I have a reprint of that exact deck of cards! Highlanders 1864 Poker Deck, absolutely recommend picking it up. You'll feel like you're living in this scene lol
Here's a hint for all you wanna-be poker players: When playing 5-card Stud, if your opponents start catching straight flushes more than once every 30 years, you're being cheated.
I won $800 in a 8 handed cash game (1st to win 5 games in 5 card draw took the cash) Held 5-7 Spade, flopped 8-6 spade and a King of Heart i think, turned the 9 Spade nuts and took it down. Wife of host accused me of cheating but her husband dealt lol. I was paid !
@@danlee8486 i've had 3 in the last 12 months andsaw 3 others at the tables i was playing at including 2 royals in less than 6 weeks last year. i'm still looking for my first royal in a live game. might be the year for it already hit quads twice and 2 straight flushes of course thisis hold'em not what ever this is called
Lance LeGault was an amazing actor. He brought his A game to every role. His commanding voice and presence were perfect for the characters he played and I especially liked him here as Doc. The General in Iron Eagle was another of my favorites. 😁
It has been soooo long since I've seen this movie, that I just realized, when I saw the 'thumbnail', that Kenny Rogers' opponent is...Col. Decker from the tv series 'The A-Team'. (damn I'm old)
This is the first and only movie I've ever watched featuring period accurate playing cards without numbers or letters. Most have either period inaccurate cards, or (even worse), blatant Bikes. As much as people like to claim this scene is "unrealistic", they sure made up for the gameplay with the props.
Great movie and gambling scene. The lady - right side shown at the 3:00 min. mark is Marianne Gordon from Hee Haw - Kenny Roger's wife at one time. I like the way Kenny throws down that last heart!
Oh man. Hee Haw women in short shorts, big bosoms. That show today would come under soo much criticism. But it's okay for a president to lie, cheat, and steal. What's the world come to.
A Hollywood finish to be sure, only a degenerate gambler or a dumb ass chaser would have played KR,s cards like that. 4 to 1 on catching a flush I think about 21 to one a strait flush and the flush may not have helped because the other guy had a about a 7 to 1 chance of having a full house,
LOl Kenny Roger's character would be the worst poker player who ever lived. Obviously the story writer knew very little about poker. Still a fun scene. The Doc acted his part great.
@@biggawinnacrapsa3870 I thought that was the advice the gambler was giving: that if you don't made smart decisions with your life, you'll end up like him.
And most people who movies have never shot s gun before. Just because it's not like real life doesn't mean it's not entertaining and fun to watch. Lol. Try playing 5 card stud for a while. T high might be a good hand 😂
Lance Legault was a regular on the original Magnum PI, and if I remember correctly, was Elvis Presley's stunt double in a few movies. Quite a resume", huh?
Yep..donkey all the way. Even with three suited cards, the chances of the next one was 10 in 47, followed by 9 in 46. I'm no going to do the math, but a flush is about 4%. HEE HAW!
@Nick Not a very good one, apparently. He got lucky and sucked out, then got lucky again when the stakeholder made his guy go all in. Over the long haul, that's losing poker.
Kenny didnt necessarily have to have the straight flush to win the hand. The odds of Kenny making his flush were better than the odds of Doc filling up. Any heart would have most likely got it done.
I was once at a poker game in a small room without windows. One of the players passed wind, smelling of rotten eggs, and the game was postponed as the players had to leave the room. What people didn’t know was the player that passed the gas had also followed through, and the expensive red velvet on his chair was soiled by his diarrhoea. This caused a commotion and fists were thrown.
Thank you for telling me Doc's name. He was chasing the A-Team and a Werewolf. Good actor with a good voice. Lance Legault, was thinking of Lance Hendrickson from Millinium TV.
Sticking around and staying with the rising pot was pretty gutsy, IMHO. Sure you have a hole card but as the man said, the odds of pulling a straight flush, or even a flush, were long indeed.
Real easy way to know what to do in these situations: Call timeout and ask the director what the name of the movie is. If your name is in the title, you should call the bet.
You got to know when to hold them. Know when to fold them. Know when to walk away. And know when to run. You never count your money, when you're sitting at the table. There'll be time enough for counting, when the dealings done.
This scene is funny because Hollywood assumed most people didn't understand poker so they had to constantly remind the viewers as to who had what, whose was stronger, and even explained the odds during play. Plus they would say pair of Deuces betting x dollars. Super funny movie because play is all wrong and the costume designers should all be shot for dressing these guys in 1970s/1980s clothing & hairstyles. PS: Even in the 1800s a dealer would be shot for explaining whose hand was stronger in the middle of play!
Actually you must not know about 5card stud! The dealer is supposed to call out the cards and hands when dealing. Do your research if you don’t believe me, it’s one of my favorite games.
Smart move to raise with a flush draw. Then your opponent knowing he has the best hand can go all in and you won't have the odds to call. Perhaps the hollywood writers believed that a legendary gambler had magical powers. Not only do they know their opponents hole cards but also know what card is coming next.
how would u judge a sci fi movie from 1979? or any kind of movie? bringing knowledge uve learn about 35 years later? btw i know the best play was to push with those aces before the river but theres one thing u havent thought about... the betting limits and the stack sizes on each street, maybe the all in option was only on the river
The guy that lost is the better player, other than he should have made huge bet on 2nd or 3rd ace. Anyone can card Chase and get lucky. Don't try this at home folks.
