Poker ... Blessed and cursed in equal parts ... game of chance?
Categorically no. Game of skill, cunning, control and temper. Abilities,
all of them essential to be able to sit at a table and emerge victorious,
without becoming the cousin that everyone wants to pluck. Quoting one of my
favorite phrases: "Look around at your table, if you do not detect
who is the cousin in the first 15 minutes.
The cousin is you. "There are several theories that are considered about the origin
of this magnificent card game. The most reliable or probable, is that which
invites us to think that it derives from a game in the fifteenth century called 'Poque', from
French origin. Carried by these when colonizing parts of the east coast of
United States and Canada. Do you sound the terms Flop, Turn,
River and Tilt? If you stay, we find out what it is.
Welcome Brave! I'm Noah from the Ice Room. Allow me to ask you this question:
How many times have you played Poker and have you played 2 Aces in hand?
There is 1 possibility among 221 that this happens ...
going further, in the World Series, no player who has caught them in
hand, has won the final event. Ability first of all remember. it's no use
have good letters and bad manners, and on the contrary, everything is bad
letters and good manners. Quoting the legendary players of
Yellow Poker Slim and Phil Hellmuth ... "Poker is 100% skill and 50%
luck. "" Nobody always wins in Poker and the one who says he does it, or lies or not
play Poker. Now you are wondering ... but, why are we talking about Poker?
in the Ice Room? The answer is simple. We meet
before the table game that has most often been reflected in the cinema, including
any other card game. Therefore, we are going to make a
No spoiler review of Molly's Game, Jessica Chastain's new movie. The
which for nothing is exclusively Poker, but I will recommend several
movies with a backdrop this card game that sure will not let you
indifferent ... Are you ready? Match Ladies and Gentlemen!
... The director of this movie is Aaron
Sorkin. It's his first film, but he's got a lot of experience as a screenwriter
in movies like Moneyball, Steve Jobs, The Social Network or Some Good Men.
All of them recommended brave. Well, tell you that the cast is
great because this one of my favorite actresses. If you follow me on the channel,
You will have seen it more than once, it's Jessica Chastain.
WoW! As a curiosity to say that this year is the third film, in the calendar year
let's say, it's the third movie that makes the protagonist.
The first would be El Caso Sloane, the second would be La Casa De La Esperanza and
the third would be this one that treats us. Well, tell you that in the cast we find
Idrís Elba, Jessica Chastain, Michael Cera and aaaa
Kevin Costner, who together with Idrís Elba make two great roles.
In fact, they have two fair moments Idris Elba and Kevin Costner, separately, in
2 separate scenes, which are epic. For real,
you have to notice because they are magnificent moments. They reach levels of
Brutal feelings, do not miss it. In the synopsis
we found the professional Molly Bloom. She is a former professional
skier. Well what happens is that it has ... it happens
Something that has happened to him has to change his life.
When he changed his life, he moved to Los Angeles and, let's say for life's reasons,
manages to organize the poker games more, high standing of all New
York and all of California, from all of Los Angeles, absolutely great because
They start in Los Angeles and end in New York.
It turns out that it is done with a million in commissions with those items.
Well, all this happens until the FBI arrives at your door.
Tell them I have not done any kind of spoiler. It's all as it touches. In the synopsis
says all this Well, finally I would like to tell you that it is totally
recommendable. I put this movie 7 out of 10.
Do not fail, it's very entertaining, with a fast pace and the intro has ...
It has no waste. You really are going to enjoy a lot. And you
I would also like to say some movies with thematic, no, not the same, or similar
but with Poker backdrop. This magnificent game that I love,
as you have seen in the intro. Tell them that there are very good movies like: The
Great challenge, The blow, God of gamblers, Honeymoon in Vegas,
Maverick, Rounders, Lucky you, Casino royale, which I think is one of the best
current James Bond movies, High Roller by Stu Ungar story, The grand, Shade and
My blueberry nights ... I've read them ... xD All these I recommend them, they really deserve
the sorrow. And to finish, tell you some curiosities, Molly Bloom, the real one, the one ...
well, tell you that the movie is based on the book of memories of
Molly Bloom, the real skier. Well, she decided, well, she asked Aaron Sorkin to
I will interpret it, or let's say it was embodied, Jessica Chastain and as you can see,
all a success. And, she has banned entry to Canada for ...
Well I'm not going to tell you the reason, but you know why more or less, right? Something Poker has to do ...
Well, but they gave him a let's say a visa or a kind of permit
48 hours, to be able to go to the Toronto International Film Festival, so
He could go to see the premiere of the movie. Also tell you that in the next
festival that premiered the movie was in Madrid and in Madrid it was also
Jessica Chastain. What a pity that I could not go! Because I would have loved to see her.
Maybe I would have asked for the phone, if the bodyguards had left me ... and if not
my legs would have shaken, because I'm sure buff ... in front of that girl I turn
crazy, but crazy ... woman let's say. Well, and finally to tell you 2 more curiosities,
the last, well, the penultimate, that ... forgive. 'MENTAL PIFIES' ... No! Only me
One more is to be said, and that is that Kevin Costner and Graham Greene,
It is the second time that they coincide on the screen. The first time was in 'Dancing with
Lobos', a film that I highly recommend ... from 1990.
So, having said all this, I have finished the video.
Thank you very much for being there! I love you all so much! And I quote you all
On Fridays, I'm thinking of changing the day of
Friday premiere, video premiere, Friday to Sunday.
Tell me what you would like. Well I hope you leave me everything you think in comments, if you have seen
the movie. If you have not seen it, I encourage you to see it, because you will like it. And, thank you very much and ...
We see each other, or we hear each other, as long as you want. Ciao Ciao! Mua! xxx
This I do for those who stay until the end.
The four terms that I said at the beginning are Flop, Turn, River and
Tilt. Flop, turn and river, are the three times in a game of texas hold'em,
when there are three and five letters at the table. And Tilt, it's the state of confusion or
frustration of a professional player. Many Brave Thanks!
