Your considerer is broken.

Not my consideration, watch the intro again

I will 'Like' any post that properly uses the terms "cogent," "chocolate fence" or "considerer."

Ahh yes, co-gents, similar to co-ladies.

Lol, it's a M.O.V.I.E., not a sacred text.

The Cincinnati Kid. What a great movie and a phenomenal cast. A smokin hot Ann Margaret, Tuesday Wells, Edward G Robinson, Steve McQueen, and Karl Malden. Damn! “You’re good kid, but as long as I’m around, you’ll always be second best.”

Agree to disagree.

Blasphemy!!

Right? They were operating on the idea that the public didn't understand the game.

Another maffs is hard moment: $10,000 check -- ignore the check cashing fee. Double it to $20,000. Then double it again to $40,000. Minus $15,000 to KGB/Gramma. Minus $10,000 back to Petrovsky. Minus the other $5,000 back to the Chesterfield ...Leaves $30,000?!?

I didn’t get it either the first 20 or so times i watched the scene and it drove me nuts. i think they are implying kgb reloaded at some point in round 2.
when they go for round 2:
mike “double the blinds?”
kgb “tayble stakes”
mike “feel free to reload at anytime”
kgb “akyay” (or “fyahk you”) ..not quite sure what he says there lol

"You won't feel a thing."
"We both know that's not true."

I've seen the movie countless times as well and I know I haven't watched any other movie more times than I've watched Rounders. Norton and Damon are really great together and their friendship seems so genuine. Great movie! Side note, Matt Damon plays poker nothing like Mike McDermott.

Well, they both act the same way when they have strong hands. They both want their opponent to think that they're pondering a call, but all they're really thinking about is Vegas and the fucking Mirage.

Lmao well he plays better under the direction of John Dahl.

I think the best line from the movie is when Mike says "Hey." after Worm berates him for his never ending string of luck.

 

[WedgeRock]

You must have forgotten when he fumbles over, "it's just bad business."

 

[Saoliver]

“You cops? You look like cops.”
“We’re not cops.”
“You wanna twirl then?”

 

[SiouxperStack]

This extended scene is probably old news around here, but I do think that it makes the hand against Johnny Chan more exciting, and showcases Mike's skill better than in the cut-down version that's shown in the movie.

Mike sat down with 10 bigs and bluffed Chan. Pretty fucking amazing.

Has anyone here ever said to themselves "I'm going to outplay the guy. I'm going to outplay this guy this hand!"? I have. It's never worked.

You forgot the Sting.
Paul Newman sets up his mark in a poker game to swindle him out of half a million bucks.

Usually it’s “I’m going to wait this guy out, let him step in it and give all his chips to me”
I don’t ever need to outplay anyone in any hand. I just want your chips when it’s time to cash out. Simple as that!

Does anyone know what the inlay looks like on the Chesterfield South chips?

I think that was a joke about how the entire table plays at the Chesterfield in New York. The Chesterfield is the place where Worm puts Mike in debt.

A set of those popped up on eBay once. Don’t remember the denominations though.
