“I don’t know too much about the game. Maybe someone can enlighten me,
Would there ever be a chance a hand like this that was played, would ever
come about? I know. I know. It’s a game of chance and anything is possible.
But seriously. Do you ever think you would see such a hand?”
It’s not that Straight Flush is that unimaginable, they’re rare but they do
happen. What’s unimaginable is a flush, two full houses, and a straight
flush all at the same table, by all contestants. That’s what’s far out.
Even with the World Series of Poker, most players at the table fold, and
most winning hands are pairs and what not.

Admittedly much less impressive having dealt these games at a casino, sort
of. Even with a full house, it’s a hard sell to believe that the man would
go all in without having the straight flush. Calling it would be a very,
very tough decision.

Does he actually keep the money or does he donate it to MI6?

Is it even conceivable that Bond or anyone with a fucking brain wouldnt go
all-in on a straight flush?

With everybody all in with very different actual bets, it would have been
funny if, say, the black dude had the high hand and got 44 million, and
Bond and Chiffre then duked it out for the remaining 70m. (Bond gets the
final 1m in any case)

@taytipi the total prize was 115mil obviously Le Chiffre was 1 mil short
which means he had 39.5 mil and bond had 40.5 so pot24+6+5+40.5+39.5=115

Why would you just limp in there with pocket 66 or 88 – 4-handed: easy
shove pre-flop 88 asuming he is cutoff, though call for the A6o although he
is probably ahead of the range of a small stack pushing almost ATC at that
spot probably, he should have isolated against the co and shoved to, Bond
folds his 57s trash hands and looks for more + ev spots and the guy in BB
is getting good odds to call allin with. Massive cooler for the 88 when he
hits trips and then gets rivered by the A6o bigstack

When this book was written by Fleming slow rolling was considered the norm
and everyone showed their hands in turn no matter what the strength.
