Rounders 2? (3 Viewers)

This time he only plays online poker with an overlay and Ed Norton runs the hands through a solver on a second PC. Teddy KGB buys the website he gambles on and uses bots and superusers to siphon his bankroll until he is forced to once again play him heads-up in person to pay off his debt.

Rounders 2 Script Ideas:
1) they both move to the Isle of Man and setup an online poker site. Chris Ferguson is the antagonist and multi-accounts his way into almost bankrupting both Norton and Damon. They finally have to go full Italian Job and Jason Bourne to bring Ferguson down.
2) it turns into more of an Odd Fellows comedy - they both just go to Foxwoods every day and play 1/5 spread limit stud, while they live together. Hiliarity ensues.
3) Norton starts dating the girl from the Taj Mahal (pre-noodle bar) and it turns into a bizarrely weird rom-com.

This actually doesn’t sound half bad. I’d watch it!

Interesting thought.
But too many other characters interact with him to be Mike's imagination.

I know I'm in the minority. I thought Rounders was overrated.

Worm is the mastermind behind the vibrating butt plug cheating scandal
Me too. I preferred Mississippi Grind.

Sir. We are talking about poker movies, not sexual positions.
Cincinnati Kid. But Rounders isn’t overrated. It wasn’t even that popular when it came out. Just a cult following among poker players.

I'm allowed to have my opinion. You are allowed to be wrong!
Prequels would be way better.
No. That’s how we end up with JarJar Binks playing poker.
“Yousa right, Mikey. Meesa no hassa spades.”
Seeing Worm and Mike in college hustle cards snd the CC scam w Worm going to jail….
Teddy kgb working his way up the ranks and hosting…
Way better story lines at a time when poker was cool and underground.
Modern day poker doesn’t make a good story imho.
You spelled California Split wrong
Is that different from a Mississippi straddle?
What do you mean? They only made one Highlander movie. Why do you think they keep repeating "There can be only one" ?? /j
At my age, the first is contemporary, with the promise of excitement; the second is ancient history, boring as hell.
I hate the Mississippi straddle. UTG only!
This. I'd love to see a "rise of Teddy KGB" prequel

Rounders 2, but a 72 year old Worm brings Mike McD to a casino to play 4/8 LHE where they won’t put him in the lobby to earn points while he walks around, and hilarity ensues.
I thought "Good Will Hunting" was the prequel. What else would you do with those math smarts but be a degenerate gambler?
In all seriousness, I don't see what they could do continuing that story without it turning into a suck-sequel. You just can't recreate the dynamic between mike, worm, and teddy. You can only re-hash it.
Thus, though I'd like to see more Rounders, I'd worry about just seeing more Rounders.
