If this is meant in kind of jest, then the term "rivet rat" (http://dictionary.pokerzone.com/River Rat) might work. Or something like:

"Just wait till the river" or "I'll get mine on the river"

"I make my living on the river"

"I make my living as a river rat"

There are tons of options. What exactly is the context? Random poker-related quotes?

Great, thank you. This is how I would play it (pun intended):

'I'm not about to plunk down twenty bucks for some fancy book. Imma get my game on and crush all of you!'

Or 'Imma wear my lucky underwear and crush all of you!'
