You gotta throw your hand away when you know you're beat. It doesn't matter how good you are, everything can change when those cards are near. We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing. That's poker, folks.
Well there's an old saying, the only thing you need to play this game is a chip and a chair. But to sit down and win against the best, you need a whole lot more. Poker actually isn't about winning or losing. Poker's about making the right decision. And lock just the door, you gotta come in through the window. And that's where the skill comes in. You gotta have the courage to bluff; courage doesn't necessarily mean the absence of fear; but you gotta swallow that pride.

@vinnie2k You were close, but I hear: "When luck shuts the door, you gotta come in through the window." NOT "And lock just the door".
