No doubt!
I watch it on the regular.
Elliot Gould is on top of his game in that movie.
Jeff Goldblum is so young in that movie but just as whacko.
The movie is very realistic to me.
I think that is a credit to Robert Altman though.
Dealing your own game in poker rooms used to be a thing.
Those days are gone like the days of people playing pan (Panguingue).
Jackie Gaughan loved to play that game, on the regular, at the Plaza.
Interesting Note is that I played a bunch of Mexican Poker in California for a few years.
This was before the Texas Hold'em No Limit Boom after Moneymaker... you know... when playing poker was more of a niche or cool/underground thing.
Late 90's and Early 2000's.
I never played its cousin, Asian Poker though... I think that deck was 32 cards instead of 41.
I also played a bunch of lowball as well up to the 60-120 limit.
The action in the 20-40 Limit Hold'em games were insane!
All of this fun at the Bike of course.
I wasn't much of a Commerce Player.
The first time I realized you could eat at the table and get a massage I was awestruck lol.
Fun Times.
I miss them.
