Smh.. the odds are in the high millions that teddy has the only two cards in the world that could've beat him ..and he had them..the last two Aces on the planet..I would've been devastated.
So Matt's got 2 pair when the flop comes out and raises 2 grand. Ohhh, but he needs to keep Teddy in the game. So he knows he still loses to a 3 of a kind, right? Tedster could have had pocket 8s and he'd still win. With how quick Tedmeister called that ridiculous $2000 raise why would you assume he was "working" on a flush? I'd assume he had 3 of a kind all ready, which he would know is the highest possible hand of the game so far. The fact that Teddy never hesitates to consider Matty might have pocket 9s and thus a 4 of a kind might give a clue that Tedola was confident he had the mathematically highest possible hand given the 5 on the table.... which he did. No wonder dumbass lost all his money. Oh, and he didn't notice that Oreo munching thing? With as obvious as it was every time the guy played?
Great scene! FYI in the KGB dialog, I thought he said "Baron in Tehran" instead of "Burn and Turn"...it confirmed my ties to Iran and KGB (the individual and Russia) HAHA 💸💸💸
Great scene but nothing beats my prial of 3s playing Brag in 1992. The last guy in the pot against me had A,2,3 of spades. I was only 19 at the time and won £720 which was like a months wages to me back then. Ill never forget the rush of adrenaline when i looked at em. Then the terror of thinking no one would bet with me.
Sometimes I have a really strong hand but then the way the opponent is betting, I just know I have lost, but its near impossible to fold, like a full house or flush.
I think you’re absolutely right, but all the chips would likely go to the pot, anyway, because if we’re going by your perceived logic, in that we’re talking about two seasoned high-stakes gamblers in a heads-up hand, the player in TKGB’s position would be a bit foolish not to go for max value there, and would likely shove, himself, and the opponent would almost certainly read that as a made flush (ace-high, maybe) and call. You can’t fold the full-house there, for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because the likelihood of boat-over-boat is so very low. It’s one of those take it on the chin, if ya got it ya got it situations
Isn't his strategy here the exact opposite of what he did at the end? He baited KGB with calls until he stepped into the trap--the exact thing he is warning the audience not to do in the beginning of the movie.
My friends who casually play think this scene is too movie material drama, or someone was cheating to get this result. Whoever plays poker consistently knows, you don't need to stack the cards to have a cold deck. This shit happens more often than you think, it's just the nature of poker.
Yeah it does. It is actually crazy to think about, but I often wonder if there are people who played that were great poker minds, comparable to the top players that play, but got chased off the game by a protracted string of bad variance. Every WSOP champion was one bad beat at a critical point from not being that champion. It is crazy how good you have to be to maximize whatever cold or hot deck comes your way in order to actually be a profitable player.
Cadillac of poker? Cadillac in the 90's amounted to heavy, large, ugly, overly soft, terrible handling, and comfortable vehicles. How does that compare to Texas Hold-em? If you mean fancy or high-end? Why not compare it to a Rolls Royce? Cadillac was a joke back then and only gave off the APPEARANCE of being high-end. I've worked on enough Cadillac's to know what I'm talking about.
Big error in this scene. matt damon never showed his hand to KGB. KGB assumed he won and started taking the chips. KGB had second best nuts to four 9's. which matt damon could have had. he had to either show his cards or muck them for KGB to take the pot. It would be funny if Matt super slow rolled his 4 9''s as KGB goon starts scooping chips. "NO WAIT KGB WHAT THE F%^$ ARE YOU DOING. I GOT 4 9'S . GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY CHIPS..
KJB string bets on the river & “time”? C’mon!
no dealer ????
Smh.. the odds are in the high millions that teddy has the only two cards in the world that could've beat him ..and he had them..the last two Aces on the planet..I would've been devastated.
And Matt Damon shows Poker of 9´s and take it !

You know, I always thought that Matt Damon was like a Streisand, but...I think he's rockin' the shit in this one
Teddy got lucky. What if Matt had two 9's? Oooooo BIG Ace high full house! It loses to 4 of a kind.
Pay that man his money... he beat me he tricked me...😎♥️
Would've been a short movie had Damon's character had pocket 9s.
Best line everyone should know...everyone goes bust from time to time....been there
terrible overbet on the flop good lord. Bet 20-30% of the pot as the aggressor there.
Great scene! FYI in the KGB dialog, I thought he said "Baron in Tehran" instead of "Burn and Turn"...it confirmed my ties to Iran and KGB (the individual and Russia) HAHA 💸💸💸

This happened to me so many times
Lmao so the pot is 5k and this dude bets 15k on the river?
he was not cold decked, there was no reason to go all in.
Terrific movie, worst Russian accent ever.
Going all in on that hand is one of the silliest moves here. I don't think any high stakes gambler would actually reraise like that.

1:37 "HOPE" That's where he made his mistake. Only the arrogant overly confident individual would bet off of a "HOPE"
Do you still have the truck?
Who on earth has their lifetime savings on the table ?
why he hold AA but not 4 bet or 5 bet until all-in
He could of had pocket 9's ?
Weird he walked away like it was the nuts. Alternate movie damon slow rolls pocket 9s lol
HE STILL COULD HAVE QUADS 9 MATH he should wait before victory :)
I didn't know Will Hunting played poker
so KGB just assumed Mike didn't have 99s?
Aces fool Mike lol
This movie gets the ASMR stamp of approval
I find it funny that if Damon just flat calls which of course he would never do with A9, he would lose the hand and still be up for the session!
You know kgb has a monster hand by him announcing a reason foe him to call before the flop.
Theres something about gambling that's just fundamentally degenerate.
Agreed.
This movie is impossible to find anywhere
can't believe john malkovich didn't hyiv spides
The younger Matt Damon movies are absolute masterpieces
"Life is walking the wire...rest is just waiting".
if they are "all in" they must show down if not the guy who call must show last pff noobies
the only flaw in this scene is teddy knowing he won...mikey could have had pocket 9s

The sizings in this movie are so off-the-charts insane that it's clear both screenwriter and producer had no idea about poker.

Yeah this scene isn’t that outrageous. The final hand in casino Royale however….😂😂

The bet sizing on the river by KGB is ridiculous.

It's a gut punch no matter how many times I see that hand.
anyone know what "case money" is?
What a great fucking movie
How did kgb know Mike wasn't holding 99
Who calls time during a card game ? That was a little childish.
