@NateMeyvis I think there is a real misconception that in order to be successful at poker you need to concentrate to a ridiculous extent.
@keiththecamel Fair enough (though I'm not sure it's so overstated). But would you disagree that the average loser is more likely to chat?

@NateMeyvis Yes I think I would disagree. Some losers chat, some stay sullen. I don't think there is a correlation, -
@keiththecamel That is interesting to hear. I would not be upset to be wrong about this!

@NateMeyvis What i do think, it's the pro players job to make losers feel like they enjoyed the game. Then they are more likely to return. -
@keiththecamel Agreed; and it's the decent thing to do. Also, of course, I've met a million fascinating people at the tables! - Show replies

@NateMeyvis If I was an amatuer, I would truly hate having to play poker with Sands for multiple hours. Far better spending my $$ elsewhere.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
