"As an ex-gambler teaches a hot-shot college kid some things about playing cards, he finds himself pulled into the world series of poker, where his protégé is his toughest competition."

Good one Rob. I was thinking more of Fezzik and Iceman.

It also stars plenty of pro poker players as themselves.

All gambling movies are good in general. I honestly dont think there is enough of them. So it makes me happy anytime hollywood shells out the bucks to produce one.

Rounders is often spoke of amoung many players as the best poker flick ever made, and I am almost 100% sure this came out before the poker explosion.

Yes, Rounders did come out before the massive poker craze began and it's still a great movie. Have so many lines of it memorized by now.
