In the video you did about Andy Beal you said they played No'limit I'm pretty sure it was just limit hold'em. I could be wrong though the last time I heard the story was sometime ago
Yes they played Limit holdem.If at any point in the video I said no limit instead of limit then it was a mistake.
@@PokerBounty ok bro cheers
Thanks for the vid bro, btw whats the timespan when this happens?
Ee und ich hoffe es geht ihm gut und du hast auch noch nicht da ich bin auch dabei und ich bin auch dabei und ich bin auch dabei und ich bin auch dabei und ich U und ich bin auch dabei und ich bin
Molly: Tobey, please, I need that money.
Bully Maguire: I miss the part where it's my problem.
I find it suspicious af that Tobey "didnt know" his partner was a mechanic. I cant describe how unrealistic that sounds to me.
in the movie they show tobey as the villain and molly as some goddess lmao
That’s because it’s from her view not his lol
When I lived in Boston, there was a poker game at an undisclosed location, the dealer had a mechanical shuffler, and the cut was made by a random player. Plus, there was a card blocker incase the bottom card was accidentally exposed and made base dealing tougher to make. Every 100 orbits, both decks were shredded, and a two brand new decks were opened. The game was supervised by the organizer and the cocktail ladies that were secretly trained to catch cheaters. Trust me, this is one game you did not want to be caught actually fucking cheating.
I'm from Charlestown and my cousin is from Dorchester and I'm pretty sure all that are in the know or grind any, that is the one game in town no one will hit!
@@Irish4u2nv The outside security was just one man with comms with other people. People would walk out with tens of thousands in their person, the organizer guaranteed a safe environment inside and outside. You could request an armed escort back to your vehicle free of chage. I thought about asking if they ever been hit, but I thought better to ask a sketch as fucking question like that.
@@JohnnyXanax that rep and those comms with a man to relay them is all thats needed and lol yep that would definetly be a sketchy AF question you wouldn't want to ask, especially if it did happen that someone tried to hit it because afterwards you'd suspect #1.
Pretty sure those place run by mob boss . If you lucky they just beat you up and ban you never play there again. If you unlucky they will force you do something for them in return wipe away your debt
I cheated at this game. The trick is to have the cocktail waitresses in in I too, and to program the auto-shuffler, and mind control.
One of the best poker channels on CZcams without a doubt don’t understand how these videos don’t get way more views
Algorithm
He needs to add white cop or black male or covid 19 and for sure will get 8 million views
It's because of the admin on this channel
@@TheFreshstartable thanks Mr Hunt
Maybe he would get more views if his analysis was not so biased. Brad was arrested and gave up all the names of the players who took his cash, yet the guy who made this Video blames Molly for that. WTF??
You have some brown on your nose
I would love this movie with Tobey playing himself
Nobody would play themselves in a movie adapted by a book written by someone who dislikes you
THey already made this movie without him. Its called "Mollys Game" and it's actually decent. Edris Elba plays Molly's lawyer. I'm not going to tell you who plays Tobey but it's actually kinda funny. Go watch it!
Zero chance that Tobey Maguire would agree to that movie. It would show Toby to be a scumbag (see Molly's Game). He's generally known to be an unpleasant person and making another movie about his poker playing would highlight his unlikeability and likely kill his career even more than it already is.
@@2011blueman Not really, shows him as a insanely smart poker player who smartly takes over the game pretty much. Ntm it shows him as being someone who everyone likes
@@SweetSword No one likes Tobey Maguire. He was spiderman but really hasn't been cast for anything else because he's an asshole that no one likes.
Glad I stumbled across this channel. Great story
Glad you enjoy it!
great doc !... never knew how bad that situation was...
Wow, this is quite different than portrayed in "Molly's Game"
Correct. Molly didn't give up the players names...in the movie.
@@jamesadams8207 The actual book made it pretty clear.
Bully Maguire is ruthless.
This is almost exactly what happened to my home game. Except the blinds were 1/2. Otherwise it’s exactly.
Molly was " a threat to the integrity " of a crooked card game. lmao
Toby actually had the opposite disposition towards people and winning, he absolutely got OFF on breaking people financially
So bully maguire is not just a meme. 😂
What a great explanation of the poker world of the stars and the movie‼️
Thank you.
Yea, even before knowing anything about the “true story” I could tell right away the Michael cera character was based on Toby McGuire and the wsop player they brought in was Jamie gold. I really liked the movie the first time seeing it, but dosent hold up as well after more viewings.
Good luck getting that money back from the other players, and it's so nice that the Feds are so ready to go collect poker debts but still can't find any criminal activity from the housing crash..
Well they dont investigate themselves
Can't find any criminal activity of the housing crash????
