Does anyone know the name of the movie, the guy is a holdem player and he ends up playing his father heads up at a final table I think. He has Aces vs the Kings, and he folds knowing he is ahead?
The best poker movie imo for PO members who like to run it up with nothing is LUCKY YOU with Robert Duvall
Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore, Robert Duvall are in it.Quote:
