The Poker media thread

Itsover4u

Thought it would be nice to have a thread where people can post any good documentaries films or other interesting poker media contained in one neat and tidy thread :-)

I am happy to start this off with a short documentary I watched the other night on Jason K o o n s (would not let me spell it) WSOP entries into the $111.111 and the Aria 500k highroller both in the same week.

Also includes little snippets of Ivey esfandiara haxton etc.... really good watch

(scroll down the link for full video about 12 mins in length)

Hey Tikay was nice to play with you, even playing a game I am sure I would be a loser at without studying. Fortunately I did ok and just mixed a few games in with my regular heads up grind :-)

Love the double points!!

You too bud.

I saw you cashed in that £11 jobbie played together. I never.......

There was one really incred player in that, had me all tied up every time I took him on. We are supposed to "put players on a range". Good luck doing it against that Gent. He won 3 from 4, too. Incred scenes. 

I was a bit wary of you, as I know you are a good short handed player, so I tried to keep out of your way for the most part.

A really fun evening.

Planning on doing half hours study later a may jump in a few more later. Best of luck sir, it was a pleasure

Todays first video to add to the library is a great documentary on the late & great Dave Devilfish Ulliot. Somebody rescued this from a VHS and it is a fantastic watch.

The Video follows Dave playing tournaments and dodgy high stakes cash games in somebodys living room / basement.

Some typical Devilfish guitar playing and singing is also involved.

Another great Docuentary made fairly recently.... a must watch.

Filmmakers follow a new generation of Internet poker professionals during the meteoric rise and sudden crash of the multibillion dollar online poker industry during the 2000s.

Unfortunately this movie costs $3.95 to watch and I dont intend on breaking copyright laws

You can get a taster from youtube including the isildur fairytale..... brilliantly put together and very proffesional documentary.

Documentary 2 is one of a Kind: the rise of fall of Stu Ungar..... 1 word..... incredible

For those that have never heard of Archie Karas I feel it is my duty to inform you of this unbelivable true story.

If you never read anything again read this!

The guy went to Vegas with $50..... the journey is incredible

Echo Jimi's post, this is a quality thread and looking forward to catching up with those links I've not seen previously.  Keep up the good work!

Agree that another version of 2m2m would be well received. Should have gotten some of the Sky regs to sort that (with a lower cash target lol) while they were all out for the Vegas packages.

Every poker players house should have a tilt room

Thanks for this, just started watching it. Didn't realise someone offered to buy half of Moneymaker's WSOP action then withdrew because he lost the $5K (playing online?). Reckon it'd take me a lifetime to get over that...

Ok some lighter hearted media today, some may remember this guy. A cool level headed poker player known only as TUFF FISH
