Gordon Gekko: You see that building? I bought that building ten years ago. My first real estate deal. Sold it two years later, made an $800,000 profit. It was better than sex.
Now i am not going to try and convince you that looking down a red aces on an A5J flop in a re-raised pot and getting check raised from someone out of position is better than sex, but I'll be damned if it doesn't put a spark in you. Nonetheless, such seems to be the drive of most champions. Beyond the lust for financial independence, beyond the fleeting thrill of a good gamble, beyond winning for the sake of winning there is an unadulterated love for the game; and those in life fortunate enough to near sexual nirvana in any form of their life's work are truly blessed.
