What are some essential poker-core movies?
Lucky You
Michael Clayton (which Clooney film doesn't have poker in it?)
Pretty obscure taste there, anon.

>>67887862

Akagi isn't exactly what you want but it's pretty close.
Is poker a game of luck or skill?
>>67888471
But that's Roulette.
I know you're all your being your usual cunty selves but Casino Royale is baccarat not poker.
It had to be said.
>>67888471
75% skill, 25% luck.
>>67888471
Luck
>>67887862
God of Gamblers
>>67888540
"The game is holdem poker"
Actual quote from the dealer in the movie. Kill yourself
>>67888555
80% luck, 5% skill, 15% acting
>>67888540
Wrong, in the book it's baccarat, in the movie they play poker.
>>67888471
Yes.
Lock Stock
This thread here is essential Rounders-core

>>67888471
25% skill, 75% luck
>>67888244
i fucking hate her
>>67888471
Both since you're playing against other people.
>>67888580
This nigger has taste.
>>67888471
It's game of skill if you want to be a winning player in the long run.
>>67888471
Depends on overall skill level at the table. Basically if everyone is a good player, the game's pure luck
>>67888598
>he thinks poker is 5% skill
I want to play you tbqh.
>>67888471
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name
>>67887862
Definitely not Rounders.
People who tell you it's all about chance and reading faces are either stupid novices or lying to your face.
People who play poker competitively are all about statistics. It's basically like baseball but with a lot more numbers to crunch.
There are competitive tiers and brackets and weighing losses against wins both in the short- and long-term.
People like Matt Damon's character would get weeded out early before ever making the big leagues.

>Its a Joey Knish goes all in episode
Preminger's The Man With the Golden Arm (1955). The epo ymous hero played by Frank Sinatra is known for his skill at dealing, his golden arm.

Well The American didn't have poker.
>>67888471
If you look up game theory you'll realise it largely depends on the expectation of what a rational player will do, since playing well depends on predicting other players. But there's always an element of luck because there's no guarantee other players will behave rationally.
>>67888471
given everyone has the same luck over the long term, your long term success is all skill
Rounders is really comfy.
Good thing it's on showtime 24/7.
>>67888767
Lock Stock is a good suggestion. Not real poker heavy, but it's good.
>>67893684
You often see pros with long-term success getting mad as fuck at newbies for not behaving rationally and beating them with blind luck, it's quite amusing
>>67887862
Maverick
>>67893831
i marathoned the trilogy the other day and i gotta say... it's not about poker, at all.
>>67887862
The Cincinnati Kid.
Probably the most classic pockercore and an essential Steve McQueen film.
>>67891950
Real poker is a fun game, this Texas hold 'em bullshit is made up to cater for Americlaps with their short attention spans and low iq's
>2016
>poker being relevant
Pick one.
>>67894109
Which variation is the real deal then?
>>67894264
5 card stud
>>67888471
100% Skill w/variance, poker is measured on a lifetime scale. With efficient bankroll management, losing any one hand is unimportant.
>>67888555
why is her nose big?
>>67894353
go home grampa
>>67894353
holdem takes way more skill

I was just randomly thinking about this movie yesteday.
I guess I could recommend it to my wife and her african-american personal trainer
>>67888471
10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power and will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name
>>67895283
good job guy, exact same thing posted already
>>67888471
If you're not a retard it's mostly a game of patience. The goal is to win one big hand a night and that's it. Though you should never ever just sit around waiting for aces.
>>67894353
>not playing Omaha
Get this faggot out of here
>>67889768
nigga, 90% of the movie was about cleaning out morons who couldn't read nor count. It's called fucking Rounders.
don't miss it
>>67896181
>mendelsohn
i'm in
>>67895730
You don't count cards in poker. It's not Blackjack.
>>67896314
you do weigh your options though.
>>67888471
It's a game of emotion mostly.
80% emotion, 15% skill, 5% luck
You could have all the skills in the world, but if you can't control your greed, fear, impatience, and tilt, you won't win in the long run.
>>67888471
It's luck to play a hand it's a skill to win consistently over your life and win tournaments.
>>67896359
They acted like reading faces and tells was 90% of the game, when it's really more like 0.3% in most high stakes games.
It's literally not worth mentioning.
>>67896502
They didn't play high stakes games. All they had to know is when to fold their cards, when to raise, and when Worm could add a few aces to the game, and their experience made them successful at cleaning out amateurs. Nothing less, nothing more.
>>67896502
Then why do high stakes players cover their faces (Phil Hellmuth) and others try very hard to maintain a blank face (Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan). Tom Dwan literally doesn't move or breathe his entire body while thinking. He just stares at the community cards without blinking. You can even see tears running down his cheeks sometimes because he refuses to blink.
>>67896772
People might be unintentional tells but which is why people wear sunglasses and shit, but it's by no means a big part of the game to seek those out and/or abuse them.
