Nothing else matters. Anything!" “Success is the ability to go from defeat to defeat without losing your enthusiasm.” "It's not always with good cards that you win a full pot." “The bluff is the best card to pull out of your sleeves.” "A man's true feelings come out in a game of poker." For Doyle, respect will always come first, from beginners to experienced players.
