A well scripted, well acted, and with an interesting plot, rounders portrays the life of Mike McDermott, a small time gambler who gets into some serious trouble after vouching for the wrong guy. The movie depicts almost every emotional aspect associated with the 'swings' of No-Limit Hold'Em. Lets see some of the best quotes that Rounders brought with it.

Prof. Petrovsky: We can't run from who we are. Our destiny chooses us.
Mike McDermott: (quoting a saying of Jack King) Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career.
Jo: (after leaving Mike) I learned it from you.You always told me this was the rule. Rule number one: Throw away your cards the moment you know they can't win. Fold the f****** hand.
