“If you don’t talk, you make them uncomfortable, and when they’re uncomfortable, they play worse.” He honestly lived to win. It’s why he’s the best.

He taps in too well...its scary but I can see how he could do it...tapped into myself...its super raw and scary to get chips pushed your way when the cards don’t matter after that flick or lack of confidence you sniff out in your opponent...its why I study more and play less...also, I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate losing! Yeah, no, I’m a terrible loser. ;)

Yeah they had rules I think you had to play for a minimum of I forget if it was one hour another words no hit and runs I think you had to have a minimum of 50,000 on the table cash or chips actually I thought it was 4000 8000 but I might be wrong I didn’t get too close to the table I do remember Ivy playing obviously Larry playing a Ted forest I can’t remember the restThis was before all the television boom so at the time they were playing I didn’t know who any of the players were because they weren’t that well-known as far as television recognition goes

"Everyone was against me playing poker in my entire family ... The only one who was for me playing was my grandfather ... He would say, 'I know that if I told you not to do it, it'll make you want to do it even more, so I'm just going to go ahead and support it' ... The more people told me I couldn't do it, the more I just wanted to prove them wrong. It was almost like I had to do it."
