Good fun - some sexual tension
greg-201-51978922 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Thought this was fun, but not the most intriguing episode.
A hayseed entry to a poker tournament disappears and the tournament holder calls in the Lightman Foundation.
Turns out he has been banned from Vegas because he took down some high rollers.
There is a fun gambling sub-plot which is amusing and also some purposely stereotyped poker players.
The chemistry between the Dr and Poppy is palpable, and that has a twist to it later which is quite amusing also. Don't trust anyone in Poker.
Some of the game-play tactics the players adopt against each other are fun and it's quite a quick fire episode, so hence the rating 7 out of 10.
Bit confused about the relationship between Tim Roth and Kelli Williams after the 2 previous episodes given what happens here. It may well be explained in series 1 which I missed.

The Tournament of Poker in Las Vegas
claudio_carvalho15 January 2024
The tournament of poker in Las Vegas has come to the final, and the young player Jake Hartman is missing. The casino owner Hugh Ellis hires The Lightman Group to learn what has happened to him. Cal, Dr. Foster and Reynolds travel to Las Vegas to interview the finalists, who are the prime suspects of Jake's disappearance. Along the investigation, secrets are disclosed, and the dead body of the gambler Abe Tostevin is found in the trunk of a car. But where is Jake?
"Fold Equity" is an episode of "Lie to Me" where the gorgeous Kelli Williams shines. Her beauty and elegance are highlighted by her dresses in this episode. Cal probably had a love affair with the sexy Poppy Wells. The conclusion in the roulette is silly since his group needs money. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Fold Equity"
