Ask a highschool dropout

[88jayhawks]

[Man Narrating] 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'll 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.
Get your money in when you have the best of it, and protect it when you don't.
Don't give anything away.
That's how I've paid my way through half of law school.
A true grinder.
See, I learned how to win a little at a time. But finally, I've learned this...
If you're too careful, your whole life can become a [censored]' grind.
This is Teddy KGB's place.
- [Man] Five hundred. - You won't find it in the Yellow Pages.
Nope. Not tonight.
No? What?
Give me three stacks of high society.
Thirty thousand. Count it.
- That's good. - So, you're sitting the apple.
- Good. Want a cookie? - No.
[Narrating] He doesn't look like much,
but KGB is connected all the way to the top of the Russian mob.
He's the one guy in the game you don't want to [censored] with.
But if you're looking for high stakes,
this is the only place in town.
They all know me as a small-timer, but that's about to change.
Joey Knish is a New York legend.
He's been a rounder, earning his living at cards...
since he was years old.
What are you, holdin' those for somebody?
Uh, yeah, I'm holding 'em for you.
- You should be. - [Chuckles]
'Cause I hope you're not thinking of putting all that glimmer in play.
[Narrating] He's as close to a friend as there is in this place.
- Come here. - [Narrator] But tonight, I don't want to see him.
Now, you don't wanna butt onions with these guys.
'Cause they'll chew you up, take your whole bankroll.
- So you say. - There's plenty of easy games.
We get outta here, get some coffee, ride over to that soft seat in Queens.
I know what I'm doing.
You're making a run at it, aren't you?
Rolling up a stake and going to Vegas.
I'm right, right?
- I can beat the game. - Maybe.
Maybe this is a game can be beat.

"live specialist" haha. Takes too much effort to learn the game, so you will ride a heater and go busto. Just like it takes too much effort to wake up at 6 for you.

I went ahead and fixed your post there.

[Mike Narrating] You don't hear much about guys who take their shot and miss,
but I'll tell you what happens to 'em.
They end up humping crappy jobs on graveyard shifts,
trying to figure out how they came up short.
See, I had this picture in my head.
Me sitting at the big table, Doyle to my left,
Amarillo Slim to my right, playing in the World Series of Poker.
And I let that vision blind me at the table against KGB.
Now, the closest I get to Vegas is west New York,
driving this lousy route handed down from Knish...
to rounders who forget the cardinal [censored]' rule...
Always leave yourself outs.
