From an interview reprinted at rakefree.com: LAP: And last, but not least... Do you consider yourself to be a genius? Dutch Boyd : I sometimes get real moments of clarity that even surprise myself. It was happening all this year at the WSOP. I guess players call it the “zone”. But it’s something that happens outside of the poker table as well, where my thoughts are clear, where I seem to fully understand everything that’s going on around me, and I can come up with great ideas and ways to implement those ideas. I suppose that’s all that genius really is… and that everybody shows many, many moments of genius in their lives.
