"So you're telling me it's a matter of probability and odds; I was worried there wasn't chance involved."
"Well only if you assume the player with the best hand wins."
"So that would be what you call bluffing?"
"You've heard the term. Then you'll also know that in poker you never play your hand; you play the man across from you."
~ Casino Royale (2006)
James Bond discussing poker with his government sponsored financier. Blind faith that skill can overcome the roll of the die (or deal of the cards, as the case may be).
