you need skill to get lucky

an old man said this to me in vegas.
he was almost broke.
his stack was real low.
he didn't seem to mind giving his money away.
he just threw his money in and then laughed when it was taken from him.

He had three queens once and lost to four fours when this guy with a pair called him. A four came on the turn and then the river.

someone tried to make him feel better by saying, "Lucky draw."

"You need skill to get lucky," the old man responded as he dumped his ante into the next pot.

I heard he got shot over a bottle of whiskey in Harrahs. He died like a man.
