Deal the Movie

Set against the world of high stakes poker, DEAL follows the story of Alex Stillman (Bret Harrison), a cocky, hotshot, card-playing senior at Yale University. Alex dreams of becoming a professional Texas Hold’em poker player but does not yet have the skill to master the table. Fortunately for him, a chance encounter introduces Alex to retired poker legend, Tommy Vinson (Burt Reynolds). Tommy was at the top of his game twenty years ago but gave it all up in order to save his family. Upon meeting Alex, Tommy realizes he can regain his own self- confidence, pride and a poker championship title by turning Alex into his protégé. The two pair up and master every tournament they enter. The winning streak and friendship between the two is eventually thwarted by the interference of a Las Vegas call girl, Michelle (Shannon Elizabeth). The pair eventually part ways and separately prepare for the World Poker Tour. Only one will take home the championship title.

Site Review: Poker Stars

Poker Stars Overall Rating: 8.9/10 Review Poker Stars has long been a leader in online poker and has grown to be the largest online poker community with around a 100,000 players online at any given time. In a way Poker Stars could be credited with starting the online poker craze because this is where Chris Moneymaker won his entry into the World Series of Poker and went on to win the 2003 main event. Poker Stars sends more people to the WSOP than any other site so if a WSOP bracelet is your goal Poker Stars would be a good place to start. Poker Stars is endorsed by the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, Barry Greenstein and of course Chris Moneymaker. Poker Stars also welcomes American players. Overview and Ratings Fast Payouts (almost instant in some cases never more than 24 hours) Responsive 24/7 customer service. Decent Software. Ring Game Traffic: 10 Tournament Traffic: 9.5 Game Variety: 7 Rake: 8 Soft Competition: 8 Sign-Up Bonus: 7 Promotions & Bonuses: 8 Support: 9 Financial Security: 9.9 Deposit & Withdrawals Options: 8 Promotions 100% First-Time Deposit Bonus Poker Reload Bonuses Frequent Player Program Frequent Cash Free-Rolls Sunday Million Tournament Traffic Being the largest online poker room means traffic is never a problem at Poker Stars. I've never found it difficult to find a good game regardless of what game I'm in the mood for or time of day. At the time of this review (early afternoon, midweek) there are about 90,000 people on 14,000 tables online. Limits and Game Variety Poker Stars of course has Hold'em, Omaha and 7 Card Stud in limit, pot limit and no limit varieties. Additionally they have 5 Card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw, HORSE and HOSE games. Ring game stakes range from $.01/$.02 all the way up to $200/400. Tournaments This is were Poker Stars really shines. If you are a tournament player then Poker Stars should definitely be one of your main sites. Buy-Ins range from $.50 on up. Their tournament structure is one of the best online favoring skilled patient play. The Poker Stars Sunday Million has one of the best tournament structures anywhere online and with 20,000 in starting chips it plays more like a major live tournament than an online "all-in" fest. Customer Service Poker Stars offers 24/7 customer service via email. My test inquiries were always answered very promptly usually within a few hours. The truth is that in over a year of play at Poker Stars I've never really needed customer service because Poker Stars just seems to work. Play On-Line Poker at Poker Stars Now
