A recurring topic among poker players concerns the relative lack of good feature films depicting poker. Even consensus picks for “best poker films” like The Cincinnati Kid or Rounders are often criticized by poker players for lacking realism, even though a wholly accurate depiction of poker play isn’t always a top priority when it comes to cinematic storytelling.

You are playing in a $ 0.10/$ 0.25 six-handed cash game. It’s been a pretty standard loose/passive low-stakes game, but you’ve kept it fairly solid. You have a stack of about $ 13 when the action folds to you on the button, holding A♠-9♦. You make a standard 3x raise to $ 0.75, the small blind folds and the villain on the big blind calls with about $ 22 behind.
