“I’m absolutely gonna win it, because I’m ruthless. I sit at the poker table and my job is to destroy people.” -- James Woods
Wow! What a deep! In my opinion, that phrase could be worse if it was: "...my job is destroy dreams."

My favorite phrase, it would be that not all the time you can get frustrated with poker despite, that it is played well, even if you play perfectly, you can get negative results, I consider, that you have to try to be aware, and play, with good banking management, and in an intelligent way.

You want to be the predator and not the prey so it’s good to crush the dreams of your fellow competitors.

My leak by my all long run long... Nowadays I recognize myself as a fish... It is not good, but at least my mind is closer to the truth.

"He's probably looking at hand rankings."

"Chip and a chair"

I like this quote because as long as you have a positive attitude and a chip, then you are never out of the game. Short stacks can come back and win it :)
