Rounders movie question

I don't play poker so I don't quite understand the ending.  Damon is holding 8s 9s and gets the straight

 

What if Teddy KGB also had a 8 & 9?  What does the winning hand come down to?

wouldve been a split pot

thx nj.  That explains why teddy was a tad upset at the end.

KGB, has nothing to gain by playing Matt Damon's character.  All he has to do is wait till midnight and collect the money that Damon had with him.  Why risk losing money for money that's already yours? 

to win more money, damon on TILT

 

that would be fine if damon had the money to pay him.

I would never play in a game with a person who already owes me money.

Damon owed him 15,000 before they starting playing, but KGB had taken 30,000 earlier, so he still would have been ahead. Damon was just looking for a game, not necessarily against Teddy. By the way Teddy was holding 10 10, so he hit top set on the flop.

they never said what teddy was holding but if he had 10,10 how could he say with certainty "dat ace could not have helped you" i bet it awl"...

 

I think he had AA

me 2

pretty sure that KGB was holding rockets

KGB had rockets.............)the same hand that beat Mike  (Damon) earlier in the movie and made him go bust

Funny I was just watching a Matt Damon movie last night on TNT for a little bit.    It just got to be so ridiculous I had to turn it off.

 

 

   Good Will Hunting

Good Will Hunting is a great movie

Colonel-

That's precisely it.  He didn't have to do it.  The only thing he stands to gain is the satisfaction of crushing him.  KGB turned it into something personal and it cost him.  One of the morals of the movie. 

 

Not to mention a moral we all should pay attention to when at the poker table or sports wagering.  The more you can take the emotion out of what you're doing, the better off and better decisions you will make. 

 

 

that would be the best if KGB also had 8/9 and damon is all cocky and says, "I flopped the nut straight" and then reaches over for the money all proud of himself and then KGB says, "yea, so did I." split pot. fade to credits.

 

 

 

HAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH.  I cant quit laughing about this.  What is that was the real ending they all agreed on?!?!?!  What a horrible move that would be.

but they wouldve had to laugh like you do in a real game when it happens the "ah good im not beat  but im sort of pissed so here is my phony split the pot laugh"

i like how in the forum, it has the starter of this thread as daystrom but in the thread its mydoglogan....i assume its the same thing but they should fix that

i really don't understand why KGB's partner got all pissed at the end when Matt Damon won because that was actually Ed Norton's debt, that guy wasn't pissed at Damon, he only incurred the debt because he vouched for Norton so there was nothing personal there, why did he flip the table in disgust at the end?

b/c they were partners
