just curious , if anyone knows —

is this the same game played by FTX sam in that Michael Lewis crypto biopic ??

I've not watched FTX's biopic - I think it's one Michael got wrong. But Michael Lewis is a Liar's Poker fan from his days at Salomon.

what do you think he got wrong (in general or particularly) ??

not saying it was my favorite book but i did enjoy michael lewis’ description of the card game & such

Which book? OP seems to be referencing _Going Infinite_ which is widely regarded as a bad take[1], while the card game you reference seems to be Liar's Poker, from Lewis' book of the same name.
