More plot plot plot and Worm shows up in the climax of the movie as a dealer at the casino where the big cash game is taking place and somehow sacrifices himself to get the shady big bad in trouble which gets mikey out of trouble and worm ends up back in jail playing for smokes but is happy cause he has redeemed himself and is back doing what he loves and mike is free and clear and is back with 3 stacks of.

So plot plot plot, he calls jo for the legal help, plot plot plot, cameo by johnny chan again and maybe doyle brunson, plot plot plot big cash game similar to when the corporation took on Andy beale except this andy beale type character is shady AF and the results of the game will determine Mikes fate.

So when the movie starts instead of him rummaging through his kind of crappy nyc apartment to pull his 30k bankroll together while giving voice over, this time he is narrating a quasi recap of his last 15 years as his character rushes around his pretty nice modern vegas home as he tries to hide his 300k bankroll before the feds/irs/whoever bust down his door because of some legal problem stemming from stuff his business partners did probably connected to the previously mention poker website. My guess is he would have gotten swept up in the poker boom, won a bracelet or two, wrote a somewhat generic strategy book, helped start up one of the many online poker rooms, lost money on that, got caught up in playing all the big televised cash games and tourneys where he doesnt do nearly as good as he would have if he was playing the non pro whales in vegas cash games. I also think that if you really look at all the decisions mike makes in that movie, it doesnt make sense to think he went to vegas, won a few bracelets, and has just been living a good life as he grows and grows his bank roll while making good decision after good decision. I would like to see a sequel rather than a reboot especially if it can touch on some of the aspects of poker away from the table that have popped up over the last 15 years that werent a thing when rounders was made.
