Believer 2 (2023) Review

"Believe 2" Netflix Poster

“Believer 2” Netflix Poster

Director: Baek Jong-Yeol
Cast: Cho Jin-Woong, Cha Seung-Won, Han Hyo-Joo, Oh Seung-Hoon, Kim Dong-Young, Lee Joo-Young, Kang Seung-hyun, Jung Joon-won, Tzi Ma, Andreas Fronk
Running Time: 114 min.

By Paul Bramhall

The decision to remake Hong Kong auteur Johnnie To’s 2013 crime thriller Drug War as a Korean production would prove to be a winning one when Believer was released in 2018. While the original was To’s first venture to see if he could transpose his distinctive style to the Mainland (which through some subtle manoeuvring, he successfully did), the remake fully utilised the creative freedom the Korean film industry has to make a more expansive, layered, and some may argue superior movie. Drug War never received a sequel, however thanks to Netflix surging money into Korean content after the success of the 2021 series Squid Game, in 2023 they greenlit Believer 2, which landed on the streaming giant’s platform in November of the same year (following its premiere at the Busan International Film Festival).

Opening with a needlessly overlong recap of the original through various key scenes being stitched together in rapid succession, it soon becomes clear that the sequel isn’t so much a follow-up as it is a gap fill exercise. The gap in question (and if you haven’t seen Believer, the rest of this paragraph will contain spoilers) being the events that took place between the penultimate scene that takes place in Yongsan train station, and the closing scene in which we see grizzled cop Cho Jin-woong (Me and Me, The Hunt) finally face the mysterious Mr. Lee, played Continue reading

The Influence of Poker in Movies and TV Shows

The Influence of Poker in Movies and TV ShowsMany historians believe that poker originated in the US in the 1800s. Some say it has roots dating back nearly 1000 years and crossing several continents and communities.  They think it’s an odd coincidence that poker is similar to the 16th-century Persian card game called As Nas. However, there’s no evidence to prove that’s where it started. 

Today, poker accommodates all gamers. It’s evolving with new variants like Omaha, Five-card Draw, Chinese Poker and more, enhancing its growth and popularity. Since it’s a social activity with great risks and winning chances, it keeps players on the edge of their seats, making the gameplay more exciting. 

The Rise of Poker in Pop Culture

Movies played a key role in the poker game’s surge in popularity. The rise in popularity started in the late 20th century. Movies like Rounders and the World Series of Poker helped gaming enthusiasts see poker in a new light. The World Series of Poker aired in the 1970s, while Rounders was released in 1998. 

Poker plays a significant role in captivating the audience on screens as movie creators depict memorable characters, high-stakes games, and thrilling storylines. In Rounders, Matt Damon and Edward Norton showed fans that poker was more than just a game – it’s a profession. It helped create a chatter around poker and attract more gamers. 

The game of poker has also been featured in various TV shows, including the Celebrity Poker Showdown, which aired on Bravo from 2003 to 2006. The show had celebrities battling against each other, but the winner would donate the prize money to a charity of choice. Another popular show was Poker After Dark, which aired on NBC from 2007 to 2011.

Iconic Poker Movies and Shows

Here are other iconic movies and TV shows with poker scenes and storylines. 

1. The Cincinnati Kid

The Cincinnati Kid is a 1965 American drama film that raised over $7 million. It has an amazing storyline and great suspense keeping the audience engaged and guessing. The movie follows an upcoming poker player who seeks to prove himself worthy by partaking in high-stakes poker games with seasoned players. 

Although the protagonist gets a chance to play The Man, he finds out that the game is rigged in his favour. However, he desires to beat his opponent in a straight game. The success of The Cincinnati Kid laid the foundation for other poker-themed films.

2. Maverick

Maverick is a 1994 popular comedy film based on the Maverick TV series. It features Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster who need money for a poker tournament but face comic mishaps and challenges. 

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. However, it remained a memorable film for gamers and fans, creating a lasting image of poker and casino gaming. It takes a lighthearted spring around the world of poker, whilst giving viewers a fun and entertaining film to watch. 

3. Casino Royale 

Casino Royale is a 2006 007 adventure, action, and thriller film, the twenty-first in the EON Production’s James Bond series. However, in Casino Royale, 007 is more trained, maintaining a cold-hearted killer demeanour, overcoming, modifying, and improvising in most situations. 

Bond plays poker instead of Chemin-de-Fer or Crabs. He must defeat a private banker who funds terrorist organisations in a high-stakes game of poker at Casino Royale. The plot is so captivating that Daniel Craig, though initially hesitant, changed his mind and accepted the part of James Bond after reading the finished script. 

