He says it with a laugh to Benyamine, so it might've been Benyamine who said that to him.

Someone once told me if you catch a man a fish he will eat for a day, if you teach a man to fish he will make a crappy thread in NVG

It's such a basic, self-explanatory truth that I doubt you will ever find who said it first.

It's an adaptation from the original saying, "You can lose when you fold"

It was Hellmuth, he said it to JC Tran whilst Dwan was commentating on Party Poker Premier League...

At the Hellmuth bash game Dwan needled Hellmuth repeating that ******ed comment to him, and he reprised it at the latest PAD.

As gobboboy would say...I am a nerd.

While we are on the subject, how does Antonio Esfandiari always end up playing with so many people with PhDs?

Can anyone date this comment to before 1999?

So you're the one I should hate when half of the people at the b&m poker room say this stupid sh**?

Now I just have to find the creator of "chop chop!" and "lets not shower for a week and go to the casino".

Except I read this.

I thought the same, like maybe there was a computer glitch or something. I, however, was pleasantly surprised by the real meaning.

I also have the answer to the question:

After Dwan started playing sit n gos online, he connected with his higher self in a dream. His higher self told him, "You can't win when you fold." At this point, Dwan switched to cash games and went on to dominate poker. So he's quoting himself, albeit his higher self, so it's like a pseudo-self quote.
