Competition Quote by Chris Moneymaker

“The competition has improved tremendously. In 2003, I could teach a guy how to play poker in an hour and he could win some money. Today, it would take days. The game has gotten so much tougher. So I will spend my time with my family and play when I can.” quote by Chris Moneymaker
