Everyone gets lucky once in a while, but no one is consistently lucky.

The thought of money and fame and all that is nice to have. But it's not what's really important.

Try to decide how good your hand is at a given moment. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

I once went a whole summer without seeing the sun. I would play all night, then sleep all day.

May the flop be with you.

To start with you had to keep from getting arrested by the police. Then, you had to keep from getting cheated in the games. You also had to worry about collecting the money if you won. Then finally, after all that was said and done - you had to keep from getting hijacked.

I still have the mentality of a 19-year-old mind.
