The betting structure is completely different.

Phew, I'm glad that you said that, b/c when I went to the website I thought "Crap! What was the name of that movie?" Fortunately I only had to come back here and finish reading your post.
Regarding that...
Do they call it brag in the movie? I thought it might have been called some other game, but that could be my crappy memory. I just remember that the game tehy played matched the website description, specifically the three 3's thing and the weird-ass betting.
At the beginning of the movie, the hero ends up loosing his fathers bar, b/c he doesn't have enough $$ to see the last bet. I wasn't sure if this was the classic movie poker error "Oh, you don't have enough, so you lose" myth, or if this was something weird to do with the game they were playing. It sounds like (from teh website) that they do have an "all-in" equilivent, though.
