Hey guys
Fun little topic hereWhat are some good poker documentaries you have all seen?
The Stu Unger story was a real good one
Good topic. The Stu Unger story was great. 2 Months 2 Million is a really cool documentary style tv series. I liked All In too. I haven’t seen Bet Raise Fold yet but that’s on my list.
While its a little bite sized, I like The Final Table documentary that Jason Somerville did about preparing Russell Thomas for the november 9. Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyl_KbHFmQY
Excited to join the discussion! Although it’s not in English, there are subtitles, this is one of my favorites. It’s called nosebleed and it follows two high stakes pros.
Search up Busto to Robusto
There are a few episodes I believe. Documentaries of online grinders back in the heyday.
Flop
+1 for nosebleed. I also enjoyed watching Kid Poker
This is a little-known documentary from 2006, smack dab in the middle of the Poker boom:
No Limit: A Search for the American Dream on the Poker Tournament
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478217/
It’s been years since I’ve watched it, but I remember thinking how delusional these film makers were dusting off huge buy-in after huge buy-in in these tourneys.
I have a DVD ISO rip of this movie around on an old Hard Drive, I’m sure I could probably upload to Dropbox or somewhere if anyone wants a copy. Just hit me up.
Okay so not technically a documentary, more a bookumentary, but “Every hand revealed” by Gus Hansen from his Aussie Millions win was a really enjoyable read. A nice chance to peek into his mind and also appreciate how few hands are actually played to get to a final table in a big tournament.
It only goes through the hands he played and doesn’t discuss any hands he folded, which could have been pretty educational. But it’s definitely a good read and a nice break from poker theory/instruction books.
