A-I-D-A. Attention, Investment, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have your attention? Investment - Do you have the buy-in? I know you do, 'cause it's fu*k or walk. You cash or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision for Christ? And Action. A-I-D-A. ...
I'm wearing a watch right now that costs more than your car. I made $940,000 last year. How much did you make? You see, pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a ****. Good father? **** you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna play the WSOP - cash! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you coc*sucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get at a poker table? You don't like it, leave.
I can go out to the Casino tonight with the skills that you've all got and make myself $15,000. Tonight! In eight hours! Can you? Can YOU? Go and do likewise. A-I-D-A. Get mad you son of a bitches, get mad. You want to know what it takes to play poker for a living? It takes BRASS BALLS to play poker for a living. ....
We get it, you're a plagiarising poker player who likes David Mamet.

Fwiw, AIDA does not end well for its namesake lead:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida
"Radamès has been taken into the lower floor of the temple and sealed up in a dark vault, where he thinks that he is alone. As he hopes that Aida is in a safer place, he hears a sigh and then sees Aida. She has hidden herself in the vault in order to die with Radamès (Radamès and Aida: La fatal pietra sovra me si chiuse. / "The fatal stone now closes over me"). They accept their terrible fate (Radamès: Morir! Si pura e bella / "To die! So pure and lovely!") and bid farewell to Earth and its sorrows. Above the vault in the temple of Vulcan, Amneris weeps and prays to the goddess Isis. In the vault below, Aida dies in Radamès' arms."
When do you open your coaching site ? With your snappy patter, you'd be a natural, but I think you picked the wrong role model .... :
"You little scumbag! I've got your name! I've got your ass! You will not laugh! You will not cry! You will learn by the numbers and I will teach you!"
