Poker gems, #225

Ed Miller, in Card Player magazine column, March 11, 2009 (vol. 22, #5), p. 84.


As social a game as poker is, it's also an extremely lonely one. You enjoy your wins and suffer your losses alone. No one knows how much you've won or lost today, this week, or this month. Even worse, no one cares. And I mean, no one. Even your mom doesn't care. When I play poker, my wife doesn't care how I did. My friends don't care. No one cares.
