Zero chance that Tobey Maguire would agree to that movie. It would show Toby to be a scumbag (see Molly's Game). He's generally known to be an unpleasant person and making another movie about his poker playing would highlight his unlikeability and likely kill his career even more than it already is.

When I lived in Boston, there was a poker game at an undisclosed location, the dealer had a mechanical shuffler, and the cut was made by a random player. Plus, there was a card blocker incase the bottom card was accidentally exposed and made base dealing tougher to make. Every 100 orbits, both decks were shredded, and a two brand new decks were opened. The game was supervised by the organizer and the cocktail ladies that were secretly trained to catch cheaters. Trust me, this is one game you did not want to be caught actually fucking cheating.

If you really want to know how bad of a job they did adapting this into film, "Houston" was barely in the movie and when he was he was portrayed as a desperately lonely gambler who kept needing to borrow big sums of money.
There's a fine line between poker player and actor/actress.

The movie is her own distorted way of presenting what really happened. In the movie she was presented as a "strong independent woman" who managed to organize games and do it all by herself. Reality: She was just in a glorified secretary of Viper Room's owner reffered to as a "great piece of ass" by him. She was nothing but an eye candy to make the players more comfortable, who was told who to seduce/recruit and who to sweet talk by Tobey. She was not in charge of anything, not even for a single moment. Her role in all of this was to give the game a feminine touch, because it was proven that males respond to attractive females' suggestions way better than to men's. So Tobey would tell her what to do and who to scope for and her job was to introduce herself to the potential fish and talk to them about how there is a game and lure them to come check it out. She was nothing but an advertising panel for Tobey's game. I mean the rumor that he made her bark like a seal for chips speaks tons about the power dynamic between the two and who was who.