@@tomharry6619 I'm guessing he's talking about 2008. Hell the government wrote them all a big fat check on Wall Street
Feels incredibly unfair to ask people to pay that money back unless they knew what Bad Brad was up to
Playing poker at Commerce Casino for the past 20 years ... I have met tons of celebrities in play that private games in Hollywood and made tons of money but all that comes and goes
14:10 Robbi Jade Lew - hold my Jack high
Now Houston Curtis owns and runs a popular High Stakes Livestream called LIVE AT THE BIKE. What could go wrong
This was really cool
Yea, I read the book. Toby comes off as a cold piece of shit in it. Even watching the movie before knowing anything about it, it sounded like Michael Ceras character was based on Toby
Kinda funny when you here Molly Bloom tell her story she conveniently leaves out the part of being a snitch and paints herself as a victim. And I don't believe Tobey McGuire fleeces top pros without an edge.
Bully Tobey making a comeback!
So the card cheat guy was always the dealer? That's suspect in itself I'd never play in a game like that
Tobey has always look like a Hollywood pedo
@@deadpool790 Drive that funky soul
He was cheating
I'm reading Molly's Game and it's a great book plus it was a great movie.
So the movie was largely fabricated. Mainly to go with the theme of empowering women. They polished the lead female depicting her as an angel
yup. molly in reality is a dumbass whos just as bad as everyone else involved
Everyone involved was scum, Tobey and Molly included.
Couldn’t this story be fabricated?
@@timothyholden3682 No, eveybody knows this.
Liberals are terrible people, ruining movies
If you really want to know how bad of a job they did adapting this into film, "Houston"
was barely in the movie and when he was he was portrayed as a desperately lonely gambler who kept needing to borrow big sums of money.
You can’t argue using j high as a bluff catcher is always a bad play. It depends on who is in the pot, your position, their position, the board texture, stack sizes etc..
Agreed
True, but the better play if you think they are weak is almost always a raise to get folds from better hands like ace high or low pairs
J high is a terrible bluff catcher are u crazy?
Bluffing with J high and calling with it, even if you suspect a bluff, are very different plays.
This post predicted the future.
Incredible Tobey was out here hustling
I knew this story sounded familiar. Great backstory to Molly’s Game
Glad you enjoyed it!
So she’s a snitch? The movie made her out to not be a snitch.
Yep Molly Bloom is a horrible human being
Golden roule: The bitch will always snitch
Tobey Maguire: "Don't be an alcoholic or eat meat, live a clean life like me"
Also Tobey Maguire: "I'm one of the biggest gambling addict Degen scumbags ever in the history of Hollywood! Clean living tho!"
I only know a couple of these names.
I gave up on Hollywood 20 years ago.
‘’Drinking, smoking and ordering meat”
This word "meat" bothering me to 🤣🤣
I knew Molly's brother in college but didn't know back then about Molly until this all went down
The card mechanic, who intentionally dealt pocket aces to a player in a high-limit poker game got branded as a cheater? Hmm. Shocking.
Yeah he was certainly cheating. I spent a year or so when I was younger practicing magic. I can easily give myself pocket aces. Especially, when woth mates, drunk and in a dark room. It is very tempting to me when there is $200 on the line. I can't imagine he wouldnt cheat with millions on the line.
In all honesty Ive cheated when Ive had the button. You have 20 shit hands in a row get a few bad beats and you think fuck it.
@@icmull how can you cheat In poker? At least where I Come from In friendly games its allways someone else than dealer doing Last cut before deal
@@jarskii11 if ur good u can do it even if someone cuts
@@jasonatencio8017 how can you force a cut from someone else?
@@jarskii11 if ur good enough it dosent matter who cuts the deck some are even good enough that someone can shuffle the deck and still do it
Now Houston Curtis is in charge of security at either Live at the Bike or Hustler casino Live. Oh the sweet irony.
16:30 contraband 😂😂😂
how did Molly get the dealer to rake the pots without telling everyone? and how would everyone not immediately notice this going on?
There's a fine line between poker player and actor/actress.
Dam, Tobey did all that just to pay his rent
🤣
Naah, a lot of doors in his house.
Imagine being worth $80 million, and still feeling compelled to play angles on your peers to get more.
That's how you get 80 million
greed... rich always want more, look at Bezos, Musk, Zuckerman, Gates, etc. They would sell their own mothers...
It's not always greed. It's usually ego once you reach certain stakes.
@@nardinit right
I mean what’s the difference in anyone playing poker?
Interesting how this video definitely doesn't portray MG at all. Now, seeing both sides of it, it's pretty easy to determine what was faked in the movie and what was actually going on.
Tobey could really play some cards. I think the best part of it all was Jamie Gold losing 2M lol
that must be 2 million he couldn't afford to lose, but his ego got in the way. The guy is now broke. He won $12mm but probably only got about $6 because he promised half to his buddy and then renegged so they had to go to court but settled out of court in the end.
