I learned playing poker that you never count your winnings because that's when you start to lose.

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

I like to play cards. I'm not very good, because I don't want to calculate, I just play by instinct. But I've learned a lot of business philosophy by playing poker.

Yes, I think poker really isn't gambling.

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.

When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot.

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.

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.

I used to sports gamble a lot and I was getting killed on that but then I found poker and really enjoyed it. But it was a hobby more than anything else. I played it every day but only on pretty small stakes.
