Mikey Reads The Law Table Cold - Rounders | Classic Poker Scene 

The "I can't.... I don't play cards" after just calling out everything at the table is great.

Love it xD

+The OG BigTimeDre which one?

Rounders

***** It is, but that's part of the joke of this comment xD

nice lol

high roller - the stu unger story is pretty good.

This is by far the best poker movie ever made.. It started the whole big poker movement (along with Chris Moneymaker winning in 2003)

nobody at this table is looking for or caring about tells other than Mikey

Not really. That was before the last card. He could have made his straight because after that he didn't give away any tells.

Yeah, but its hard to bet against someone who knows what you are holding.

Good movie trick nobody is that good?

@@leeb905 i seen some people that are crazy good I'm working towards that too but it will be challenging

@@blaze7386 I can see maybe guessing one hand like Daniel does. But not the exact cards of the whole table.

​@@leeb905 you're absolutely right! Negreanu is a great player. I reckon it's possible if you know the players. Since it's a film, I guess they don't have a lot of time to show Mike study them but it is funny to see it takes him almost no time to do so. I think it's done for effect. Mostly to show the skill difference between them.

They're playing 7 card stud

some of their cards were shown on the table 7 card stud .. 3 cards are not shown while 4 are shown ..

That is a fascinating observation that is right out in the open but I never put words to.... Omnipotent _MAAATT DAAAY-MON_

eidetic memory of history books doesn't solve math equations that no one else can.

You could have just did he made a bunch of good movies

Looooooool amazing reference

Chris Diamond niiiiiiiice

Hahaha oh man!!! Awesome reference!!

Nice entourage reference

Are you mocking me ?

+TideFan Yankee the same people don't anymore... the game is about algorithm and intelligent play now... these little wisdoms don't apply today

Patience - yes, but experience is very inflated because of online poker, and observation serves very little purpose in today's poker, if any at all.

+Pascal Johnson It's not the same people anymore largely because there are so many more good players than there used to be. This film came out in 1998. In 1998, the WSOP ME had 350 entrants, and its 9-handed final table represented 2.5% of the total. In 2003, the year Moneymaker won, there were 839, but in 2004 it jumped to 2,576 and it's never been fewer than several thousand since. Last year there were 6,420 entries and that wasn't even the largest; its 9-handed final table represented 0.14% of the total. The little wisdoms still apply, but nowadays you'd say instead that better players have more consistent deep runs, not that they always make the final table. +TideFan Yankee Physical tells aren't as informative as you might think. There are other ways of reading cards. Daniel Negreanu does it by getting inside opponents' heads to try and duplicate the trains of thought that lead to how they bet their hands, and he's remarkably good at it. (Not as good as we see here. No one is as good as we see here.) +Jokubas T Which is why you still need to be observant. Even online, you can observe how your opponents bet.

good comments, very intellectual

Yeah they did when there was 30 entrants

+Estudante Part of it is definitely for appearances. Judges and prosecutors are government employees, and in a lot of places they have to get reelected every few years. Their salaries are still pretty good but less than they could be making in private practice where they can charge $100 an hour or more if they want to.

I'm a consultant and my friends are bankers, and we only do $200.00 pots lol.

EnemyAce88 lonely much?

+yusuf islam the difference is you don't have a million bucks in the bank, and nobody gives a shit about your garbage financial skills

no, I don't think anything about you. I know you're stupid and a lying sack of shit

Terminator 2

quality333 Last I heard a sequel was on a list to be made by the studio and scheduled for release in 2011 or 12 but obviously it hasn't come out yet and I haven't heard anything since. Off topic Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises were sequels I know not everyone likes them but just saying.

For some reason there is very small demand for poker movies unless its built around a love story or someone with a compulsive gambling addiction or where poker plays the supporting role and not the main role or theme of the movie

quality333 The Godfather 2 didn't achieve success to a lesser degree. A vast amount of people believe it to be better than the first.

would only work if Norton returned as Worm..the rest of the cast can be changed out if necessary

Nice catch.

Oh yeah. That's him from The Sopranos.

not if two pair believes the guy repping the 3rd three has trips

Cincinnati Kid, my son.

