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 goal is to win $125,000 to develop a feature film. 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. 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. None are boring, and many have become superstars in their sport. While exploring themes of The American Dream, individualism, talent and freedom, this International Award Winning Documentary guides us through an offbeat world few of us will ever enter. <P> Featuring interviews with (partial list): <P> Amir Vahedi<P> Annie Duke<P> Barry Greenstein<P> Bobby Baldwin <P> Charlie Shoten<P> Chip Jett<P> Chris "Jesus" Ferguson<P> Chris Moneymaker<P> Clonie Gowen<P> Daniel Negreanu<P> David "Devilfish" Ulliot<P> David Sklansky<P> Doyle Brunson<P> Evelyn Ng<P> Hendon MOB<P> Howard Lederer<P> James McManus<P> Jennifer Harman<P> Kathy Liebert<P> Kenna James<P> Larry Flynt<P> Layne Flack<P> Linda Johnson<P> Lou Krieger<P> Mark Seif<P> Mel Judah<P> Men "the Master" Nguyen<P> Miami John Cernuto<P> Mike Sexton<P> Phil Gordon <P> Phil Hellmuth<P> Puggy Pearson<P> Scotty Nguyen<P> Steve Lipscomb<P> T.J.

I hated Susan but have seen many like her both male and female. As you will witness throughout the documentary the only thing that makes these compulsive, degenerate gamblers happy is money. I am thankful that I do not see poker that way despite having done well. It is simply sport to me. Another way to compete since I can no longer play baseball, my first love, anymore. Susan actually is a good Omaha player and has cashed recently in the 2007 WSOP. However, she is in over her head when competing against professional players. Notice how they are happy to see her at every single tournament she enters. Why? Because Susan is the F-I-S-H but doesn't realize it. Her husband came off as compassionate and sensible. The documentary was a great idea. Playing poker to "earn money" to develope films is a really BAD idea. Again, it just shows where Susans priorities are. She has none other than playing poker and gambling day and night. A sad testimony to the mother of two children. Having said that this is still a movie worth viewing. Enjoy
