I've seen this may times & always cry at the end LoL I will always remember the first time I saw WPT on tv, as well as the day I logged into Full Tilt & saw the notice from the FBI. It was a good run while it lasted.
12:00 in the late 70.s i was stationed on an aircraft carrier and a guy showed me a defect on the back of a deck of bicycle cards. it was tiny and only on the ace of spades, whoever first found it must have gone over the deck with a magnifying glass, but once you knew where to look you could spot it , i won more than a few bar bets, i should add that out to sea we worked 12 hour shifts, and down time was little to do , be very careful playing against ex sailors , if nothing else they have tons of expierience!
Cheating at poker? You bet it is out there. I used to play at bars in Louisiana. It was legal as long as the house did not have a rake. (Basically, if you won a hand, you were expected to tip the dealer $1-$5 depending on the pot size. If you did not, when you came back to play the next time, the empty seats would always be "reserved" for another player, and you could not sit in anymore) I was stuck one night for about $800, and I caught a player with a couple of cards up his sleeve. He was good, but I felt something was not right and finally caught a glimpse. I grabbed his arm and let everyone see it. The bar owner refunded all my losses for the night, and I never played there again. I saw him in another bar that I went to play at about a week later, and announced to everyone he was caught cheating a few days ago. No one got up, and one woman proclaimed they knew he was a card sharp, but let him play anyway....That made me think they were all likely cheats as well (or just real degenerates?)
my nephew was in the first gulf war and they were given decks, each card had a person on it , for example i think the Ace of spades was saddam hussein , i believe those cards are collector items now and worth a few bucks, it says "Desert storm" on them.
If you can start with a decent stake. You can make a living playing pokeer. If you kose the idea of getting rich. If you play tight and just go for one hand an hour or two. And you just win $20 each hand. Thats $40 an hour. After you are at the table for 8 hours you get up and keave and come back the next day. It takes discipline though $40 an hour x 8 $320 a day. Thats $1600 a week. Not bad for playing a fun game . But it sounds a lot easier than it is. As said you definitely need a bank roll to start out cause some days you are just not going to win anything
Dude left out the part about how Amarillo Slim won that WSOP. He didnt. There was a back room deal. Doyle didnt want the press attention, so they split up the winnings and Doyle lost on purpose.
@@officialghetty Quite the opposite. Doyle had seen a lot of shady stuff up till this point (inc being at a table where another player got shot, and being robbed). He was uncomfortable with the amount of press the WSOP was getting and didnt want to be in the spot light. Slim however was the opposite. So a deal was struck. Slim became the ambassador, did press and the talk show circuits. The rest is history.
Rounders should have been made for $2 million (23 million would sound pretty good on that) and Matt Damon should have done it for 40% of profits after double break even. Instead, he got paid $600k and the movie was made for $12m (expected loss would be $500k, probably made that up by now.)
Just one modification there: I don't believe Annie Duke was part of the Ponzi scheme that Lederer and Ferguson committed. Annie Duke was never mentioned in the lawsuit. Her brother basically hurt the family legacy.
Very harsh to say about all his cash and family, it's a deceptive comment, and technically not 100% true. More on that below. But first, I offer one sort of clarification to your statement: In this documentary, Moneymaker admitted he was a drunk and a degen before he won the 2003 WSOP. There's a 2018 article in ESPN. com about him, and a 2013 article about him in the Las Vegas Review Journal. I encourage you to read these articles to learn more about all his life, not just for the couple years after he won the WSOP. about him. Also, some necessary additions to your comment: Your comment only applies from after the won the WSOP in 2003 until 2005. Yes, it's sad that, in 2004, he and his then-wife divorced, having one child. His ex-wife didn't like that Moneymaker was traveling a ton as part of his sponsorship with PokerStars. However, in 2005, his life changed for the better. Chris remarried during that year, and currently has 3 children with his current wife. And he does just fine with money. He is sponsored by America's Cardroom, and he runs the MoneyMaker Tour. And the LV Review Journal states: "Moneymaker also works to support efforts to increase female participation in poker, along with regulated online poker in the U.S. Nevada is one of six states, along with Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, to have legalized online poker." Per the ESPN article, regarding his traveling for poker: "But for the last decade or so [going back to 2008], I just go back to my hotel room. I quit smoking and now rarely drink, maybe a little sometimes socially. I basically go back to my hotel room to either watch Netflix, watch a poker video or play Fortnite with my son and then go to bed." Unfortunately, some marriages, even when having children, don't work out. But it sounds like Chris has a pretty good life now. It's not really cool to disparage the guy and only talk about his life pre-2005. Why not mention stuff about his life after 2005?
@@harold7792 he’s a public figure so I can judge how I wish. Along with its a fact before the WSOP he had a family and a life now he’s a bum. So yes the WSOP ruined his life. What’s $2.5 million when you’re a degenerate!
1:01:25 Vanessa, thinking her generation in those after have it right by gambling online to make a living. Do you know what small percent of online gamblers are actually profitable? Then how many online gamblers are actually so profitable they could make a living off of it and pay for a house And healthcare etc 😂😂😂😂
i love rounders but that judges game where might has everyone clocked was a bit much, William Goldman who wrote "Butch cassidy and the sundance kid always regretted that he had sundance shoot the bad guys gun belt clean off at the blackjack game. i just cringe at that judges game.
So if I buy into a tournament that pays 500 K to first place at 300 K to second place etc etc … I technically have a chance to get Rich playing poker every time I enter
@@officialghetty 100% you have a chance. People can’t fathom this. If you just research for two minutes on UA-cam there are tons of stories to support this.
Moneymaker comment about being the best player at the table against Farha was laughable. Everyone feels like the best player when they run that hot. But what else had he won in the 20 years since?
He specifically says "in that moment, at that table" meaning he isn't talking about the years since. That day he was best. What evidence do you have to dispute that?
Stu was the GOAT. He came back over a decade later and mopped the floor with the new gen. If he was still playing today, he'd shame the young kids. His reads and genius mind was amazing!
It's a fine game. Until someone came up with the idea of skills being more important than luck. Anybody can beat Phil Ivy at the table - nobody beats a "lucky" bot.
I actually bought this DVD recently because I couldn’t find it anywhere online anymore. Thank you for the upload!
One of the best documentaries on poker!

So much bullshit in this documentary.
Thank you for this. Was an excellent watch.
Great Documentary about the Poker Industry and the Highs and Lows.
Live Poker is still alive and well in 2024.
I now.would like 2 play😮
Especially now with poker solvers. Kids just run programs and let AI decide their moves. Literal bots.
Thanks for this. It had been ages since I watched it.
Brilliant documentary/movie on poker
lol I think Cincinnati kid is the best poker movie but rounders definitely 2nd great movie too
Fabulous movie. I do love everything about POKER.
Amazing movie!

According to IMDB this movie is from 2009, in case you're wondering why it feels a bit dated.

34:00 vince is of course also an actor, little known fact, all actors are the same height. even the women . basically 5 ft 4.
Why are they blaming the government and not Howard lederer, Ferguson and Duke?
