How did the early players do it?

[ZenMusician]

That and the fact they were cheating, hustling, colluding
scumbags who worked in teams from shared bankrolls.

Old-school poker was quite a different game than it is
played today...like the difference between rugby and golf.

I'm sorry if this ruins your idolatry of pool sharks who
started playing cards one day in the back room.

It's poker, not rocket science.
