Tonight's PTP goodness

J-HartiganJ-Hartigan
edited April 2010 in Poker Chat
Ladies and gentlemen of the Sky Poker Community ... OmaHartigan is back!

Like Alan Partridge, I'm still waiting for my second series to be commissioned.  But, in the meantime, I'm able to bring you a one-off Easter Bank Holiday Weekend Special.

From 7pm, there'll be the usual stuff and nonsense at the PLO cash tables - with Omaha put on hold at 8pm, so I can play the £6k Double Stack.

And, as usual, I'm able to offer FREE entry to the 8pm main event on Tuesday (6th) to one lucky forum-poster.

The format of tonight's competition is inspired by the winner of Monday's contest, TommyD.  We all know that 'Rounders' is one of the greatest poker movies ever made.  But, there's a few silly things in the film likely to tilt hardcore poker geeks!  So, all you have to do is complete the following sentence:

"The most redonkulous thing about the movie 'Rounders' is..."

Please post your answer in this thread.  The competition closes at 11pm.  I'll be judge, jury and executioner - and will announce the winner shortly after cashing out at 11:15.

Enjoy :-)

    The most redonkulous thing about the movie 'Rounders' is...

    It is NOT about a group of naked women trying to play baseball.

     A SLIGHT BIT OF POETIC LICENSE USED HERE JAMES :


      MOVIE QUOTES AS FOLLOWS :


      worm says :  she's really got him by the b alls

      petra        :  that's not so bad is it ?

      worm        :  it depends on the grip !








       mike mc dermott : its immoral to let a sucker keep his money !     



     


       [ his girlfriend says we don't have time for  s ex  now ]

       mike mc dermott : i will be quick , really quick , you wont feel a thing .





      but i feel the best quote/saying  in the movie and in poker in general is :


      if you cant spot the sucker in the first half a hour at the poker table,


       you are that sucker !

    The most redonkulous thing about the movie 'Rounders' is......is that in the one and only sauna scene in the movie, the background extras are exclusively male.

    Right...

    In honour of Richard Orford (it's his birthday, apparently), let's play some poker!

    I'm at Bromley - 5p/10p PLO cash table.

    the most redonkulous thing about rounders is when damon walks into the office with the poker game going on ( i think stud) and tells his boss 2 raise and then announces all the other players hands, imo impossible!!!!!
    great film tho

    Sorry I've gone quiet, but, amazingly, I'm still in the £6k Double Stack!

    We're at the first break.  I have 9,596 in chips: currently 62nd out of 239.

    It's called 'Honeymoon in Vegas' - and I beg to differ with your critical assessment :-)

    The most redonkulous thing about the movie 'Rounders' is .......

    When Matt Damon's character is watching the law professor's poker game and he is so absolutely clear about what hands are held by the players.  It would be "more realistic" if he put players on a range of hands, coming up with some percentage chance of what different players are holding, rather than the specificity of his analysis in the film.  But more important than that is the fact that the entire plot develops when Worm takes $10,000 in credit and charges it to the account of Matt Damon's character. That would never happen!!!!


    Good Luck Tonight

    Apologies for the lack of Omaha action on OmaHartigan this evening, but I'm STILL in the £6k Double Stack!

    At the second break, I have 60,690 in chips - 5th out of 59.

    Don't worry, I'm sure I'll over-play a mediocre hand like QT during the next level, resulting in a swift exit and a return to the 5p/10p PLO tables...

    I know I'm repeating myself from last time but:

    The most redonkulous thing about the movie 'Rounders' is..."

    Jonhy Chan folding a hand preflop after he willingly put a chip in it.
