is the mentality of the character Mike, because professionals at the elite level are able to at least consider folding a losing boat. He probably holds himself to a high standard and expects himself to make those hero laydowns. I'm angrier about them finally taking down the whole film off of Youtube. Now I gotta buy the dvd to find inspiration. Wish me luck, I'm about to play my first LIVE tournament.

  • @GaChristianHY Nice catch. His bankroll risk was really the issue. But he later tells Kinish that he "got outplayed", which isnt really the case.

  • @torr59622 More like a cooler. A bad beat would imply that Mike was way ahead at one point in the hand and KGB got lucky post-flop. In this case, KGB was ahead right from the beginning, so it can't be a bad beat. Happens in poker, and is the main reason why Mike shouldn't have played his entire bankroll.

  • They could have picked a better hand. Like give Mike the flush and when board paired, he didnt slow up. All this is, is a bad beat. No one is laying down his hand. Cmon.
