I just went and saw the new 007 movie yesterday, Casino Royale. Aside from being an excellent movie, I thought I'd bring up the part where they play high stakes Hold 'em at Casino Royale. Aside from being an excellent game to watch, it was also an interesting insight into different tactics used by players to win themselves a hand. The bad guy character, Le Chiffre, using mathmatics and odds to work out his players, and Bond using his uncanny ability to read his opponents, and call their bluff.The amount of money involved in this game was ridiculous, espaecially when the pot reached a total of over 100 million. The type of game played in the movie was updated from the book to the now popular Texas Hold 'Em, and I think it works a treat, keeping the flow of movie absorbing and providing a stimulating game for poker fans and non-fans alike.
What did you think?