MG?
@@DaveDepilot-KFRG he isn't even at the WSOP main even this year. I think he's def tapped.
@@DaveDepilot-KFRG that dude got crazy hot at the main event, I remember watching him back then and how annoyed I was that it seemed like he couldnt lose.
Huston Curtis looks like Doc Ock😂😂😂
lol, after a couple of minutes I was thinking, sounds like the movie Molly's game's plot. Then you introduce Molly Bloom:) didn't know it was a real story !
The movie makes it quite apparent
@@djb3389 Thank for pointing that out. Eventhough the reason I placed the comment is because it is I realised it's so obvious and I still missed it.
And why is this so much easier to believe
Molly screwed everyone by baiting them and then Toby screwed molly 😂😂
Great poker story, no one was hurt in this experiment.
Cept for the guy who killed himself
40k scammed from a guy he committed suicide
What about the millions that Brad stole from the hedge fund to play. That was someone else's money.
@@James_the_Builder doesnt sound like someone that should have been gambling with 40k
@@James_the_Builder _"scammed"_
Your definition of that word differs from the rest of the world's.
Poker dream game
Wow, this is a lot different than we were told in the movie! Molly seems like a "c u next Tuesday" in real life.
I love it spiderman screwed Molly and in the end, Molly got everyone.
The story In the movie was, Toby tried to take the game away and she beat him by going to New York… The story here says Toby gave her the job in New York?
Movie changes things for drama?
Movie changes things for drama?
And people change things to make themselves look better?
The movie is her own distorted way of presenting what really happened.
In the movie she was presented as a "strong independent woman" who managed to organize games and do it all by herself.
Reality: She was just in a glorified secretary of Viper Room's owner reffered to as a "great piece of ass" by him.
She was nothing but an eye candy to make the players more comfortable, who was told who to seduce/recruit and who to sweet talk by Tobey. She was not in charge of anything, not even for a single moment.
Her role in all of this was to give the game a feminine touch, because it was proven that males respond to attractive females' suggestions way better than to men's. So Tobey would tell her what to do and who to scope for and her job was to introduce herself to the potential fish and talk to them about how there is a game and lure them to come check it out.
She was nothing but an advertising panel for Tobey's game.
I mean the rumor that he made her bark like a seal for chips speaks tons about the power dynamic between the two and who was who.
So I’m assuming the movie is all wrong and she didn’t do it for her name.
Very good video, Worth hundreds of millions of dollars and playing poker to win more lol
2 words in this video to summarize it all “Molly’s Game” awesome 🎥
Cool.
Why the fuck would anyone be intimidated to play a movie star. If anything it is the biggest fish to catch.
This story is very different from the movie and countless interviews ive watched. In all them its said that Molly kept things on the up and up until she started taking a rake. And that was her only mistake. But in this video, theres drugs, girls, taking money from the massage people. i wonder which story is true if any.
A lot of deatils are skewed in the movie. Plus the movie shows us both the Hollywood and New York games. In this video we only focus on the Hollywood games and their back story.Also if you google the names Houston Curtis and Tobey Maguire and do a bit of research you will get the facts!
Both this vid and the movie have things that positively could never happen. The movie claimed Tobey bluffed a guy holding the nuts off his hand. This video claims a pro booked a win by bluffing while playing the entire time without looking at his hole cards. Neither of these things are possible unless you're playing against literal 10 year Olds who don't even understand the rules of the game.
Well the movie was from her perspective so of course she made herself look better. She didn't know the whole story of what was going on because she wasn't one of the players. She was a glorified hostess. What hostess in any business knows all the details the bosses are working on?
Early poke boom was nuts
Nicely done Poker Bounty. I can tell you read my book, but no plug? :).
My bad Sir! I have included it in the description.Will be happy to do some of your other poker stories in the future. :)
@@PokerBounty you tell them well. congrats on your channels success.
Lol where did you get some of this info? Like tobey turning down 1 million bucks and sending a guy to AA?? that sounds like some real first hand type of knowledge, or somebody trying to clear tobeys name lol
Ive played the Viper Room stage as a musician many times. Very fun little club with tons of Hollywood history. The Sunset Strip venues have a certain energy to them.
my favorite part was Jamie Gold losing $2M
ive played in sum games too where cheatin wouldn't be smart, and seen people go broke, like broke. Glad ive been playin since i was 12
Hustle? Its called cheating. No skill or bragging rights. Just cheating.
If you are referring to card mechanics, it may very well be cheating. But to say it takes no skill is very inaccurate.
@@ShipDaMustard96no skill for the horses.
Bro were was Dan Bilzarian, he would be those flakes of who knows what that you feed to fish.
I played Toby Mcguire in my high school play.
