00:00 - 00:19 "There is so much correlation to business and poker. If you play every hand, if you try to serve every customer, if you try to do everything you're going to lose. You have limited resources, limited chips, and you need to be smart about how you spend those chips and when you're going to gamble with them and when you're not.” — Connie Miller
