The Importance of Being a Good Player

I had to prove myself in that capacity because I remember when we raised the stakes from 10 to $50,000 in Los Angeles and then all of a sudden there's this new cast of characters.

And it was hard, but I just kind of ignored it. It was like, this is our world. If you want to bring me a drink, great. I'm not asking for money. Hmm. You're that you have no legitimacy here."
