lol at casino royale

[Renton]

the poker was just as lame and mavericky as i knew it would be

[Bmxicle]

yeah but how did he lose?

[Renton]

str8 flush vs top boat

[elipsesjeff]

I don't think it was THAT lame. I expected much worse and was pretty impressed with the movie as a whole. And, he didn't have top boat he had 2nd boat.

[gabe]

post HH?

[takesix]

post HH?

Bored at work, in between games.

4 way AI on the river, but stupid odds wise... like 24M pot on river with one guy AI for 6M on top of that, next guy AI for 5M, evil villain reraises for 14M or something and Bond shoves.

Board something like Ax 8s 6s 4s Ax

Guy one flips A high flush.
Guy two flips 88 for eights full of aces
Ebil villainz0r flips A6 for aces full of sixes
Bond flips 7s5s for the turned gutshot straightflush. obv.

[elipsesjeff]

Yeah, the only cheesy part was the 4 way allin on the river, alla Maverick style. The movie itself was VERY good.

[mcatdog]

I wouldn't have minded that the poker was lame if it hadn't lasted so damn long. The whole second half of the movie was really boring and slow and not at all what I was hoping for from a James Bond movie. From what I've heard so far people who huge fans of James Bond, such as myself, have been pretty disappointed that the movie didn't have the panache that Bond usually has. But people who went to the theater without those pre-existing expectations enjoyed the movie more.

[Ravageur]

I've watched almost all the bond movies, and I enjoyed this one as much as any other although it was a big change in style from the others. I like that they mixed it up. I can see how some people wouldn't like it as much (a lot less action, more character development, cheezy romance stuff)

Anyway the poker scenes are fucking hilarious IMO. Man we were laughing so hard in the 4 player AI hand when Bond turns over the nuts. Me and Genitruc were like 'LOL SHIPITTTTTTT'
would've been way better if he actually said that though...

[Genitruc]

WTF you guys are forgetting the best hand where bond gets the shit coolered out of him he calls AI top boat and loses to quads

[Ravageur]

Haha yeah and everyone berates him about how it was his 'ego' that led him to make the call with AK on an AKKJJ board. AWESOME

[Genitruc]

shit that s right it wasn't even top boat

easy fold

[Genitruc]

oh and btw i think the opening action sequence is the best thing ever . fuck the matrix that shit was real

[ensign_lee]

If they bought into a tourney, why were the chip denominations calculated using buyin?

Like if they bought $10,000,000 in, then they'd have $10,000,000 in chips.

They're in a tourney; who needs all those damn zeros?

Other than that, I enjoyed the movie.

[ensign_lee]

Haha yeah and everyone berates him about how it was his 'ego' that led him to make the call with AK on an AKKJJ board. AWESOME

Yeah; I was like WTF? I don't give a damn if I don't have ANY reads.

I'll call with fucking third nuts every time.

If the other guy has AA or JJ, FUCK ME. Definitely +EV to shove my chips in there. "ego" my ass.

[Margin Of Error]

Haha yeah and everyone berates him about how it was his 'ego' that led him to make the call with AK on an AKKJJ board. AWESOME

ROFLMAO, i was busting up at this part. I also love how the villian is like "What did you think I was bluffing? Quads Bond, ship it."

[givememyleg]

only in the movie sguys only in the mnovies

[ilikeaces86]

I would of just called his 3 bet with AK on that board.

[a500lbgorilla]

IM TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING SPOILERS IN MY MOTHERFUCKING THREADS!

[ChrisTheFish]

I long for the day bond says ZOMG, WTF! PWNED, SHIP IT!

[Toe]

They love the min-raise.

[Renton]

I HAVE HAD IT, WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SPOILERS, IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING THREAD!

[Irisheyes]

WORST FILM EVER.

It's retty good at the start then it just turns into a fucking gay rom-com half way through.

Don't go see it.

[Seasider]

Couldn't agree more, the building site chase is excellent. I think he will make a really good bond if the scriptwriters give him a chance.

[Margin Of Error]

You cant compare Casino Royale to the last 3 Brosnan films, its on a whole nother level.

[gabe]

who staked bond to play in this game

[bigred]

British and American governments

[Seasider]

When I see the thread again I also liked the bit where the baddy poker shark is playing some heads up cash games on his yacht. A guy bets at him and hes like -

'I have 2 pair and you have a 17% of making your straight; ALL IN"

Preachy table captain, way to maxamise his value!

[bigred]

I just read this thread.

You guys are idiots...movie was great.

