    <p>haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm sure it lacks the depth that the book "Bringing Down the House" did about the development of the characters...</p>
    <p>Does the movie show the scene where the guy max bets 50K on all 6 slots two times in a row where the dealer pulls a 5 card 21?  I think it was 950K loss in 2 hands...brutal.  You think he went on tilt after that?</p>
    <p>We should all ask Andy Bloch, as he was one of the late additions to the team...</p>

    <p>Another good article by graps.  If I had a friend that wanted to start playing poker, I think the first thing I'd do is have him read all of graps (and a few others) articles here.  You could be wise beyond your years at a very young age, and he gives out the information for free (even when it seems obvious once you read it).</p>
    <p>I still want to see this movie/read the book.  I'll probably wait for the DVD, only because it would be calling in favors to the wife to see this with her, and there are quite a few movies out there I'd just as well not have to sit through.</p>

    <p>I have come to the conclusion that long term is over a life time, and the short term can last for years.  Correct me if I am wrong.</p>

    <p>The couple of people I know who've read the book and seen the movie already say to completely skip the movie.  It takes "based on the book..." to a whole new level of making shit up.  The only common theme is there were some kids at MIT who counted cards in Vegas.</p>
    <p>Thanks for the kind words, everyone.  And WAK's poop.  All are welcome.</p>
