    "Everyone was against me playing poker in my entire family ... The only one who was for me playing was my grandfather ... He would say, 'I know that if I told you not to do it, it'll make you want to do it even more, so I'm just going to go ahead and support it' ... The more people told me I couldn't do it, the more I just wanted to prove them wrong. It was almost like I had to do it."
