Hey, I've never heard that one. Great line!
The old man that taught me 14.1 said that to me after beating my brains out after:
I let my mouth over load my abilities.
Starting the very next day, i didn't ask him to gamble, i ask him if he would teach me.
The first lesson was not about 14.1, banks, 1hole etc...etc. The entire first lesson was more or less "stories" from his youth when first starting to play (around 1915) till he stopped (retired).
The old man was much wiser than i really knew at the time. I remember thinking, "im not learning anything, this guy just wants my money".
Every single word he spoke that day "could've" saved me a LOT of money over the next 4 or 5 years but, like i said,....my mouth over loaded my abilities and he knew it. Later, i figured out that the stories was the "most important lesson" but, i did pay enough attention.
I eventually learned a little something. I remember, it was about the same time i went bust the "first" time.
Im still learning. I got a lesson next month with Mark Wilson and Nick Varner.
Im looking forward to it. I just hope my back, neck etc... has a good day that day, because im a day or two older than i was when speaking to the old man with the stories.

Edit:
I say that "bark vs stroke" thing often. I should have put it in my sig earlier.
