Poker hands in movies

Which poker hands from the movies do you like?

Which ones are realistic and which ones make you LOL as a poker player?

I love the main hand in rounders at the start when he loses his hi BR too kgb.

I also like the one later on when hes sits down at vegas too outplay wsop pro.

Pretty much every poker hand in a movie makes me cringe

Can't remember any of them specifically tho.

Rounders is probably the only exception

Casino Royale hand.

How did all of the money only go in on the river I don't know. Absolutely ridiculous hand!

Although I quite liked the movie, Danny Boyle's Trance was a tad unrealistic in the poker department.

James McAvoy plays a security guard who at weekends has a home game with about 7 poker household names including Barney Boatman and Carlo Citrone.

Hmmm, likely...

He could be a security guard for a tanning saloon above a casino though...

Wasn't there four players in the hand and all went all-in on the river?

Without checking again, wasn't it flush vs full house vs bigger full house vs BOND (straight flush). That's why 5-7spades is my favourite hand. If it's good enough for Bond..... haha

There was a stupid one in Corrie too where one geezer had something like straight flush 8-Q (10, J, Q on board) and the other bloke had the AKs for the Royal.

The WORST poker hand from any movie I've seen has got to be in Lucky You.

It's towards the end of the film on the final table of the world series and Robert Duvall's character slowrolls a woman player with his straight flush to beat her nut flush.

Her reaction (after being massively slowrolled remember) is to shrug her shoulders and give a cheery laugh!

The credits list Doyle Brunson as 'poker consultant'. I think he must have been asleep in a chair somewhere when this scene (actually the whole movie) was being filmed.

Ha - slowrolls seem not to be bad in the movies!

The worst has got to be 'In time' with justin timberlake. Not only does he call 50 years on the turn

with a straight draw, but then manages to river a straight to which he then takes another 200

years off this guy who flopped a set of queens. oh forgot to mention he was also playing 4 8 off suit. he literally put his life on the line. unbelievable
