Thesis: Poker is all luck.

Supporting evidence:
* Introduce Phil Hellmuth and mention at least twenty times that he is the greatest no limit hold 'em player ever (it'll be hard to cite references other than his own quotes) and be sure to point out that he has nine World Series bracelets.
* Go through all of his bad beats, being sure to include his reactions and his descriptions of his opponents. Point out that you can't beat donkeys because they always suck out when they put their money in with the worst of it.
* List all of the people you've met in your life who you consider to be donkeys. This provides the evidence that you just can't avoid the donkeys who always suck out.

Conclusion: Poker is just luck and you should always raise and reraise with 77 in a limit hold 'em game.
