thread_title: Stub?

message: Am I missing something here?  The article states that "However, Mike's nines full of aces are beaten by KGB's aces full of nines and he loses everything."  Nines full of aces would be a full house with 3 nines and 2 aces, right?  And aces full of nines would be a full house with 3 aces and 2 nines, right?  So they're playing poker with a deck with at least 5 nines and 5 aces? Phanatic 14:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Johhny Chan - Rounders.jpg

message: The plot description says that KGB is using the Oreos to decide what he should do. But I think the Oreos are actually his "tell" -- if he breaks the Oreo beside his ear (or possibly if he eats it), he has a good hand. If he breaks it in front of him or doesn't eat it, he's bluffing. At the end of the movie, it's made clear that Mike notices KGB breaking the Oreo by his ear and eating it and comes to some sort of realization. I have only seen the movie, I haven't heard the audio commentary or anything else, so I don't want to change the article if what's currently in the plot description has been confirmed elsewhere... help?

message: It should be mentioned that the final hand between Mike and Teddy mirrors the final hand of Chan and Seidel, complete with the flopped straight, the three checks by Chan/Mike, and the all in bet by the loser on the river.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.20.119.229 (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
