"HOLD 'EM TEXAS STYLE... OR CRY BLOODY TEARS"

He sure looks familiar, doesn't he? Would you entrust your hard-earned millions to this guy, to get "a reasonable rate of return?"

I doubt it. However, the guy above is in my opinion one of the reasons why "Casino Royale" was so darn enjoyable. Of course, I'm talking about the "Dan Dare" of Denmark, Mr. Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre.

I had the honor and pleasure to meet Mads, when he visited Helsinki last November as the very first stop of the "Casino Royale" PR tour. He was a soft-spoken and genial guy, chain-smoking all the way through the interview. Mads said that he prefers to live in Denmark, as it keeps him straight and honest. Well, you have to tip your hat off to a guy, who wishes to keep his priorities straight (Mads is also a responsible family man).

We here at home have been totally hooked by watching World Poker Tour, which is broadcast in Finland every Saturday night. Even though it has proven quite a challenge to keep your eyelids open (especially after a late sauna bath!), we remain utterly riveted by the larger-than-life spectacle that is WPT.

The international DVD/Blu-ray release of "Casino Royale" is imminent. Therefor, for all you Texas Hold 'Em Poker fans (current and future ones) - the following link provides some great tips how to score at the poker table; how to sucker-bluff your opponents into losing great bets, so that you can cry bloody tears at their losses...
