" Poker's a day to learn and a lifetime to master. ~Robert Williamson III "
Ace and Jack, some stylish names I say, When was it that I started playing cards, it was long long ago so long ago that no body can tell how long ago.I always had a liking for games circulating with betting money on them. Trade Game, I have spent days playing this, all those summer vacation I get up play tat game , sleep and play again. The cycle continued. but now I dont remember a thing in that game.
Playing cards has always amused me no matter what. We have spent nights out at hostel playing the game Trump, the most interesting card game that I have played till date. The next in the line gotta be Poker. Poker/Bridge - these 2 long time I wanted to learn. At last I did learn Poker. As soon as I learned Poker, Black Jack followed behind it. Black Jack is supposed to be the most famous casino game ever to be gambled across world wide casinos. But I found that game real crap. Poker was much much better.
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
I always had a liking for James Bond Films, I was so disappointed with Casino Royale, I thought what the heck is Bond doing playing cards ( and I didn't understood the poker game when I watched it for the first time on screen )@#@#@ , it was such a big bore.
After learning poker and playing it continuously for days here, suddenly it strike me that in Casino Royale they play Poker, the next day tat night we watched Casino Royale, wow it was interesting to watch the film this time, ennamo ellam purinja mathiri oru nenapu!!!
Long time back, I had put Rounders in my DVD rental queue since it had Edword Norton and Matt Damon, thought it must be some great action flick and queued it up. Later I got to know that the game was based on Poker, the next moment tat dvd was moved to top of my queue, it's a good movie based on cards, gambling and stuff. If you ever get hold of the Rounders DVD, make sure you watch the special features in the DVD.
The Lead actors Matt Damon and Edward Norton were both sponsored by Binion's Horseshoe Casino in the 1998 World Series of Poker tournament. Damon was seated at a table with poker legend Doyle Brunson. Norton was beaten holding a full house by Surinder Sunar holding four tens. Damon was beaten about an hour later by Brunson. Damon went all-in with pocket kings, Brunson called with pocket aces and said "I hate to do it to ya, Matty." When asked if they would ever play in the tournament again, Norton said "Anytime they want to stake us $10,000." - Wikipedia
