Bond to go all in
Well, nevermind who's next in line to be the next James Bond: according to an article on commanderbond.net, the remake of Ian Fleming's first 007 novel, Casino Royale, will not feature Bond playing baccarat, but no-limit Texas hold 'em poker. Wow! Talk about changing times. I remember Bond playing a lot of roulette, craps and other games where the odds are stacked against him whenever he needed money and winning against the odds every time, so I think having him play poker, where skill plays a far greater role, is a great idea.
Poker is sure to be entertaining in the movie, a lot more people understand poker than baccarat, and it's sure to further fuel frenzied masses into getting into the game.
