Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool.
- lol wow
Honest to god you had me looking up Poker Bustouts. Completely forgot I saw this documentary until I saw The Cowboy in the description. Gritty counter punch in 2005 to the media hype and fan fury over the poker boom. So that's kinda my take - I forgot.
Both The Hustler & Rounders are art and story telling set amidst a back drop that was new and revealing to the audience. The happy endings are stock in trade. Thats art for the masses and sometimes it works. Losers overcoming adversity gives me hope.
Poetic license isn't a sin.
Poker is a simple story. Simpler material for the writer. Koppelman took a big bite with Billions. Far more complex. Two worlds to explore and collide. 12 plus episodes was suitable real estate to tell the story but your asking a lot.
Lol at thinking a thread about billions isn't already terrible
sanlmar:
I don't think there's a forum poster alive who writes better posts than I saw you write the other night. You got talent.
lol wow:
So I got talent? So what beat me?
sanlmar:
Character
Is that dialogue from the awful show billions
If you don't have encyclopedic recall of The Hustler script then off to the Trump thread you go with the rabble.
In before Hustler mag recall
Rofl saaaaaallllyyyy
Reality check:
Rounders is about a gambling addict who gives in to his addiction and throws away any chance at a normal future.

What did your dad say to you about your love of dark black Jamaicans that you claimed did music
This show is so fucking bad, even great actors on it seem like sloppy hacks.
Eric Begosian looks like he's in a high school play.

Tine please just stop. Homeland is a mess but Billions is legit top 3 writing.
I should know, I played cards with a writer from the show.
Edit havent seen episode 3 yet
3 is good.
I enjoyed it any ways.
Starting to more than Homeland.
I just found out Kate from the DA's office is Ahmad Rashad's daughter. Where's yur burkha bitch?
I remember being so naive as a kid watching NBA INSIDE STUFF and not even realizing what horribly dispicable piece of Sharia Law Cuh-Ran reading Muzzie trash he was. And he wasn't even born into it. He chose to be filth.
ohhhhhhhhhh so this is basically Entourage.

The show is good but the psychiatrist is tilting . Her importance is so unrealistic it takes away from the show imo.

Was I dreaming or was that poker episode a real thing? Maybe the worst poker related content ever on TV. I don't think I can ever look at any of those characters the same again. I actually liked the he/she but now that's ruined for me.
I haven't seen ep3 or 4. Not sure where you guys are at now
I couldn't see a reason for a season 2. Then Taylor, Dake (and Dr Gus) emerge and I'm thinking we have something new to work with.
If there was some gratuitous poker scene then this thing may have jumped the shark. Too bad.
I will have to watch to see if this somehow rips off the true story of Solomon Bros Chairman John Gutfreund playing Liars Poker for a million dollars no tears. If there is any hint the show is dead to me.
