Poker gems, #161




Jason Alexander, interview for ESPN's 9/2/08 broadcast of the WSOP Main Event:


I'm not in this to become the greatest poker player in the world. I just keep it fun. More or less, I'm one of the guys. I just have a hell of a lot more money than they do, and I'm an internationally beloved superstar. Other than that, there's no difference between me and the other guys.

I wasn't too enamored with his quote. His pride surpasses his humor so be on the lookout for the inevitable fall.

Yeah well even though he's loaded, we all know he still has "shrinkage" issues.

He wasn't serious when he said those words. He was being sarcastic, and if anything, self-deprecating.

Mike G said...

Yeah uh thanks tim. You're a regular Phd of dry comedy there.

I saw him saying those words on ESPN and didn't detect any sarcasm. Self-deprecating is about living in a shelter and not about having more money than everyone else.

That was a great quote. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who loved it.
