dvd, No Limit. A Search for the American Dream - Holdem Poker

Is high-stakes poker a metaphor for the American Dream? A bi-coastal couple, Susan and Tim, carry their independent film company and four-year-old son on an eight month ride through the world of tournament poker. Their plan: Play in six high-stakes poker tournaments. Win some money. Document their journey. Save their company. Business and formerly romantic partners, Susan and Tim often disagree. Susan is a self-directed, high energy gambler who has won poker tournaments before. Tim is her sensible but anxious mate and often her unwanted conscience. No Limit takes us through the highs and lows of their quest. Along the way, we get to meet the peculiar players from around the globe who populate the poker world and hear their thoughts on poker's connection to the American dream. They are, by turns, passionate, overwrought, insightful and absurd. None are boring, and many have become superstars in their sport. Primarily, they speak to the virtues of both risk taking and a psychological understanding of other people. As Mirage Resorts' CEO Bobby Baldwin states, "you can't play business defensively; you can't have a relationship defensively. It's about offense." None of the players are very offensive, rather they're a surprisingly articulate, multi-ethnic set of individuals, admirably determined to follow their own path. At the same time, they follow strict, sometimes amusing poker social conventions. Their colorful interviews are the heart of the movie. As Susan struggles to scoop a jackpot, we also see the effect the poker tour is having on her relationships, both with Tim and their son. Clearly, poker moms are not like soccer moms. While exploring themes of greed, addiction, individualism, talent and freedom, Tim and Susan have made an entertaining documentary, guiding us through an offbeat world few of us will enter. Is there a happy ending? This is about the American Dream, after all...

Hyvin vähäistä hiusjälkeä, josta ei ole haittaa toistossa.

Mahdollinen postitus pienessä Helposti-kuoressa (1-2 cd- tai dvd-levyä).

POSTIKULUT, NOUTO, YM.
Postitus enintään todellisten postikulujen suuruisena. Toimituskuluina on ilmoitettu kohteen halvin mahdollinen postitushinta, vaikka tämä ei ole esimerkiksi postikorttien kohdalla aina suositeltavin vaihtoehto joko olemattoman tai täysin puuttuvan suojauksen vuoksi. Huutoja voi kerätä yhteen isommaksi kirje- / pakettilähetykseksi, jolloin postitus saattaa tulla halvemmaksi. Lisätietoja Postin hinnat-sivulla.
Ostaja maksaa huudon lisäksi mahdolliset postikulut etukäteen tililleni tai rahat käteen noudettaessa. Yritän postittaa huudot mahdollisimman hyvin suojattuina parin kolmen (2-3) päivän kuluessa nähtyäni maksusuorituksen tililläni.
