Poker is a skill game pretending to be a chance game.

Poker is a game where you don't have to have the best hand to win. Poker is really reading other people and reading human emotion, which certainly comes into play in business.

Poker is meant to be enjoyed.

The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.

Yes, I think poker really isn't gambling.

Being able to pit your wits against literally hundreds of other people is really exciting and ultimately the biggest single challenge for a poker player.

Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.

Poker has such an element of competitivness that other games don't have.
