You can all blame me for this idea, LOL.
No, that's alright. I just to like blame Mickey G and Babs, it's easier. (Hell, somebody has to be the scape goat)

OK I thought about this at lunch and now I think it sucks!
EVERYONE plays poker!! That's why a Bacarat game would be so much more intersting, because I don't know how to play and neither does most of the audience....I can watch poker on tv twice a week!

I'm finding it hard to believe that this film will be a "faithful adaptation" of the novel like they keep telling us. All the reboot talk and now a James Bond-signature-staple (chemin de fer) is out with poker in it's place. The locations are off somewhere else which means I'm resigned to believe that Rene Mathis, yet again, won't appear (Mathis being French).
This sounds about as faithful as TMWTGG or DAF.. etc. Some may feel those to be better than the novels, but for Casino Royale - a novel that is obviously one of Fleming's finest, I was actually hoping for an actual faithful adaptation. I still hope we get it, but it doesn't look that way at all. C'est la vie....

It's also called the "Cadillac of Poker." That's the only other name I've seen.I asked earlier if anyone knew of a different name for texas hold em, I didnt get a response.

Hahaha...from a high society gentleman's game to a back-alley Vegas flash-in-the-pan. Maybe Dennis Rodman will play Mrs. DuPont. I can hear Le Chiffre now..."You're good, kid. But as long as I'm around you'll always be second best."
Or maybe instead of being a powerful French communist treasurer he is now a truck driver. Looking ominously across at Bond, beer bottle in hand, CAT baseball cap on backwards, he sneers and says confidently, "all in." The tension will be so thick you could cut it with a rusty knife.
Suddenly the idea of Daniel Craig as Bond is beginning to make sense....

It's annoying how everyone suddenly thinks they're some big poker star or something. At least a lot of people at my college do. These whole poker fad is really bothering me. Bond shouldn't be playing such an American game, honestly. The original idea was fine, why do we need to seem him playing Hold 'Em?
*cue ESPN2 telecast*
Announcer: Here's James Bond, he's got 2 aces. And there's the dastardly Phil Helmuth, let's see what he's got under his sleeve...OOOH, two queens! The odds are NOT in his favor!
Bad idea.
