In Life and Gambling We all Agree on Luck!
It looks as though the entire population of the world should sit down and agree on the definition of luck. Look at these…
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. - President Thomas Jefferson
Everything in life is luck. - Donald Trump
Fortune favors the bold. - Terence, 190-159 BC
There is no such thing as luck. - Star Wars
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck. - Orson Welles
Shallow men believe in luck. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Diligence is the mother of good luck. - Benjamin Franklin
Some folk want their luck buttered. - Thomas Hardy
I believe in luck. How else can you explain the success of those you dislike? Jean Cocteau
Fortune Fares Better than Luck
There is a narrow difference between fortune and luck, but it eludes me.
"Fortune knocks at every man's door once in a lifetime, but in a good many cases the man is in a neighboring saloon and does not hear her." - Mark Twain
Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered. - William Shakespeare
Fortune always will confer an aura - Of worth, unworthily; and in this world - The lucky person passes for a genius. - Euripides
And When it Comes to Poker…
Poker, and specifically Texas Hold'em Poker, is sweeping the world. You can even watch it on TV. Everyone seems to agree that it's good for us - one way or another.
"And there's the World Series of Poker, known as the last American Gold Rush. In the 2005 tourney, more than 5,600 players competed for the top prize of $7.5 million." Richard Roeper.
"Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead." Jackie Robinson.
"Hold'em is to stud what chess is to checkers." Johnny Moss.
How long does it take to learn poker, Dad?" "All your life, son." Michael Pertwee
"I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and - when played well, nourishes the wallet." Lou Krieger