4. Molly’s Game

Molly’s Game is a biographical crime and drama film based on the 2014 biography of Molly’s Game by Molly Bloom. It follows a lady who runs an undercover poker empire for Hollywood celebrities, business tycoons, and athletes. 

Her business empire gets exposed, and she becomes the target of an FBI investigation. Changes between the real-life and Molly’s game biography are minimal, hence the film raised considerable chatter in the gaming world. 

5. High Stakes Poker

Photo by Cottonbro Studio

High Stakes Poker is an American television program. When it first aired, High Stakes Poker was unique because it didn’t take place in a tournament setting. The TV program shows high-stakes No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em. It features amateur and seasoned gamers as they risk hundreds of thousands of cash. 

Although the series pays gamers to participate in gameplay, they must risk losing more money to participate in the game. The winnings are real as Gut Hansen won $575,700 with four fives, beating Daniel Negreanu’s full house. 

6. Ocean Eleven

Ocean Eleven is an American heist film directed by Steven Soderbergh and released in the US by Warner Bros Pictures. The story follows friends Clooney and Pitt, who plan to heist $160 million from a casino owner. The film received great reviews from critics and garnered $450.7 million worldwide. 

Critics believe that the poker scene in Ocean Eleven set the scene for the series. It shows that our protagonist is intelligent, resilient, and a great risk-taker. The poker scene helps to establish the brotherly bond between Rusty and Danny, two criminals with a history of schemes. 

Conclusion

Hollywood films made poker a glamorous game. Poker scenes seem exhilarating with fun twists, suspense, and flair. The game greatly influenced how entertainment and social interactions are crafted. It’s hard to miss a representation of poker in movies and TV shows. 

Poker went from a simple game to influencing fashion trends and lifestyle, music and celebrity endorsements, video games, and literature. Its ability to symbolise human emotion and strategy serves as a unifying social activity in all cultures.

They could be easily bought and sold within the online casino environment. They held no real-world value.

With the Emergence of Physical Casino Chips

Maximizing Your Winnings with Blocker Bet Poker: The Winning Formula

Winning money gambling isn’t about simple luck. If it were, you’d unexpectedly get rich at some point without trying to.

Instead, winners know how to calculate their next bet. They research their odds, know when to fold, and seek out the most advantageous promotions. When done effectively, they can generate greater payouts for themselves.

With this in mind, we’re here to walk you through a specific game strategy to hone your payouts like pros. Keep reading to learn more about blocker bet poker and how it will elevate your game.

Understanding Blocker Bets: What Are They?

A blocker bet is a small bet made on the river to prevent your opponent from making a larger bet. It’s a proactive move that aims to control the size of the pot and gather information about your opponent’s hand.

By strategically using your hand as a “blocker” to sure potential strong hands, you can influence your opponent’s decisions and gain an advantage.

The Winning Formula: When to Use Blocker Bets

The primary goal of a blocker bet poker game is to control the size of the pot and potentially avoid a larger bet from your opponent. Here are situations where using blocker bets might be a winning strategy:

Narrowing Down the Opponent’s Range

Before making a blocker bet, assessing your opponent’s likely range of hands is crucial. If the community cards suggest a possible straight or flush, a well-timed blocker bet can force your opponent to fold weaker hands or call with a worse hand.

Taking Control of the Pot Size

Blocker bets are especially effective when you’re unsure about the strength of your opponent’s hand. By making a small bet, you control the size of the pot while minimizing your losses if your opponent has a stronger hand. This cautious approach can be a game-changer, preventing you from committing too many chips to a losing cause.

Extracting Value with Strong Hands

Conversely, a block bet can extract maximum value from your opponent when you hold a strong hand. By inducing a call with a smaller bet, you avoid scaring off your opponent and ensure that the pot grows steadily. You can also practice this when you want to bet on sports, as it’s essential to know when to raise the stakes and be more conservative.

Blocker Bets vs. Standard Bets: The Distinct Advantage

In a poker game, blocker bets and standard bets are two different strategies that players employ in certain situations. Let’s explore each advantage:

Keeping Your Opponent Guessing

Unlike standard bets that often reveal the strength of your hand, blocker bets maintain an air of mystery. By making a small bet, you keep your opponent guessing about the true nature of your hand.

Controlling the Dynamics of the Game

Blocker bets allow you to take control of the game’s dynamics. Whether in a defensive position, protecting your stack, or in an offensive position, maximizing your winnings and understanding when and how to deploy a blocker bet can shift the momentum in your favor.

Mastering the Art of Blocker Bet Poker

In the intricate game of poker, mastering the art of blocker bet poker can be the winning formula that sets you apart from the competition. Remember, anticipation and strategic moves are the keys to success in a poker game, as in chess. Add the blocker bet to your arsenal, and watch your betting victories multiply.