A 4-card open ended straight flush draw against a Pair of Aces, is a 17 out hand. When he catches the Jh, he must atleast have a flush. You better have aces full or 4 aces to call.
@ GARY Gwin. You're right that when Hawkes gets his 4th face-up card the Jack of Hearts, unless Palmer has the 4th Ace as his face-down card , and therefore 4 of a kind, he would be a damned fool to make another wager of $2500 as he did in the poker scene from the Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" movie since a straight flush or just a flush beats 3 of a kind! If Palmer had the 4th Ace card as his face-down card , then his final wager of $2500 makes sense since the odds of Hawkes having the 8 of Hearts as his face-down card would be astronomically against in a 2-player game (although more likely than in a 4 or 5 player game). The makers of that movie should have had Palmer turn over his face-down card to reveal to the audience if he had the 4th Ace card which if he had the 4th Ace card would have made his final bet of $2500 logical. If he did not have the 4th Ace card as his face-down card , then his final wager of $2500 was idiotically stupid! The audience therefore has to assume that Palmer did have the 4th Ace card as his face-down card.
@@michaelbarlow6610 not necessarily. He could of had a full house which would beat everything the gambler was representing in just a 5 flush. With the exception being a straight flush. So its conceivable he has the full house or 4 aces. I'd wager he had the full house here. His demeanor and the table talk between the players and backer, exudes it.
@@Eadweard76 . Correct. The odds that Doc Palmer has, as his face-down card, one of the three remaining 5s (i.e., 5 of hearts, diamonds or spades) in the deck to make a "full house" are better than the odds that Hawkes has the 8 of hearts as his face-down card. But another flaw in that excellent poker scene in "The Gambler" movie, is when Hawkes after receiving his second face-up heart card, makes a facial gesture reaction to that card, which clearly indicates that he is thinking "interesting", which is an absolute giveaway to an observant professional gambler like Doc Palmer that Hawkes' face-down card is a heart card! Hawkes should have made no facial expression upon receiving that second face-up heart card! That facial expression/reaction by Hawkes was a blunder in his demeanor during the poker game! His facial reaction to the second face-up heart card would only make sense if he was trying to bluff Palmer into thinking that he had a heart card as his face-down card if he really didn't.
Has anyone noticed the continuity error in this poker scene from the Kenny Rogers movie "The Gambler"? The spot on the poker table where the wagered chips are placed keeps changing throughout the scene. One moment they are to the right of Hawkes' cards, and then the next moment they are to the left of his cards! And there also are one or two moments in the scene when the camera angle to the right of Hawkes shows the entire poker table and the wagered chips appear to be in two separate piles as if the two players are placing the chips they bet in separate piles which would not occur in a real poker game, because in a real poker game all wagered chips are placed in one pile in the center of the table.
Yeah, in real life, a card player would NEVER raise a bet when chasing a straight/flush/straight flush. You either fold or, if you're a gambler, you see the bet, pay to see the next card and hope you get lucky. That was inept card playing. And the other guy? He KNEW his opponent had the winning hand. He called it instinct, but in truth a good card player learns read the other players. In short, the best player lost.
So much crap. I guess he doesn't "know when to fold 'em," after all. That hand would have been over when the second ace came out. No wonder Tom wanted to play him again in the future. Now, THAT is realistic.
You don’t play much 5 card stud do you? Especially in the 1800’s....even in the 60’s when it was resurgent a 3 card straight flush draw isn’t something you would fold often.
On 4th street he knew he was on a flush draw, so when Kenney raised he should have moved all in or at the very least re-raised to make the odds of calling the raise a bad call. Then he bets under a third of the pot on 5th street when the flush and the straight come in. Unless he had a boat or 4 of kind then what the hell was the point of that?

Runner,runner,runner!
Yeah, in real life, a card player would NEVER raise a bet when chasing a straight/flush/straight flush. You either fold or, if you're a gambler, you see the bet, pay to see the next card and hope you get lucky. That was inept card playing. And the other guy? He KNEW his opponent had the winning hand. He called it instinct, but in truth a good card player learns read the other players. In short, the best player lost.
Real shame what happened to that unique face of Kenny Rogers.
Plastic surgery ruins the best of looks......
Boy you can say that again.
You got to know when to hold'em... Know when to fold'em... Know when to walk away... Know when to run...
Like the guy Kenny beat, he was a true gentleman
I be sure those two hands being dealt out at random the odds would be in the 20 millions to one shot
So much crap. I guess he doesn't "know when to fold 'em," after all. That hand would have been over when the second ace came out. No wonder Tom wanted to play him again in the future. Now, THAT is realistic.
You don’t play much 5 card stud do you? Especially in the 1800’s....even in the 60’s when it was resurgent a 3 card straight flush draw isn’t something you would fold often.

maybe 9 handed
Still waiting on the A team to come bursting in there and whoop decker's ass😂
On 4th street he knew he was on a flush draw, so when Kenney raised he should have moved all in or at the very least re-raised to make the odds of calling the raise a bad call. Then he bets under a third of the pot on 5th street when the flush and the straight come in. Unless he had a boat or 4 of kind then what the hell was the point of that?
It wouldn't have mattered. Such a goofy hand. 😂
