The movie “Rounders” is a great primer on Texas Hold ‘Em Poker. Not so much the game of poker, but the gamesmanship behind the game. What motivates players to play, and what really separates winners from losers. There’s this adage, even referenced by Warren Buffet, that if you sit in on a poker game and don’t see a sucker, you’re the sucker.

The main scenes in the movie feature Teddy KGB (played with a fabulous accent by John Malkovich) and Mike McDermott, the troubled law student played by Matt Damon. It’s a great movie, though with many predictable plot turns. You know that eventually the bad guy gets taken down, you just don’t know when.

When that bad guy gets taken down, he utters this fantastic line of surrender. You won’t forget it, and if you ever have to say the line yourself, you’ll no doubt say it with the same Russian inflection.
