Think
of how stupid the average poker player is. By definition,
half of them are dumber than that.
Adaptation of quote from George Carlin
You can't let
it get you down when somebody knocks you out of a
tournament playing a hand they shouldn't have played.
Without these types of players, nobody would win any
amount of money, so sometimes you just have to take
your medicine.
T J Cloutier
Concentrate.
Don't do anything stupid. Catch some cards.
Mrs. Cloutier as T J heads out to another tournament
I
guess if there weren't luck involved, I'd win every
time.

Son,
when a man bets you that the jack of spades will rise

don't take that bet, for as sure as eggs is eggs,
you'll end up with a wet ear.

Poker is like life, most people don't
learn from their mistakes, they only recognize them.

You can shear a sheep many times,
but you can skin it only once.

Fold and live to fold again.
Stu Ungar
Sometimes doing the right thing loses

trick is figuring the right time to do the wrong thing
and the wrong time to do the right thing.
Unknown
It's hard work, gambling. Playing
poker. Don't let anyone tell you different. Think
about what it's like sitting at a poker table with
people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take
your money and leave you out the back talking to yourself
about what went wrong inside. That probably sounds
harsh. But that's the way it is at the poker table.
If you don't believe me, then you're the lamb that's
going off to the slaughter.
Stu Unger
You get your chips your way, I'll
get my chips mine.
Phil Ivey (to Howard Lederer)
There are few things that are so
unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The
upper class knows very little about it. Now and then
you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge
of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful.
Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted,
liberal, sincere and all that, who did not know the
meaning of a flush. It is enough to make one ashamed
of the species.
Mark Twain
I dont play any two suited cards.
I play any two non suited cards. That way I am drawing
at two different flushes.
Amarillo Slim
No river, no fish.
Amarillo Slim
Seldom do the lambs slaughter the
butcher.
Amarillo Slim
The one who bets the most wins. Cards
just break ties.
Sammy Farha
Just play every hand, you can't miss
them all.
Sammy Farha
If you can't quit the best hand,
you can't play.
Unknown
Last words before he became a eunuch;
'I'd bet my bollocks on this hand.'
Unknown
They called it Poker because the
word 'Fuck!' was taken.
Unknown
Poker is 100% skill and 50% luck.
Phil Hellmuth
My luck is so bad, if it were raining
pussy I'd get hit in the head with a dick.
Unknown
No Limit Hold'em.
Hours of boredom followed by moments of sheer terror.
Tom McEvoy
After a particularly bad beat...
Player 1 That was a terrible call.
Player 2 It's called gambling.
Player 1 No, it's called really sucking at
life, especially poker, and trying to throw your money
away because your life is useless and you have been
pondering suicide for the last week, but getting lucky
enough to keep it.
Don't look at when a player sucks
out on you with a trash hand as a loss. Think of it
as an investment that will be returned with interest.
Unknown
If only I'd read, 'Internet Poker
For Dummies.' 'Til now, I never thought I qualified.
Unknown
Two cowboys at a table... One suddenly
plunges a dagger through the hand of the other player,
pinning the hand to the table. Says to his wounded
opponent, 'Sir, if that is not an ace of spades hidden
beneath your hand, then I owe you an apology.'
Unknown
You will show your poker greatness
by the hands you fold, not the hands you play.
Dan Reed
Don't challenge strong players, challenge
weak ones. That's what they're there for.
John Vorhaus
Never educate a stupid poker player.
Unknown
I was watching some poker on television
not that long ago when one of players had pocket fours
and the other had a higher pocket pair. At the moment
he saw he was in bad shape he said, 'May the fours
be with me'.
Tom, one of our visitors
Lancey Howard: Gets down to what
it's all about, doesn't it? Making the wrong move
at the right time.
Cincinnati Kid: Is that what it's all about?
Lancey Howard: Like life, I guess. You're good, kid,
but as long as I'm around you're second best. You
might as well learn to live with it.
From the movie 'Cincinatti Kid'
I don't know who said, 'Insanity
is doing the same thing over and over and expecting
different results,' but I know he never played poker,
or got married to a woman.
