    It is very believable. In the beginning Mike loses when Teddy KGB turns his top set into aces-full to beat Mike's 9-full. Mike was losing the whole way and got outplayed, he didn't lose because a miracle killer card fell on the river.

    Similarly, during the movie's final scene, Mike flops the nut straight. The turn and river were blanks. It was not a situation where Mike was losing the hand and hoping for that one card he needed which, in true Hollywood fashion, he would get on the river.
    The huge plot hole is that they are going to kill him if he doesn't come up with the 15 G's, doesn't sound like the best business model for people in the bookmaking / loan sharking business.

    Mr.Lucky. 1940 something.
    Cary Grant plays a "Boss" gambler.
    Poker Dice scene to see who gets a dead guys "4F" and stays out of the draft.
    Good flick.

    It’s called Double Down. I remember it perfectly lol. Meets up with the guy at the bar and they went to high school together goes through this whole spill only for his boys to have put everything on the guy instead of fading him.

    Probably different scenes from "The Natural" if not already mentioned. Also, probably the best sports movie ever....
