My Seasonal Poker Wish

December 29th, 2010 by richard

I think of the holiday season as a time of giving.  Although it seems I’m never able to find the perfect presents for everyone, attempting to do so is the primary focus of my attention, far ahead of wondering what I’ll receive.  Indeed, it has been quite a long time since I wanted anything specific for myself.   So this year, the fact that I have a wish for myself is a departure, even if it’s not for something tangible.

Sequel Planned for Best Poker Film Ever

December 21st, 2010 by poker

In the 1998 movie “Rounders” actors Matt Damon and Edward Norton played two friends who quickly had to make a huge amount of cash to pay off a large debt. They undertook this task by playing high stakes poker.

While the film was not a commercial success, it became a cult hit and helped generate interest in the game of poker. As pro player Vanessa Rousso described it, “There have been lots of movies that have included poker, but only Rounders really captures the energy and tension in the game. And that’s why it stands as the best poker movie ever made.”

A sequel is now in the works.
