“Get your money in when you have the best of it. Protect it when you don't.”
Matt Damon - Mike McDermott“I've often seen these people, these squares at the table, short stack and long odds against them. All their outs gone. One last card in the deck that can help them. I used to wonder how they could let themselves get into such bad shape, and how the hell they thought they could turn it around.”
Matt Damon - Mike McDermott“Mike, I learned it from you. You always told me this was the rule. Rule number one: Throw away your cards the moment you know they can't win. Fold the fucking hand.” - Jo
“That's the safe play. I told Worm you can't lose what you don't put in the middle. But you can't win much either.”
Matt Damon - Mike McDermott“- Worm: What did I ever do to that guy?
- Mike McDermott: You fucked his mother.
- Worm: [amused] Yeah but she was a good looking older woman you gotta give me that.”

Matt Damon - Mike McDermott“We can't run from who we are, our destiny chooses us.”
Martin Landau - Abe Petrovsky“Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker. Guys around here will tell ya, you play for a living, it's like any other job. You don't gamble, you grind it out. Your goal is to win one big bet an hour, that's it.”

- Moogie: Oh...”

Matt Damon - Mike McDermott“- Mike McDermott: I watch the cards but I also watch the player react to the cards. That's how I knew the DA made his two pair and judge Kaplan missed the flush, I was watching their eyes when they checked their river cards, their faces tell you everything.
- Abe Petrovsky: [confused] You watch the man? I never knew you had to calculate so much...” (continue)(continue reading)Matt Damon - Mike McDermott
Martin Landau - Abe Petrovsky- Worm: You know what always cheers me up, when I'm feeling shitty?
- Mike McDermott: No, what's that?
- Worm: Rolled up aces over kings. Check-raising stupid tourists and taking huge pots off of them. Playing all-night high-limit Hold'em at the Taj, 'where the sand turns to gold'. Stacks and towers of checks I can't even see over.Edward Norton - Worm
Matt Damon - Mike McDermottIn 'Confessions of a Winning Poker Player', Jack King said, 'Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career'.

Although Kenney came away with the win, she did not take home any of the prize pool, which was all donated to charity. After an additional donation from ACR, it is estimated that the tournament raised $2 million to benefit hunger-relief efforts in the United States.
So I physically collapsed and slept for about an hour after the event today. No, I don't have official # ’s. My guess is 2 M ish. Thank you to everyone that participated. With days what they are it was nice to make things a little better In The world. Back Monday need family time
