“Everyone has to deal with the hand that they are dealt with in the poker game called Life.”

“It doesn't matter what has happened to you, it matters what you do with what has happened to you. Life is like a poker game. You don't get to choose the cards you are dealt, but it's entirely up to you how to play the hand.”

“Life may deal you a bad hand or take away a good hand you were already dealt. The way you play the hand is how your life is defined. Just like in poker you can end up winning no matter how bad the cards are you have.”

“Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.”

“I'd spent five minutes looking at Twitter once and felt I'd wandered into a poker game where everyone immediately displayed their hands against the cool green of the felt.”

“That was just how we spoke. Every conversation a game of poker, every line a bet or a raise, a bluff or a call.”
