Message: [QUOTE="BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch, post: 6569442, member: 480921"] Rounders was realistic in a lot of cases that makes it very appealing. You have the grinder that knows a game well enough to make enough to support his family and get ahead sitting in a chair for a living instead of doing hard manual work vs a kid that has pie in the sky dreams of making it big and will not take fabulous opportunities either going to law school or just winning at the lower levels consistantly who is willing to sacrifice everything because he wants a big score. That movie defined all the get rich quick folks that were willing to give up all their great opportunities to play poker. The characters were too silly and too Hollywood dramatic and the situations were too over the top but its Hollywood. John's a great actor but that "Russian" accent was too silly. And serious players do not talk that much trash like that at a live table. [/QUOTE]
