The Real Suckers at the Table?

Poker might be a whole lot of fun to play, but when it's projected on a giant silver screen it makes drying paint seems compelling.

By Mike D'Angelo

It's hard not to smirk when a movie called Lucky You spends a full year doing the damaged-goods roll 'n' bounce across the release calendar, from April to September to late October to hell with it let's just shove the thing into next spring. Cowritten and directed by Curtis Hanson (L.A. Con?dential, 8 Mile), the film stars Eric Bana as a professional poker player struggling to emerge from his father's shadow, cast by Robert Duvall; key scenes were shot at the 2005 World Series of Poker, and the film is crowded with cameos by top pros: Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Jennifer Harman. Not one of whom, apparently, deigned to tell Hanson the ugly truth: that poker, played skillfully, is perhaps the most tedious game ever invented. Poker and drama are practically antonyms, especially in the movies. And I say that as somebody who's played 25 to 30 hours of poker a week for the past several years. Lucky me.

In his book Positively Fifth Street, James McManus quotes an anonymous source who describes the World Series of Poker as "four days of intense boredom interrupted by brief moments of sheer terror." What McManus fails to mention is that the two are inextricably linked -- that the occasional pulse-pounding hands only make sense within the context of almost ceaseless monotony. Poker is fundamentally a game of patience; the best players -- even the ones with super-aggressive reputations, like Gus Hansen and Tuan Le -- are disciplined enough to sit and wait for a profitable opportunity to arise. What seasoned poker players do that amateurs don't do, for the most part, is not play. They fold. And fold. And fold. That's why you'll often see pros listening to iPods on televised tournaments whenever the cameras aren't trained on them. It's like working an assembly line in which one part out of 1,000 might explode in your face.

Consequently, movies try to create excitement by emphasizing luck rather than skill -- or, more accurately, by treating luck as if it were skill. You can see this plainly in Casino Royale, which is the most electrifying Bond ?ick in years until it gets bogged down by a high-stakes Texas-hold'-em tournament (a trendy replacement for the baccarat of Ian Fleming's novel). The climactic hand sees no fewer than four players shove all their chips into the pot, but while the icy arch-villain's full house bests a ?ush and a smaller full house, it's no match for 007's improbable straight ?ush, which he smugly unveils as if he'd somehow willed this result rather than just winning the poker equivalent of the state lottery. Hell, I could defeat international terrorism getting hit by the deck like that. So could you. So could a sponge. Move Bond just a single seat to the right in that hand and all he possesses is a license to tilt.
