Teddy KGB's Hand.... (1 Viewer)

[longflop]

I've fell down a YouTube Rabbit hole that ended up on the Rounders final scene. I started wondering, has it ever been determined what Teddy KGB's final hand was? Might be a fun exercise. I'm thinking pocket 10's. He flopped a set, throught he was good, so tried to string him along thinking that he was against two over cards.

Thoughts?

I've seen this discussed many times on many different sites. The consensus, after long deliberation, always is the same.

Spoiler: Teddy's Hand

It was a movie.

John Malkovich didn't know. The writers didn't care. It was a series of lines used by a script writer to get to the "hard line" - a line spoken by the character that carries a certain amount of gravitas. If there was an expert consultant, the hand played out well enough that he didn't interfere.

But yeah, his hand was "two cards".

Edited "Lithgow" to "Malkovich"

Did anyone else notice that loud tire screeching sound on this thread?

At the beginning.... why 3 stacks, not 3 racks which is what he got

I assumed he was referring to the stacks of cash? I might have to watch it again.

YouTube rabbit holes are the best. His hand was probably hot enough to melt steel!

Well... Lithgow probably didn't know either

Post fixed, thanks for the heads up!

Don't look too far into the details of that movie. I am still mad Mike tells Kinish that his A9 vs AA hand against Teddy was him getting out played. Bullshit. That hand was the biggest cooler.

1. Rounders is the best poker movie I've seen.
2. Rounders isn't the best poker I've seen.

'nuff said.:
