| Was it me, or was Matt Damon's girlfriend annoying as hell? Always hounding him about playing poker. |

Good interview with John Malkovich bitching about everybody that says he's the bad guy. He's like, I let the guy play me to pay off his debt, I didn't cheat him, he won, I paid him, I stopped my guys from beating him. I did nothing wrong, and I'm the bad guy? But he's an arrogant asshole in that character, I'm not sure if that equates to "bad guy", just "disliked character". |

The only part about his character that was bad was his attempt at a Russian accent. Man that was awful.

If you listen to the commentary track, you'll find out his vocal coach who read all his dialog was a woman and he matched her accent, which was... wrong, apparently. |

I must have watched that movie 6 or 7 times and that's the way I have always seen him. He was actually pretty honorable. Edward Norton's character is a prick though. |

Card dealt from the bottom of the deck Technically a hanger is a bottom card that is askew after bottom dealing another card. It is a way that a bottom dealer can be detected as all the cards should be pretty much lined up when correctly dealing. Fun fact: If you suspect a bottom dealer, you should listen more then watch the deal. Dealing from the bottom will produce a pronounced SNAP or POP sound. Professional cheats work for hundreds of hours to bottom deal without the difference in sound, but most people will still have it even if their other mechanics are good. |

Man, I had that movie on VHS, and now I wanna watch it. But I has no VCR.
It's streaming on Netflix if you have it Then I may have to check it our next week, when I have some free time. Might as well make it a double feature and watch Death to Smootchie now, too. |

Quoted:
What's a hanger? When you are dealing seconds or from the bottom, a "Hanger" is when a card sticks out from bad technique. Dealing seconds is pushing two cards out with top thumb, and grabbing bottom of the two cards with the other hand while pulling the top card back in place to give to the player of choice. A hanger is when 3 cards slide out, the bottom one gets pulled, and only the top one slides back, leaving a card sticking out one down from the top of the deck. Apply to bottom of the deck for bottom dealing... |

A big giveaway is the "mechanics grip", where they hold the deck by all four edges. Makes manipulation much easier. Top and bottom dealing can be done with a two finger hold on the deck, but it's noisy and takes far more talent/practice to perfect. Basically, magic tricks for profit, without people knowing there's any magic tricks happening. |

damn i need to watch that movie again.
used to love it. Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker. First prize at the World Series of Poker is a million bucks. Does it have my name on it? I don't know. But, I'm gonna find out. TONS of great one liners |

If the deck is shuffled, how does the dealer know what he's dealing out? That's just the last step in the magic trick. The "shuffles" are half real/half fake. They keep the same card(s) on the top or bottom, and even when the cards are cut, the cheater can undo the cut while making it appear to be a legitimate cut. When you cut cards, the suggestion is to make three equal-ish stacks, put top stack to middle, middle to bottom, bottom to top, square off deck, then hand back to dealer. Don't just leave the cut laying there for the dealer to have complete control of the cut. |

Video quality sucks but this is George Joseph, one of the top 10 card manipulators in the world, showing just a few quick poker dealing tricks for his DVD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qosa2DhFWRE Saw him do this stuff in person for a class and it is truly amazing to see. ETA: For spelling ETA2: Here is a tad bit longer one that shows the tricks in depth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye4ljc6H7pQ |
