Joey Knish:
[to Mike, referring the stacks of poker chips hidden underneath Mike's hat, before lifting up the hat]
you holding those for somebody?
Mike McDermott:
[to Joey, smiling]
yeah, I was holding it for you
Joey Knish:
[amused, to Mike]
you should be, because I hope you're not thinking of putting all that "glimmer" in play
Joey Knish:
[to Mike, gently grabs his arm and tries to find an empty seat at another table]
come here, you don't want to "butt onions" with these guys because they can chew you up, and take your whole bank roll
Mike McDermott:
so, you say
Joey Knish:
there's plenty easy games, we get outta here, get some coffee, ride over to that "soft seat" in Queens
Mike McDermott:
I know what I'm doing
Joey Knish:

Mike McDermott:
I can beat the game
Joey Knish:
[to Mike eventually he looks up and gives Joey a serious look]

since he was 19 years old.
What are you,
holdin' those for somebody?
Yeah, I'm holding 'em for you.
You should be.
'Cause I hope you're not thinking of
putting all that glimmer in play.
He's as close to a friend
as there is in this place.
- Come here.
- But tonight, I don't want to see him.
Now, you don't wanna
butt onions with these guys.
'Cause they'll chew you up,
take your whole bankroll.
- So you say.
- There's plenty of easy games.
We get outta here, get some coffee,
ride over to that soft seat in Queens.
I know what I'm doing.
You're making a run at it, aren't you?
Rolling up a stake and going to Vegas.
I'm right, right?
- I can beat the game.
- Maybe.
Maybe this is a game can be beat.
But you know you can beat the 10-20
at the Chesterfield and the Hi-Low...
at that goulash joint on 79th Street.
Okay. I understand.
I understand. Back to battle.
The game in question is
No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em.
Minimum buy-in $25,000.
A game like this doesn't
come together often outside the casinos.
The stakes attract rich flounders...
and they in turn attract the sharks.
No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em
is the Cadillac of poker.
Each player is dealt two cards face down.
Five cards are then dealt
face up across the middle.
These are community cards everyone can use
to make the best five-card hand.
The key to the game is playing the man,
not the cards.
Bet an eight ball.
There's no other game in which fortunes
can change so much from hand to hand.
A brilliant player can get
a strong hand cracked, go on tilt...
and lose his mind along with
every single chip in front of him.