[WildBobAA]

great movie, the poker was amusing

one day i'll be playing a 10 million dollar sng with a 5 million dollar rebuy

[swiggidy]

one day i'll be playing a 10 million dollar sng with a 5 million dollar rebuy

Don't you need a 1 billion dollar roll for that?

[mcatdog]

I just read this thread.

wrong

[bigred]

Had to have the lovey dovey scene to set up bond's lack of trust for anyone after this experience. Duh. Action scenes were great, so was directing.

[spoonitnow]

I don't think it was THAT lame. I expected much worse and was pretty impressed with the movie as a whole. And, he didn't have top boat he had 2nd boat.

[NWNewell]

I'm not sure what all you guys want. Some hated the poker, some hated the panashe...

This was suppose to be the first bond ever.... He just got promoted to 007 status and this movie (bonds experiences through it) made him the "playboy 007", not trusting anyone, with all the panashe we love. (hence, he fell in love, was betrade by the women he loved and she was killed, making him the bond we see in all the movies)

And second, it wasn't a poker movie... the poker had be be able to be understood by the general public... and well... it is a movie, so everyting is sensationallized. I bet you all didn't get bent out of shape when Rocky Balboa was standing toe-to-toe, slugging it out with his opponents? I mean, come on! When is the last time you saw a heavy weight fight like that? There is usually more ass grabbing than punching. But it's a movie. It's just entertainment, not a documentory... and it works.

I really liked it. No, the poker was not great. No, it didn't have the same panashe (but the new Star Wars don't have the same feel as the old ones either... and it is not suppose to). But I was entertained!

I'd watch it again! I may even by the DVD.

[Genitruc]

wtf poker was AWESOME

only thing missing was subtitles

when bond slowrolls his straightflush, subtitles read "SHIPIT"

i just feel like repeating : opening action sequense is mind-blowing.

[bigred]

Anyone else think the people complaining about the poker are equivalent to the star wars geeks who show up in robes and complain that character X was actually Character Y and this ruins the movie now!

[Rondavu]

The latest Star Wars movies were ridiculously bad, and star wars fans who swear by them are utter fking retards. Lucas should shoot himself in the face and call it a day. One of my friends is not necessarily a star wars fan, but liked the movies. I said "Those movies sucked ballz", and he said "Are you plugged in!", as if I had just spewed forth a bucket of helacious blasphemy. I cracked up laughing, because those movies were truly fking aweful, and there is no room for negotiation on the matter. It's not an opinion, it's too bad you're an idiot if you don't agree. That's how sure I am that they sucked.

I will refrain from further ranting, because I don't want to be mistaken for one of those idiotic star wars fans who dress up in the gear and such. I just thank god they aren't reproducing very often, and when they do it's with someone fat and ugly. Fucking lunatics.

[bigred]

Anakin, you're breaking my heart!


Funniest line of the movie. Even Natalie Portman couldn't act her way out of Lucas' poor diaglogue.

[Rondavu]

Natalie Portman couldn't act her way out of Lucas' poor diaglogue

LMAO. Quote of the year.

[Renton]

the new star wars movies were worth watching. The story was good. The effects were good. The acting was decent. The script and dialogue sucked. The directing sucked. These movies prove that Lucas is good at writing stories, but sucks at writing screenplays and directing films.

[bigred]

darth maul was cool

[LeFou]

Who do you think would win in a fight:

James Bond

or...

Every Single Pansy Jedi from Episodes I-III, all at once and armed with machine guns?

[Seasider]

"ANAKIN: Don't be afraid.

PADMÉ: I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit
each day since you came back into my life.

ANAKIN: What are you talking about?

PADMÉ: I love you.

ANAKIN: You love me?! I thought we decided not to fall in
love. That we would be forced to live a lie. That it would
destroy our lives...

PADMÉ: I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway.
My love for you is a puzzle, Annie, for which I have no
answers. I can't control it... and now I don't care. I
truly, deeply love you, and before we die I want you to
know."

Bond wins?

[a500lbgorilla]

is it a reflection of my poker talents if i thought this hand was standard by all players?

[Pelion]

is it a reflection of my poker talents if i thought this hand was standard by all players?

its almost certainly a reflection that you suck

[bigred]

Not sure why I laughed so hard at this response.

[LeFou]

Anakin: If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.
Padme: I can't... We can't... It's not possible.
Anakin: Anything is possible, Padme, listen to me.
Padme: No you listen! We live in a real world, come back to it. You're studying to become a Jedi, I'm... I'm a senator. If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, it will take us to a place we cannot go, regardless of the way we feel about each other.
