Some golfers have had the same problem. They were making a lot of money coming in second, but they weren't winning. It was driving them so crazy that they were ready to see a psychiatrist. I told 'em not to worry about winning, that I'd been through all that stuff and knew that people put pressure on you. Just keep on playing, I told them, and you'll eventually win.
Any golfer knows that they both have won a lot of tournaments since then.
I got out of gambling and now I play golf every day. I've got orange groves and some other investments from poker, and so I don't need to play it anymore. But I kinda' got burned out on it. Jack Binion, who's one of the smartest men that I know, told me years ago when I was making money hand over fist at poker, 'You oughta' invest this money and do something with it. At the time, I thought that he was nuts.
