The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.
From Chris Moneymaker
Poker has such an element of competitivness that other games don't have.
If you're a poker player and you show up at a casino at 8 a.m., you're going to be by yourself or with some people that are rocks and just don't give you any action.
For the most part, I get to do what I want to do. If I want to play poker, I can. If I don't want to play poker, I don't have to.
My favourite movie right now is probably 'Hitch', a Will Smith thing.
Never in a million years did I think the sport of poker would blow up the way it did.
The competition has improved tremendously. In 2003, I could teach a guy how to play poker in an hour and he could win some money. Today, it would take days. The game has gotten so much tougher. So I will spend my time with my family and play when I can.
I'm comfortable with the hold 'em, Omaha and stud high-low. But the other two games aren't my strongest games. I'm not comfortable at all with razz or stud.
The pros really like all the new people playing poker because they love the dead money; but when the money wins they don't like that very much at all.
I'm the first person in my family to play poker.