Brett ruttermann sounds like Alan keating
15" POKER HAAAAARRRRDDD
When they say crooked game, are they like literally cheating? Or they are just so much better than the fish that they almost always makes money every night?
Basically Molly Bloom lied
And this channel is 100% legit?
My Heroes… may the cards be forever in your favor. Acts like
15:16 ahhh now i understand who they were talking about in the movie to invite someone who won the main event but who was a clear fish anyways xd..
Lol jerry yang was even worse
In the movie, he's named Donnie Silverman. Not a huge stretch from his "real" name. Also in the movie, they say he hung himself. Someone making the movie also doesn't like JG.
Haha😂
Online poker do the same as them jusy using AI
if you can't spot the fish, then you are the fish...
Toby has a strange vibe on him
25 BB doesn't usually even meet most min buyins
Jack high is usually good
Could you all imagine if they had just played themselves...
I was invited to play with them once. I went looking to have a good time, but Toby threw dirt in my eye after I beat him on a hand so I left. Unfortunate.
Look at you jr., gonna cry?
from the histories that never happened...
Yea when I played with them I won with a 2 of clubs high card. Toby bit off my pinky finger ripped out my eye with it, then stared at me lifted his arms and crane kicked me out of the top floor window.
Where was Dan Blizerian, the proclaimed richest poker player, in this picture? Dan claimed to build his fortune by winning millions in private games like this in about the same period of time.
He was in them lol, read The Setup or just look it up. Alec Gores and Molly Bloom both dropped his name saying he was there most weeks
dan isnt really a good poker player, hes just embarrassed about getting his wealth from a trust fund so he uses the poker story to hide it
@@EthanFinley1 yea but blizerian is also a trust fund baby that sucks at poker so its not like he was winning
@@jordanjanice1doesn’t change that he has modern day pros as alibis that saw him win 8 plus figures in heads up games against much richer people.
Lol you guys need to do some actual research. Read his book. Several notable people in the poker world write their own versions in it. He’s an average player who put himself in incredible spots. Oh and he didn’t get his trust fund all 99k till well after his poker stories
Spiderman No Way that fucking river!!!
The Green Mob. LoL
Honestly, after watching this video, watching “Molly’s Game”, and learning about this whole story, I never want to take part in any poker game for the rest of my life.
@@JohnSmith-su3ze - They are not. Safer but not 100%
@@mr.onethirtyeight5088 explain how they are not 100% legit? I know there's been a few live streams that have had cheating... even the big one speculated about recently. But regular games are legit as it gets
there is card mechanics in all poker tournaments
Lies
Everything is fake in California even the poker
Happy ending at the very least😊
The game was fixed or Tobey and Houston were just better than the rest?
Is Houston the guy that Player X staked?
Most probably yes
So the origin of the Robbie started with Bad Brad, I see I see
What's the robbie?
Houston we have a problem
Who remembers when Ashton Kuthcer Punked Toby at a poker game. He was ready to squeal on everyone to the fake police officer😅
Darren Feinstein was Dean Keith im assuming.
Yes
Always wanted to know the real story, It was spermman the whole time.
Spun himself a nasty web this time.
I watched this movie yesterday, and it is one giant “you go girl!”
You can tell it was clearly written by a woman who wants people to know how good a person she is, just trust her.
It was actually written by Aaron Sorkin, who is usually a very good writer. Not on this movie though
I think the movie was written based off her book though so that explains the "you go girl" style of the movie
Toby should’ve went to non-alcoholics anonymous for help with his non-alcoholism 🤣
I'm confused how this scam worked....this hand slight card trick guy Houston was always the dealer ? Otherwise there is no scam right
It was not a scam. It was mainly bum hunting weaker players and beating them
couldnt look at his whole cards at all? lmao how do you lose to that?! the guy would never know if hes actually bluffing or actually value betting
His cheater friend was probably dealing him good cards
No. The pro that was watching, wasn't allowed to see his friend's cards.
poker is about playing the player, not the cards. Annette Obersted won a whole tournament without ever looking at her whole cards.
@@warrenbailey5469 hole
If the card holder doesn't know, how the heck could his opponents know? This is some advanced card reading right there
That guy ruined his own life.. they didn't do anything. Stopped watching after that statement.
This is bullshtt....our games in Detroit Detroit were bigger than these games
Tobey Maguire is the goat😂😂😂
I'm old enough to remember how Jamie Gold luckboxed his way to the WSOP Main Event title and played terribly the whole time and then went Busto real quick b/c he would play the high cash games. I think Mguire is a scumbag but I do like the fact that he took a bunch of money off of Gold ha ha!!
I was in middle school going into high school through the poker boom and I remember watching Jamie gold and getting annoyed cause the guy just couldnt lose a hand. But tbf you gotta have basically your best run ever to make a final table of the main event. The Jamie gold year was the year that became super apparent
How is Tobey a scumbag?
