Who is Teddy? Well, he is the Oreo eating Russian mobster (played by John Malkovich) that ran an underground poker room in the movie Rounders. In one scene, Matt Damon is trying to win his way out of debt to one of Teddy’s comrades by playing heads up with Teddy. Damon had already sworn off poker after a huge loss to the Russian in a previous match up. This time around Damon’s character discovers Teddy’s tell and sticks it to him good. Not only does he get out of debt, but wins enough to buy a seat to the World Series of Poker, which is where he is headed as the movie ends. If you’re a poker player and haven’t seen this classic, you need to put it in your netflix queue.
