Why the fuck did you lay that down His fake Russian accent got worse when he was bluffing. If he was bluffing, he would separate a cookie, and then put it down. When he had a good hand, he'd separate the cookie, then eat it.
Quoted: Oreo doesn't need the creme filling to be good. View Quote That he had gotten rid of his obvious verbal tells. But, nope, he was letting out a stream of disclaimers there, too. And of course KGB had one himself with his Aces.
Young, blind, ignorant love gives way to experience and harsh criticism. I love Rounders, but no one can argue it depicts realistic high-stakes poker scenes. But you could also argue that realistic high-stakes poker scenes would not make a good movie. So why are these things in the movie?
Are they supposed to be there? What does it mean from a scriptwriting perspective? Did they know that these were very obvious tells? Like in an action movie, when the hero hides a second gun behind his back and feigns fear when his main gun has been taken away; these are just ways to make our hero or villain more conniving and clever. If these tells are there as a result of the screenwriters not realizing what these things meant, you could say that these tells are actually the tells of the screenwriters themselves.
But I could be wrong. Although then I would argue that it is still possible to create dramatic table talk that is realistic, too. Michael is also the same guy who wrote a most awesome review of my poker tells book.
Mike then folds, turning over his hole cards, saying I'm laying this down, Teddy. Mike then narrates The rule is this: you spot a man's tell, you don't say a fucking word. This also happens at the beginning of the movie, in the hand that makes Mike go bust: However, when Teddy is bluffing, trying to represent an Ace against Mike's pocket kings, he splits an Oreo while looking at it instead: What is Teddy KGB's tell?
Improve this question. First time I saw this movie, I thought the tell was that Teddy KGB decided what to do based on which side the cream-filling ended up: left half of the biscuit or right half :.
Shouldn't Mike have been mad if he had lost his ability to read his tell? Couldn't this mean Mike was not affected because there is another tell entirely we are missing, just as we are led to believe the side of the Oreo the cream was on was the tell,1 level deeper some think eating the Oreo on good hands was the tell, one level deeper, but Mike didn't care about the entire Oreo tell system.

They're constantly talking trying to act weak, when they're actually strong, by saying things like: "Position raise. I call. Improve this answer. Good point about KGB putting the Oreo back in the box after his bluff fails.
Howevrer, in the film, when KGB says "It's a position raise. I know, that's my point. He's trying to act weak by talking, but he's actually strong. Basically he's trying to make Mike think oh he's just calling because he thinks I'm raising with anything, so he is calling wide here. Likewise Mike hits a monster and get's coolered, but he's talking to keep KGB in the hand by making him think he's gambling. You see bad and or new players doing this a lot in live.
Talking when they're strong to act weak.
