Poker Player Reacts to Casino Royale's Ridiculous Poker Scenes 

I'm pretty sure the 'main event' of casino royale was 'winner take all'. so it was essentially a tournament but chip values were as marked.

Daniel Craig was the only one of the four guys in the final hand who didn't already play poker. Mads Mikkelsen said that it was painful having to lose to a guy who sucked at the game

“At least he doesn’t slash the pot this time - never mind I take it back” 😂

Gotta do the classic, rounders

The fact that this super giga cooler happens with everyone pretty much 10bb effective really shows that the poker consultant was just an OMC used to min buying in and limp calling at his local $1/2 game hoping to hit the bad beat jackpot

The mind-blowing thing is that Casino Royale HAD a Poker consultant.

When a table is opened the dealers do announce the new table stakes. Also when a table transitions from one game or stake to a new one because boss wants to spread the games out. Tournament directors also announce the formatting. That part was accurate. NOW THAT DEALER TALKIING EVERY 5s. I thought I talked a lot.

Casino Royale is not exactly cash game. It's technically a tournament. The buy in is the face value of the chip you are playing, last man standing takes all the buy in accumulated. I just assume the tournament fee is paid by Le Chiffre or the winner, considering Bond gave a 500k tip using the plaque used in the game.

You can think that this is for a cup, but one is for drinks and the second one is ashtray

10/10, please react to basically all the poker movies. Obviously Rounders, but Lucky You would also be a good one. Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't jumped onto the reaction content train yet! Your comedy style and overall involvement in the poker community is perfectly suited for it! :)

I think it's Tournament play because when they announce the stakes he mentions 10M initial buy-in and 5M rebuy. That plus the blinds makes me think this.

My wife rolls her eyes whenever there's a poker scene on TV because she knows I'm going to rant about it. But THEY NEVER GET IT RIGHT dang it!!!

You should do "Billions" Poker scene where Taylor Mason reads Todd Krakow. As a Poker Player, this was the most accurate and craziest read/hero call that made sense. Better than Rounders, any of the James Bond BS, and anything else I've seen out there.

This was one of the first poker games i saw in a movie. It sparked an interest in playing recreational poker for me, and I started to learn a lot. A couple of years later, i watched it again and cringed the whole time 😂

I feel like you left out the actual sins in the movie and nitpicked about scenes made for non-poker players. For example, it was completely ridiculous for Le Chiffre to say “you must thought I was bluffing Mr. Bond” when it was an obvious cooler.

actually a good serie to do !! go for it mr. all in

In the final scene, the pot was around $150M. Bond shoved for ~43M and LeChiffre called for a bit less, let’s call it $40M. The other 2 players left shoved for a combined $11M. $94M went into the pot on the river, meaning $56M was bet before then. Using this deduction, here were the stack sizes prior to the last hand: Long haired Asian - $20M (20 BBs) Black man - $19M (19 BBs) LeChiffre - $54M (54 BBs) Bond - $57M (57 BBs) In the movie the game was a winner-take all tournament, so these stack sizes are fairly reasonable for the game. Not to mention they’d been playing for roughly 2 days. Also, the game in the beginning of the movie wasn’t a proper “casino” run game, it was a game run in the lobby of that resort, hence the weird tables and loosey-goosey rules

1:07 I love his reaction when splashing the pot. 😂

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" I feel your pain

I forget the name for it, but it’s an actual style of tournament. Your stack represents your cash buyin. Blinds go up and people go busto like a tourney, but instead of playing down to 1 remaining, they stop after a certain period of time and everyone still in cashes the dollar value of their stack.

Rounder and the Cincinnati Kid.

Just watched this movie for the first time and was so frustrated by the poker scenes that I searched for a video like this one as soon as it was done...I know next to nothing about poker, so I can't imagine how silly these scenes must look to a pro lol

This movie also came out in 2006 which means it was filmed sometime in 05-06 range, the game of poker is nothing today to what it was back then, not saying the poker scenes are very well represented but looking at it through todays lens yeah its an archaic representation

The dealer does this weird shit so spectators won don't play poker can understand what a flush/full house/straight flush is.

While in Prague, I went to the casino where Casino Royale was filmed. It was a total dump 😬

1:18 the car he was betting was a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 and was worth WAY more than the $20,000 cheque he was about to write, it was probably worth more than the combined stakes of that entire table and 2 or 3 more as well, a good one can sell for over a million USD.

eat seat has two cup holders for a water and a mixed drink. You'll see this at higher end tables. By higher end i mean 200k+

I 100% agree, I always cringe in poker scenes in all movies.. LOL.

Didn't know Hannibal was a high stakes poker player too! 😆

I'm watching Casino Royale (2006) right now on cine transat, and because I'm a newbie in poker, I had to watch this video.

Your thumbnail said “poker player” reacts to movie poker but it was actually just you.

The Grand is really underrated for a poker movie.

This was awesome!! I am so glad that I'm not the only one who gets chest pains watching these cringe-worthy movie poker scenes. The one that really makes my eye twitch, though, is the last scene of Rounders. Watching him string bet while splashing the pot... too much! 😱

bro i swear to god, the room i work at, that is how the players want you to announce they are in the blind.

Bro do this same video for "Mollie's Game" I think it's a little more accurate than these James bond movies lol. Great content regardless!!

Thank you! I couldn't stop laughing at your analysis of this movie. Needed that laugh. Yes, the movie is silly, but it was written to be that way. Lots of poker scenes completely fail, but, thanks for the laughs :)

Loved this. Big film fan and a very casual poker player, some of the movie scenes are pure comedy

This is hilarious. Still love casino royale though.

