After watching this movie, I had the illusion that gambling can also become a serious occupation. Because professional gamblers will evaluate risks and stabilize returns. The most reliable strategy is to wait for an opportunity, wait for a big name to come, and then control the situation, make a reasonable judgment, lead the king into the urn, and obtain high value. In fact, gambling is not a one-time victory over your opponent, but a continuous and steady, slow gain from the hands of those who are weaker than you.
But even so, Texas Hold'em is not a rationalist's game.
Because Poker is not simply calculating probabilities, there is All in. And once All in fails, it means an irreversible game over. In fact, such extreme situations rarely occur in human society.
I really like the two games at the beginning and end of the movie. In fact, to be honest, Mike didn't have much problem in the last two rounds, whether it was offense or defense, or even his strategy. After all, his cards were big enough. Assuming that in the hand at the beginning of the movie, Mike just checked and did not raise at the beginning, there is a good chance that the opponent will raise the bet, and then Mike chooses to call. In the end it was inevitable to lose. Can win or win in the hole card is big enough.
In a real poker game, it must not be such a simple win or loss. The tricks between the masters will basically not miss any cards, and the final victory is to tell a story to the opponent through their own bets.
