Rounders is almost unanimously the best poker movie ever made.

Each player’s dealt two cards.

You’re trying to make the best five-card poker hand.

So using your two cards in combination with the five community cards to make the best hand.

It would probably something a little more subtle.

So a lot of the scenes in Rounders are underground games, and this is a real thing.

You know that you’re always going to be able to cash your chips after you win.

In an underground game, you don’t really have the security.

I generally tend to avoid the private games because of all these pitfalls that could happen.

So being a bit cagey here and looking to trap.

These emotions may be starting to creep into his play.

So I think that’s what’s happening here.

I would give the scene in Rounders an eight out of 10.

Tough to be too harsh on Rounders.

I think the only nitpicking thing that is wrong with Rounders is bet-sizing issues.

However,Roundersis even more highly regarded among actual poker playersfor its accurate portrayal of the game.
