Poker Movies

While I was on a brief hiatous from writing I watched many movies. One of them being a movie called The Grand. It’s a movie about poker and the hilarious outings of the poker community. Actors in the movie include Woody Harrelson, Cherly Hines, David Cross, Ray Romano, Gabe Kaplan, Micheal McKeon, Jason Alexander and Hank Azaria. The movie is a spoofy movie. It’s stupid funny and ridiculous. There are many poker pros in the movie. Pro’s like Daniel Negranu, Phil Gordon, Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Phil Laak. The movie was not worthy of an oscar but it was mildly amusing. Other poker movies like Rounders are more in the drama aspect as this one is a spoof. Woody Harrelson plays a casino owner who has a bad srug problem and is in trouble of losing his casino. I am a huge poker fan I love the game and it is a growing phenomenon if you never played poker I suggest you do because it is the most fun you will have. Have fun get out there and check The PPA (Poker Players Alliance) join the cause.

My Poker Stuff

Hey all it’s Wednesday January 21st and as I write this today we start a new chapter in the history of the United States of America with are new president Barack O’Bama. It is well known that he is the view that online gaming should be regulated by the government and possibly be illegal in the states. Which I don’t personally feel that way but if that happens what can you do. The PPA (Poker Players Alliance) head by former Sen Al D’amato has been gaining support to legalize online gaming. If you haven’t relized I’m a big poker fan. There isa show on sunday nights usually at 10 pm on 1067 WJFK washington dc called Mediocre Poker Radio hosted by Brett Oliverio and Eric Bickle from the Junkies. There morning show includes a lot of poker content and every couple of months they have a big tournament for all of their listners at the Borgota in Atlantic City NJ.  I strongly Suggest you check out the Junkies Podcasts. You will find these guys to be the straw that stirs the drink. Also MediocrePoker.Com and Support Brett and Eric they have a great show where they talk to pro’s and chronicle thier play and hope to improve your play with tips that have worked and have not worked for them.  As always if your online at any of the sites look me up my player id is DASWONDERKIDD.

He goes one night to Teddy KGB (John Malkovich) underground game where the big boys play. Teddy is connected to the russian mobs and is a bad man. Well Mike goes in and loses everything to Teddy including his case money for law school. Now he goes to friend Joey Kinish (John Tutturo) to help him go staight. In the movie he decideds to quit poker and work. When his good friend Les “Worm” Murphy (Ed Norton) gets out of prison he slowly brings Mike back into the poker world. Worm puts Mike in a terrible spot and now it’s a race against the clock to pay the mob before they start breaking stuff. Movie is a really good cast with Martin Landau and Milla jovavich.
