So, if a member of an online casino in Australia wants to watch a real poker movie, it’s better to look for a high-quality documentary. They can be about tournaments, underground clubs, cash games, online play, and individual players. Here are 5 interesting documentaries about poker.

The Stu Ungar Story

It’s a biopic about one of the most famous poker players of all time, based on real events. His story is full of incredible ups and terrible downs. At 14, he became a frequent visitor of underground casinos in New York, at 20, he was forced to move to Las Vegas to escape from debts, and a few years later, he became the youngest WSOP champion at that time for two years in a row. But Stu’s life was not like a “Cinderella story.” He achieved a lot in poker, but at the same time, he lost a lot. Unger repeatedly found himself in a debt hole, then made an incredible comeback and went down to the bottom again.

Stu Unger is a historical figure in the poker world, but not all players and poker fans today know who Stu was. But probably everyone knows about the guy with a similar nickname (“KidPoker”) Daniel Negreanu, in modern poker. A documentary was also made about him, but unlike Unger, it was made during the player’s lifetime.

All-in: A Movie About Poker

This documentary will tell members of the online casino in Australia about the history of poker. It’s based not only on the narration of historical facts but also on a series of interviews with players, writers, tournament organizers, politicians, and other people connected with the industry in one way or another. It tells the story of the rapid growth of poker’s popularity in the US, the poker boom in the early 2000s, and Black Friday. In the preface of the movie, famous players talk about where they were, what they were doing, and what they felt when they learned about the ban on online gambling in America. The movie starts with a story about how poker appeared and how it began to gain popularity in the country.

KidPoker

The movie tells members of the online casino in Australia the biography of one of the most popular poker players of our time, Daniel Negreanu. The movie doesn’t just tell the story of the player in the third person, it contains interesting photos and videos from the poker player’s archives, and tells the story on behalf of Daniel himself, his friends, relatives, and colleagues.

After watching this movie, you will learn a lot about Negreanu, as well as other famous poker players who took part in the filming, including Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Antonio Esfandiari, and others.

Grinders

The story is told on behalf of professional player Matt Gallagher, who came to poker in search of easy money after losing his job during the crisis, and now the game has become his profession. The movie is also based on the stories of his colleagues who make a living from poker.

As part of this movie, a short interview was given by Canadian pro Daniel Negreanu on behalf of a man who has reached considerable heights thanks to the professional game.