Sick.

when someone tells you what you have and bets with your boss money its less about the odds and more about the confidence .. + its a friendly game .. the shock and awe made the most of effect .. and like it was said at the beginning they were not real card players

They did. Scelza and Marinacci

youl namgoong hahaha good will hunting

Quit while you're ahead, he's got nothing left to gain, plenty left to lose by staying

Blasphemy! The golden age of RU-vid was in 240p.

are you lucid

He read the script.

+AmericanGothic1313 Sounds about right...

+Timothy Li I believe they were playing stud. Notice on how 5th Street they each got a card face up.

They playing Stud you dummie.

Kailer, they're playing stud, not hold'em

It's too hard to get good at for most of today's players, IMO. I love it, don't get me wrong, but it's a dying game. I grew up playing it and am quite good at it. Over several hours, I can take all of someone's money, and they'll probably have a good time while it's happening because I love playing cards and shooting the shit. It's a slower paced game, for the most part. NLHE isn't the Cadillac of poker, it's the crotch rocket speed bike of poker, and PLO is the rocket-powered jet ski of poker. NLHE is perfect for skilled players because they can turn over inexperienced players with great regularity, but the inexperienced players have a fighting chance. I played in a lot of fairly big ($10/$20) stud games, but the highest I get to in LHE is about the same and the highest I get to in NLHE is $5/$10 and only if the players are really, really juicy (not even rolled for it). I've also played on a few occasions a 10/25 PLO game, but that was only a couple of times. This isn't a brag at all, it's just to point out that the bigger games are usually in these "community card" games, and the risk of ruin is much higher in those games, as well. The higher variance definitely favors the inexperienced. I haven't played stud in a casino since the 2016 WSOP in Las Vegas; even with 3 local casinos, no one spreads it. I got to play Omaha 8 a few times here when a new one opened, but no more. The more complicated the game, I think, the more people that like playing it really like playing it. Look at Bridge, that's a damn hard game and I'd love to play some more of it, or even just Gin, but no one wants to play. They'd rather play Euchre or NLHE. It's fast, it's fairly easy to get excited about, and there's less confusion for players because there's only 3 streets, fewer decision points.

If he made his straight then of course he'd bet and the result would have been the same. It takes very little knowledge and skill to bet a made hand. The whole point was that he knew he could buy the pot, which takes extreme skill.

A busted straight in Stud is a good hand to represent a made straight on in this spot. This scene really isn't as impossible as people make it out

Negreanu literally has compilations where he calls out player's hands exactly.

@@cosmoskronos5489 but not the table’s.. only heads up.. this isn’t real. Standing there for a half second upon introduction. You don’t know lag from tag.

@@igglesjawn3975 I lag and tag my balls on your wife’s face nerd

@@cosmoskronos5489 sounds like loose aggressive to me.. definitely not tight

@@igglesjawn3975 Weird I said the same thing about your wife

7 card stud. You get 2 face down cards and 1 face up cards. Then, 3 more face up cards and 1more face down card gets dealt to each player, with betting rounds in between each card. Betting rounds start with the player who is showing the highest poker hand. You get 7 cards total and whoever makes the best 5 card hand with his 7 cards wins the pot. It's generally played with a betting limit, unlike hold 'em which is played with no limit. Double hold 'em would be called Omaha (hold 'em). In Omaha each player gets dealt 4 facedown cards. 5 community cards are dealt the same way as Texas hold 'em. Players have to make the best 5 card hand using 2 of their own hole cards and 3 community cards. Omaha is generally played with a pot limit. So bets may be no bigger than the amount of chips already in the pot.

thanks for the detailed explanation!

Omaha hold 'em is the surviving evolution of a dead variation called Tight Hold 'em in which the dealout is the same as Texas Hold 'em but instead of being able to use 1 hole card or even play the board, you must make a hand using both of your hole cards.

Negative, double holdem is different from omaha.

rounders

thats what actors do, they pretend

+J bLACK if it was down to two or three players going at it, he would but not a whole table full of players who all called.

+J bLACK you should watch WPT and watch Daniel Negeanu call out hands just like that when it comes down to one on one.

+Seisman 75 But even he can't do a big multi hand read like this.

Justin Gomez I agree. That's my point.

in 7 card stud this type of read becomes possible on a table of tellboxes

They're playing stud. There is no board.
