But in a tournament, you can be said in for all your money at any point so you can't make any mistakes so you have to, it's all about where you're sitting at the table.

I mean being a writer is like being a psychoanalyst, but you don't get any patients.

I hate writing.

I could think of worse ways of going than at the poker table.