Bond being an intelligent spy may have been portraying he’s a punter by splashing the pot making his opponent think he’s bad. 🤷‍♂️

the exposition wasn't too stupid, but the pot splashing, the bad stacks, and all other forms of general poker etiquette could have at least been acknowledged. people playing for that much money would at least try to make the chips be organized for all the side pot action, for sure. everyone just chucking their chips into the pile makes no sense without the assumption that the biggest stack is just going to win and take it all.

I found it hard to believe that a casino in Montenegro in Europe would use US dollars in the stakes, surely they would use Euros, in the original novel (written in 1952 and set mostly in France) all the money exchanged was in Francs (France's pre Euro currency)

This scene is what your mum thinks you are doing when you say you play poker.

Very funny reaction, and the poker scenes in this movie were particularly bad. It was a tournament though, even though I don't think they specifically say that. It was 10 million buy in, 5 million rebuy, winner take all. There was no leaving early or cashing out.

It’s a movie. And it’s entertaining. Hard to be critical of the poker scenes. 97% of people can’t tell the difference.

S5 E5 of Brookly 99 "Bad Beat" is pretty accurate with poker, might be worth reviewing if you want a palate cleanser. My friend showed me a clip from a movie where a 3 way hand goes Quads vs Straight Flush vs Royal. I've tried to find it but I can't for the life of me.

When buy in is 10 mil the dealer better say every possible sequence of events, and show how the cards pair on the board.

They started with 1000BB, that's a deep stack tourney.

Trinity poker scene from 1972 lol because no one would have any idea what this is.

A6 offsuit isn't a bad hand to shove with only 10BB remaining in your stack.

Yeah the Casino Royale game in the end was a winner take all tournament.

Yeah it would have taken minimal effort to have the poker scenes make actual sense. NLH was really big at the time so a lot of people watching this in the theater would have had at least some basic knowledge, enough to know how ridiculous it is to play 5 7 suited in that way, or at all really.

I think it'd be hilarious of you to react to poker vloggers hands just to stir the pot 😂

I loved this!!! So funny!! Please make more please. If you make another one I’ll buy another hoodie.

Wait a second.. I stack my chips in 10s

Hard to believe this was the movie that got me into poker looking at these scenes now is def laughable! .007/10bb killed me at the end 😂

Bruhhh - I’m always making fun of casino royales poker scenes 😂😂 SERIOUSLY, WHY NOT JUST CONSULT A POKER PRO 🤯 aiyah

they need to do a serious game but instead of holdem, do go fish lol they will still make it look silly lol

Not to mention the whole fact that the U.K. is buying into a ten million dollar hyper-turbo with British taxpayer money!

I remember tilting SO hard watching this movie for the first time.

Check out Lucky You

Me before learning how to play poker: wow this movie is so cool, Poker is rad! Me after learning how to play poker: this movie is so dumb…

I'm a Pokerplayer and i hate Pokerscenes in Movies

It’s not a cash game, it’s essentially a SNG

4:14 They said "24 million" not people.

I’ll have to disagree slightly with an analysis you made here. Bond played with crappy 5-7 hand because he was big blind anyway.

I love the fact that they showed him tipping the dealer a nice!!!! tip they never show stuff like that in movie 🎥

I didn’t see the preflop action, 75s could be perfectly reasonable to be in with there. Especially as table chip lead.

Tbf it was a tournament they announced . And cinematically its brikliant but not at all accurate to poker scene , but still fun to watch but even as a rooki3 poker player this hurts lol

Those are bad hahaha. Check guy betting close to his entire life in a gutshot straightdraw in "In Time".

STT that starts 1,000bb deep and is down to 10bb - that’s some weird hyper turbo format lol.

When are you reviewing Shade or Mississippi Grind like this?

Rounders and Molly's game

$800 RIVER JAM INTO $19K LMFAOOOO

I’ve got the poster for the movie “Deal” with Burt Reynolds in my garage (I have a garage full of shitty movie posters) and have often wondered exactly WTF is going on there. Bret Harrison (who?) is holding his cards oddly, about to bet two chips into an enormous pot. Meanwhile, his opponent looks like he has only one card and - well the whole thing just looks stupid. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_(2008_film)#/media/File%3ADeal_ii.jpg

React to the Card Counter

Dealer (in a cash game): The big blind is now one million dollars. Bond: Aight imma head out

Poker scenes in Suits make my chest hurt too

Gotta do Lucky You…..

I rate 69/100 for Eva Green's grand canyon

Mollys game! Lol

Shaun Deeb made a reaction to this and made a total tit out of himself. You got some stuff wrong but at least it wasn't a train wreck like the Dweeb Bucket.

Scenes from "Lucky You" and "Deal" would be interesting.

do rounders next

Now this is content

Rounders and Cincinnati Kid please 🙏!!

ITS SO TRUE, poker scenes are NEVER accurate. I was just watching Blacklist the other day and they had a poker scene, got it all in on the flop and only put out the turn, no river....LOL

Finders Fee (2001) reaction please more of a home game setting

You have to do rounders

The Casino Royale poker scenes were awful. Many of the comments on RU-vid were even worse and much more stupid. 😂

Someone is on drugs

Should do the poker scene from In Time too.

Haha I JUST watched this movie last night. The dealer was pretty convincing! I like how Bond called with a full house but only bc he thought the villain was bluffing

Mississippi Grind is number one poker movie of all time and it only has like 3 poker scenes lol. It's really about being a degenerate gambler!

Ty for the review

Mississippi Grind. Its a pretty decent movie if you haven't seen it. Stars Ryan Reynolds.

Ty Greg!

Molly's Game

Do a reaction video for Mollys Game

Gotta do Shade next!

geve that men his monee
