My father played cards very well at bridge, skat (a game of
German origin), and poker tables. He won a lot more than he lost. Dad seldom
gave me advice, but he did caution me about poker several times:
"If you walk into a strange place and are invited to join the poker game, don't. At least two people at the table are smarter
than you."

Good advice! I play poker once a month, and I'm pretty sure there are five guys at the table smarter than I am. Fortunately, we play for low stakes ... and thus remain friends.
In all other aspects of life, I hope there are only two smarter than me. But you usually never know until it's too late.
Likewise I agree... sounds like very sound financial advice to me.
I love card games. Migrated from hearts, to Pinnocle to Bridge. I have played poker, in the distant past. David's grandfather shot a man dead over a poker game. Happened in NYC in the nineteenth century.
