in my opinion it will be an interesting documentary, but we will not learn secrets about how to play certain poker hands. He will explain several useful things, for players who want to play live and we will learn some events from his poker career.

yes, you are right because in general it does not show what interests us to try to learn something useful in our poker game. The documentary is interesting only as biographical.

I think that the film will show what the ordinary life of a poker player and his life as a player looks like. Maybe they will show how they prepare for big tournaments. Of course, none of their ways of playing will be shown, because it would betray their success for victory. They can't afford that

Why does this forum think that the life of a poker player is a waste of time? I think that helps you a lot in how to face big challenges in this sport. The experience of others also helps anyone who wants to one day be a professional player. of poker.

To be honest, I think it can be an interesting documentary. Sometimes such films are really cool and you can learn a lot from them. I think that there are more people who are curious about this film than just us Of course, there will also be those who will not like it, it's completely normal, everyone has different tastes.

one is to see a biographical film that has a lot to say and another is to see a documentary that seems more than likely banal, because the subject is not tempting. I think so, but obviously some are tempted to see and you the same. Good luck in your pursuit, if you have the opportunity to follow him.

yes, every person who is passionate about poker chooses what he will do if he has the opportunity to "intersect" with documentaries or films about this poker subject. People do what they want with their time or interest and that is normal.

I mean people are watching docu series after docu series on worse subjects than these two to be honest. It's not like BBC Scotland is a cultural capital of the british tv landscape.

Each of us has a story to tell with poker, unfortunately it does not appear on the big screen, but this helps us improve our decisions when we talk about poker, it is always very helpful to see these documentaries of players who went through this.

yes, it is, because there are enough phases where people have stories to tell about their games, but for that you have to know how to connect the words to some extent, to come with something beautiful. Where is something nice to say, there will be more followers.

It is very exciting to see stories like this in a documentary, we all have something to tell about our lives and this poker player did it, you can learn a lot from this, he himself says that playing again is quite a challenge.

yes, everyone has their option and if it's not nice, stop watching, but there are so many documentaries and videos with and about poker, where many people can gather some information that will help them.
Of course, there will also be those who will not like it, it's completely normal, everyone has different tastes.
