“Poker is a fun game, but it is just a game. It is a game of some information, not total information. It is a game of some luck, but not total luck. It is a game of some skill, but not total skill. It is a game of hustling that doesn't always reward the hustler. It is a card game that steals from the artists to give to the scientists who then get robbed by the hustlers, before they give it back to the artists again. It is hilariously broken. You will die 500 years before your luck catches up to you. No game contains your redemption, so look not for it here. It is beautiful because it is so meaningless.” PhilosophyPoker Book:Exploitative Play in Live Poker: How to Manipulate your Opponents into Making Mistakes Source: Exploitative Play in Live Poker: How to Manipulate your Opponents into Making Mistakes
