I also have a favorite quote.
“The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; happens at the poker table all the time.” - General David Shoup.

Poker is dangerous when it comes to underestimate the opponent. I mean who can guarrante he'll 100 percent win the match against somebody? It's super confusing, and unfair side of this game, because even if you study/play for 20 years, even if you're the best player based on your records, you can still lose against amateurs even in headsup match too. I don't sure if we can name any other game or sport field with same posibility. If you take the grandmaster to chess match, he'll win 100 out of 100 games against non-profesional player.
