Five Famous Fictional Characters In Poker Games
It is very easy to pick the favourite professional online poker players, if you follow them from the crowd of brilliant and bold. But what is the twist in fiction? Not all of these characters are tournament worthy, although their stories have a few of our favourite fictional robberies, advices and obviously, poker games.
Rusty Ryan of Ocean’s 11
With soft and shiny suits which he keeps clean the entire movie in spite of the continuous snacking, Rusty not just plays pokers, but even teaches its rules to other stars in the movie, who are total ingrates. He keeps a straight face as he observes Danny Ocean sling poker metaphors left and right as well, which takes a right constitution of steel—never mind the robbery they’re pulling. And in case we forget, he happens to be bright enough to pull off that robbery on three biggest casinos of Las Vegas. Rusty practically invented the smooth criminal. You can also learn the tricks of playing online poker.
The Gambler of Kenny Rogers song The Gambler
The Gambler turns a whole litany of poker metaphors into a song, a song that rhymes. Talk about skills. The Gambler’s advice to the singer isn’t just true for poker, but for the big Texas Hold’em poker table of life. The singer, having learned well, takes the Gambler’s advice to heart with a poker metaphor of his own. Try to play Texas Hold’em poker online.
Henry Gondorff of The Sting
If you haven’t seen The Sting, you’re missing out on some of the finest motion-picture-making of the 20th century. Just see the film. Paul Newman plays online poker genius and robbery-guy Henry Gondorff opposite his partner-in-crime Robert Redford. Gondorff and Hooker manage to pull off a scam so elaborate that it not only covers poker playing, but also horse racing. It’s also a scam within a scam. That takes total genius, and they pull it off amidst the crime-ridden ragtime backdrop of Depression-era Chicago.
James Bond of Casino Royale
This is the movie which reveals tuxedos, martinis, bond women, a twilit Montenegro and a swanky casino, plus a robbery-in-progress. What’s not there to love? Nothing, and that’s why James Bond got to the second spot on our list. It’s a plus that he plays in a super-high-stakes offline or online poker tournament, in spite of drinking a poisoned drink, all while remaining the courteous badass we know and love. Nobody wears a suit like Bond—and nobody fans a hand of cards like him, either.
Teddy of Rounders
Matt Damon’s Rounders protagonist Mike McDermott definitely deserves some love, but he’s just not as crazy as KGB (Teddy). KGB is a Russian mobster with a penchant for Hold’em who easily scoops up the talented McDermott’s $30,000 bankroll. From the maddening way KGB gently picks apart his Oreo cookie to the utter lack of empathy he feels when he casually destroys Matt Damon’s life, KGB is nuts, and we love the fickleness. If you are a cinema lover and a poker lover too then lets start to watch this films first then play online poker.
Have a happy online poker time!
