Is there any TV show or film which shows this form of gambling in a realistic way ?

I always remember "The Cincinatti kid" (and the turning over of the Jack of Diamonds) , and an 80's TV show called "Big Deal" (?) which at least showed something partially believable.

Rounders is pretty good, the scene where Mike reads the hands of a room full of strangers taken aside. Also worth seeing for John Malkovich's crazy / awesome / crazy-awesome Ukrainian accent.

Although rounders is guilty of amazing hand thing near the start as well but at least it deals with it with a good handful of tension.

And yes Malkovich is excellent in it. Im not sure I'd say hes my favourite actor but would be somewhere in the top 5.

Cancelled along with Heroes.

It has actually picked up a bit the last few episodes although escalating in silliness at least its holding my interest more than earlier.

I don't think I shall miss it though - certainly won't miss Heroes - that became a right chore to watch.

Shame, I thought it's been picking up and I've quite enjoyed it.

Pity , in the last week or so i've watched about 4 episodes back to back and there are actually things happening again

However i think the whole thing goes down as nice idea but poor execution

Up to date with this now, and it has really picked up. Looking forward to the end of the series. All in all, I'm pleased I stuck with it.

Be Excellent To Each Other
