Quote of the Day

“It was mostly old guys with cigars. It was very intimidating to walk into a poker room and see a guy who’s a thousand years old, smoking 10 packs of cigarettes a day, giving you dirty looks because you’re taking the wrong card. What online poker did was let people get familiar with the game, feel a little bit of confidence and then they said, ‘I want to go to Vegas and do the real thing.’” — Dr. David G. Schwartz, director of UNLV’s Center for Gaming Research on the debut of legitimized Internet poker and its potential impact.
