Have any of you guys heard about "Deal"? Its a new holdem movie coming out, and I think it sounds pretty good. Let me know what you think. Burt Reynolds should be pretty good as an old, salty poker pro.



Set against the world of high stakes poker, DEAL follows the story of Alex Stillman (Bret Harrison), a cocky hotshot card-playing senior at Yale University, who pursues his only dream of becoming a professional Texas Hold’em poker player. Although highly skilled, Alex does not yet have what it takes to master the table. Luckily for him, a chance encounter introduces him to retired poker legend, Tommy Vinson (Burt Reynolds) who offers to make Alex his protégé.

In the prime of his career, Tommy ruled the poker world but struggled in his personal life. In order to save his marriage Tommy agreed to retire from the game. Years later, Tommy still dwells on what he could have been. Upon meeting Alex, Tommy realizes he can regain his own self-confidence, pride and poker championship title vicariously through the novice. Risking everything, Tommy proposes a deal. As long as Alex complies with Tommy’s poker methodology, Tommy will pay for the high priced entry fees to all major tournaments.

After initial resistance, Alex agrees and the two pair up and master every tournament they enter. The winning streak and friendship between the two is eventually thwarted by the interference of a Las Vegas call- girl, Michelle (Shannon Elizabeth). The pair eventually part ways and separately prepare for the World Poker Tour. In the finals, the master and his protégé face off. Only one will take home the championship title.

It hurts to remember beats. I follow simple strategy never remember loss it can be a hurdle in playing.
