“The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing or, more particularly with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.” -- William J. Florence
"I mean, how long is a poker game? . . . Just because it breaks up doesn’t mean it ends. The players may go away, but . . . they’ll be there again the next day. Them or someone else." -- Eric Drache
"Studying poker is a little like learning with a crazy math teacher. A teacher who marks problems right or wrong with no correlation to whether we did the problem correctly or not." -- Danny Asman
“Poker is not simply a game of odds, moves and calculations. It is a game of controlled and exploited emotions including greed, fear, over-confidence and anger.” -- Steven Lubet
"Baseball players and poker players spend most of their time picking up signs and working the count, but at least once every nine chances or so they really do have to come through." -- James McManus
