Poker is an extreme sport. You can’t sit out and say, “Oh well, this is good enough.” You have to be always swinging through trees. You are never safe.

I can’t tell you what it’s like to win a WSOP event. People who aren’t big time wear bling (WSOP bracelets) to “prove” they are. The WSOP gives out scores of those bracelets every year. Me? I’m just here to bring home the bacon.

All-in is an easy choice. It is the choice that takes the least thought. It is, in fact, an abdication of choice. It’s like abandoning responsibility: if you are bluffing, the skill comes in determining the smallest bet that will still matter to your opponent, the smallest bet that will tell a good story about the strength of your hand and will get your opponent to fold….and determining that bet amount is hard – certainly much harder than just making the choice to go all-in.

In poker and real life, you’re sometimes seeing an illusion of success. Don’t; let it discourage you. Keep plodding. Keep making correct decisions. If you do that, you’ll leave most of the weak players far behind – and keep gaining on the lucky ones as they begin to falter.

I’m considered the best Omaha Hi-Lo player in the world. And I believe I am! But as good as I am at Omaha, most people say that’s not my best game; they say I’m better at No Limit Hold’em. So I’ve got real good at a couple of games and, when I’m on my game, there’s not many better than me. My biggest problem is – what makes Ivey so good is that his concentration is so good – whereas I mentally slip a lot.
