POKER INFO - PROILE - Mike McDermott
 

He is ok but Against me he is got nothing I have seen the Movie =)

typical ac/borgota player who thinks their shit don't stink; overly aggressive in his poker and life choices; reckless and overrated.

Yeah,but he got to bang Gretchen Moll.

sportsbetter, do you KNOW this guy personally? Otherwise you should shut your trap. You sound like a jealous hater.

Vouches for the wrong people.

Rounders was a great movie. And he would kick your @$$ Earth Elemental.

I am pretty sure that sportsbettor doesn't know him personally because well....HE IS FICTIONAL!!! relax hateplayerhater

The way he played his nut straight at the end of the movie was dumb. It's not that hard to tell that when people say, "sure, I'll gamble" when they put their chips in that they have a hand. Easiest tell in the book.

Farha: "Let's gamble" with K2 preflop vs. Dutch Boyd

Mike McD goaded and owned KGB in that final hand!

he beat kgb straight up. and he check check check...

I wanna be like this guy...

rounders called dutch boyd...they want their persona back...dutch boyds whole persons is ripped off from mike mcd,,,one question tho...why didnt mikey nail the broad from the chesterfield....she was hot,,,bad move mikey

no they ripped off mike mcds persona from dutch

He was only good cause it was a movie.

Bankroll management

those are two words mike wil never learn

this guy plays so loose. i slowed played aces on him. he lost his whole bankroll

He should have dumped the blonde and hooked up with Petra.

bankroll management..when youve got the talent mike has you "took a shot and missed" seemed to do alright near the end of the movie if i remember it correctly

I really love that guy!

why is it at the begining of the movie he was making a run for the WSOP when he already had 30 large? As far as I know the buy in is 10. Did he think they were gonna charge him extra?

I was wonderinging that myself...It seems 30,000 was a good enough stake for a player of his talent...

the buy in back when the movie came out was less then that because poker wasnt as popular and mabe only a 3rd of the players that play today where actually into poker

the prize money only gets bigger the more people play the bigger pay out

did a whole year go by because at the beging of the movie hes making a run and at the end hes going to the wsop

I don't remember, John

...It was about a year later after his beat (title flashes 9 mo later at beginning). Mikey won the World Championships and you know it!!!!!!!

He thinks he's so great cos he bluffed out Chan.. He folds for 3/4 of an hour then randomly decides to re-raise the guy pre-flop. Not like Chan is going to call someone playing that tight unless he has AA or KK. Anyone could do that, he probably lost more money in blinds than he got from that hand.Then he acts like a cock saying "SORRY JOHN I DONT REMEMBER" and gets up and cashes out.

I agree... If I saw someone do that at a table I'd ask why his clown ass even sat down..

How exactly did Mike misplay his hand at the start? He flopped top 2 pair, then made the boat on turn.. the only 2 cards to beat him were the f'ing aces, like what are the odds? was he suppose to pick up teddy's tell? i mean how else could he have played it with that hand?

Hey, is this the moron who ran away after winning one hand from me? i asked him what he had and he say "sorry i dont remember" and walked off i was so mad! how dare he outbluff my 8-3 off suit i kill him!!

Can you imagine this guy at the WSOP? On the first day, he'll be like "i'm all-in, cause i dont think u have a spade" and gus hansen will say "i don't haaaaave a spade, i haaaave 10-3 off suite giving me an unlikely full house!" and takes away all of Mike's chips. He'll just sit there godsmacked and broke yet again.

lol, i would walk up a slap mike.. he's a dummy

u guys do know HE IS FICTIONAL right? this is really Matt Damon.

JetsFan315 are you kidding me??

There are many Mike McDermott's out there..

I have several ideas on a rounders 2. It would start with damon getting droped off at one of the major casinos and i won't say anything else. but the idea is great. how could you not make one now with popularity of poker. ed norton is in it, also grammer ticked off that he didn't get his way and the teddy kgb will have a small part. matt will be at his world series of poker table and he will hear a familiar voice at another table, ed nortons. they make eye contact. ed loses quick and trys to cling to matt again but make has no part of it. kinish realizes that matts idea of the tournement wasn't that bad and he also enters the tournement. there would be all the poker stars today at some of the tables . i'm thinking ed norton will die in this movie. but damen will win the world series of poker.. oh his exgirl friend shows up to watch the final table. you have to make it. call me ill right the whole script.

IF THIS GUY IS SO GREAT WHY WASNT HE IN VEGAS TO START! if i was "that good" id be saying f--- law school, come on this movie is awesome but that part defintly bugs me.

Reed Hamm that sounds like a good idea for a sequel. It will obviously take place at the WSOP and Mike will definately make it to the final table at least. Infact, he could come across his idol Johnny Chan in he process and Johnny goes "Hey, arent u the f-head who cashed out after re-raises in one hand at casino game?" and Mike would look him in the eye and say "Sorry Johnny, i don't remember". I think Ed Norton could come back in, but not because he also entered the wsop. He's there scamming through side-games OR he hears that Mike is doing well and drops in for a visit - hopefully to patch things up since Mike might become a millionaire. But there would have to be 1-2 new characters that Mike meets along the way, such as other aspiring poker players hoping to hit the big-time. And also another poker "bad boy" similar to KGB that Mike must defeat heads-up at the final table. Too much time has elapsed since the first unfortunately, but its still a good idea.
