Re: \"I raise, therefore I am.\" - Howard Lederer
Howard Lederer was trying to be poetic but just ended up being moronic(?)

Re: \"I raise, therefore I am.\" - Howard Lederer
the original phrase is "cogito ergo sum" i think therefore i am. maybe he's trying to draw a paralell betewwn thinking players and aggressive players, and trying too hard to sound smart while he's doing it.

Re: \"I raise, therefore I am.\" - Howard Lederer
Maybe a vague parralel between the two but you can draw no meaning from it without heavy bullshiting.

Re: \"I raise, therefore I am.\" - Howard Lederer
The original quote "I think, therefore I am" is the thinking man's way of distinguishing himself from your average citizen, the mindless zombie.
"I raise, therefore I am" distinguishes Lederer and other aggressive poker players from the average player pool. Plus, just as "thinking" or intellect or enlightenment or whatever you want to call it was the most important part of Descartes' life, "raising" or just playing poker is the most important part of Lederer's life. Or something like that. |

...just as "thinking" or intellect or enlightenment or whatever you want to call it was the most important part of Descartes' life... [/ QUOTE ] IIRC, it was a line from his proof of the existence of God. |
