I had posted this "hypothetical" Rounders II plot I made up, about 8 yrs ago on CT:
"ROUNDERS II MiriMax Films:
" It's years later .... Mike (narrating), explains how he did make some money in 'Vegas for a while, but the Poker boom of the mid 2000's, & all the droves of players wanting to be the next MoneyMaker, made the variance & finding the sweet games too much for him, so he quit again ...
Out of nowhere he gets a call. It's his old law professor Petrofsky , telling Mike he's in deep trouble, both monitarily, & due to an old legal misjudgement ....
Mike owes everything to Petrofsky, & knows what he needs to do. He needs to track down Worm, who he hasn't seen in years, Knish ,& his old girlfriend/lawyer Jo, for what may be the biggest con ever pulled, & keep Petrofsky in the dark as to how he's going to help him ... & in the process, Mike realizes that KGB will have to be part of his plan, & that he still has feelings for Jo ...
