It’s a lot
easier to play the game when you know the rules. If you know the rules, the
house doesn’t have as big of an advantage over you. Sometimes you have to play
by the rules, sometimes you can bend them, and sometimes you just need to
disregard them altogether. Once you figure that out that flexibility is the
key, you’re two steps up on a lot of people. You can’t be stiff, you can’t be
floppy, you’ve got to bend but not break. There are a lot of hands to be
played, and as the gamblers say, “You’ve got to know when to hold them, and know
when to fold them.”
