What took me decades to learn, these kids can get on the Internet...What I learned by brute force, dealing out hands, they learn on computers. It tends to make for fairly technical players, but they make up for it with aggression, the kind that comes when you learn things fast.

Saw that I could make more money in one pot than what was in that entire paycheck selling a week of office supplies

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

When you go card dead its torture just sitting there.

Through the years I've never stopped doing things, thinking about things, and I still think young.

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.

A man with money is no match against a man on a mission.
