I would rather be the one getting a bad beat than be the one giving a bad beat.
To get a bad beat means you had skill to make the play.
To win with a bad beat means you didn't have the brains to know that
you were beat and caught some lucky cards.

We play because poker's not a scratchoff ticket. A halfcourt jumper.
Or a knock on wood. It's no game of luck, poker. It's a game of patience.
And well-timed aggression. We know when we play, a little luck helps...
but luck can't explain why final tables have so many familiar faces.

"I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream.
Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect,
heals the spirit, and – when played well, nourishes the wallet."
