Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 3648623, member: 23910"] This whole discussion should probably have had a spoiler alert on it BTW, but anywho... *shrugs* I think you're missing the point - the way he played the hand was so that it [b]didn't[/b] look like he had AA. In fact I suspect getting into a five-bet pot preflop [i]against your Dad[/i] and then just folding would be a pretty good way to get yourself caught (or to get your opponent to fold their hand - which is the opposite of what he wants). It's been ages since I've watched the movie, but IIRC the way he went about it did a pretty good job of making it seem like he had some other legit hand that could still lose (his backer thought he had QQ, right?). Which, one assumes, is what you'd WANT to do when you're breaking the tournament rules to dump chips to your Dad. As for Duvall "knowing" his son had AA? Call that dramatic license. [/QUOTE]
