Runner Runner Page #2
- Fifty.
- Fifty. Fantastic.
Hey, Richie, it's me, Craig.
I'm a very good friend of yours.
You cracked 50? What do you say
you just pull back some of that cake?
Fifty doesn't get me to graduation, Craig.
What did I tell you?
This is the one you wait for.
No, no, no, you gotta be kidding me.
How did you know to fold?
We got the next one. Here we go, baby.
Richie, let's go. Stay in it.
Come on, don't bet at that. Fold!
Sh*t, how did you know to bet at that?
How did they know eight-high was good?
If you're a poker player,
a real poker player,
there is no such thing as luck.
Richie, you got to stop, man.
I can't let short-term variance slow me
down. That's the sucker play.
This guy plays too bad for me to stop.
If you lose over the long term,
there is a reason.
And this guy was too bad to be the reason.
he'd just raise or fold.
Raising when I was weak,
folded when I was trapping.
That's not good, that's great.
And this guy wasn't great.
When you get beat straight-up,
it hurts like hell.
When you get hustled,
it's a f***ing dagger in the eye.
You were right.
See this right here?
This is way outside the norm.
I knew it. That's why I brought it to you.
I compared it against
thousands of players, right?
With at least 2,500 recorded hands.
Look how far outside the normal win
rates the guys who beat you are.
What's that, like, over a million to one?
Dude, it's like winning Powerball
four times in a row.
Richie? What the hell?
Christ, I haven't seen you in what?
Four years?
I don't know, Dad.
I stopped counting.
You stopped counting, I count.
You, uh, got a minute?
Oh, yeah. Come in, sit down.
What the hell are you doing here?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
What do you need?
Have you got any connections
in Costa Rica?
Why? Are you going down to Costa Rica?
Are you gonna gamble?
Are you a chip off the old block now?
No, I'm not.
I always thought you were an action guy.
I'm not looking to gamble.
Oh.
Well, what then?
I was hoping you knew somebody
who could get me close to Ivan Block.
No. I don't know anybody like that.
That's out of my league. Way out.
He started that site,
and he had a dozen competitors.
I know. You're sure?
There's nobody
from all the years at the tables?
No, there's nobody.
All the chits are going
the other way now, son.
Now, wait a minute.
Where the hell are you going?
Come on. Stick around, play a little bit.
Here.
Richie. Richie,
you're not even listening to me.
Richie, what about finals, huh?
I got extensions.
Okay, but where are you going?
- Costa Rica.
- Costa Rica.
Did you get your shots?
Because there are monkeys there.
Monkeys that bite you with disease.
