Poker folklore gets twisted into myths and lies over years of games and drinks. Truth is, luck and ugly betting will always beat skill. Them math boys say skills give an edge, but skills can't overcome a bad beat.
The Myth: Only winners play, losers sit. Truth: Only fools think they always win. Win or lose, the game goes on. Real players keep betting no matter their stack.
The Lie: You've gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. Baloney. There's only one time a real player folds: when the blinds bust 'em. You don't get good by folding. You get good by raising into oblivion.
In poker, wisdom means knowing the pot odds of your delusion. A busted player never walks; he stumbles back to the table drunk on the dream of revenge. For some, poker's not just a game - it's life itself. But life and poker both come down to cards and calls, risks and regrets. Skill and luck together make the pot, but fire and flame really spark the game.
