Poker Bustouts Documentary

A new controversial documentary from Willis entertainment claims to expose the hard truth behind the glamour of professional poker. The new 60 minute documentary is supported by Vegas standup comedian Vinni Favotirto who delivers sharp and hilariously funny commentary throughout the movie. Poker Bustouts documentary is trying to show the world what's truly hiding behind all the glamour you see on TV poker. Films creator Robert Willis, a professional poker player for over a decade himself, poses the question nobody bother to ask - "What happens to the players that do win the tournaments"?

Every middle-upper level poker player knows that once you get into the life of professional poker there is no way out. Not only that the freedom this lifestyle incorporates is tempting by itself, the game is stronger than the gambler. A professional poker player always needs to get in the game, any game. "Every poker player goes broke at least once, if he keeps playing long enough", this common poker saying has a lot of truth to it, especially if you play poker for a living. Most professional tournament and high-limit players play poker for decades and have experienced the downsides of poker on their own flesh.

Poker Bustouts definitely achieves its goal. It will get you to look at professional poker in a whole different way, beyond the regular WSOP championships and the over pumped poker movies and specials you see on TV.
