Against your average guy, I'd set a bear trap, hardly bet at all.
'I just got top two pair on the flop, and I want to keep him in the hand. In the scene that opens the movie, the protagonist, Mike, describes his thought process in a hand. One movie that really cuts through this superficial treatment is Rounders (1998). Poker isn't about how lucky you can possibly get. 'Oh you've got four kings? Well I've got a royal flush! What's that you say? We're playing with five kings in the deck? Just shut up and give me the money.' It's a shame that television and movie producers often depict poker this way, since it really misses the point of the game. In popular culture-television and movies, for instance-when we see poker hands, typically we see one improbably strong hand beat another.
