Poll: Most memorable Johnny Chan scene in Rounders?
Got in a discussion about poker popularity and the Limit vs. No-Limit debate.

Someone replied that the "famous Chan bluff scene" was LIMIT. So that gave me the idea for this.
Also,
Script writing contest: LimitRounders
Nothing can beat EuroRounders, but I still think this has potential...

Also, Chan folding to MikeÂ’s 5bet, because the next hand of LHE Chan folds after being 5bet will be the first one.
LimitRounders:
They're trying to goad me, trying to own me. But this isn't a gunfight. It's not about pride or ego. It's limit hold'em.. I can leave now, enjoying the positive variance of a sun run against unsustainable rake. That's the sane play. I told Worm you can't lose much playing limit. But you can't win much either.
Chan secretly tapes Mike banging Petra and blackmails him into telling him whether or not he “had it”.
Knish: You sat down with the Iceman and you got flatbarreled?
Yeah. I didn't want to tell you while you were in there.
I didn't want you to get froze like that.
The Mike versus Chan scene doesn't make sense. That isn't how you make a move in limit holdem. Now Chan is a grinder like Mike, but Seidel is still a top tournament player.
You have to go and ruin everything, don't you?
(Chan v. Seidel was a crappy transfer from low-quality video. Chan v. McDermott was filmed with a real camera and film. No contest.)
