Poker Quotes

Tried to find if this kind of thread already exists but didn't find anything so here it goes:

What's your favorite poker related quote? It can be anything, funny or something that has helped you to become a better player. Something that has stayed in the back of your mind.

I read just couple of days ago a quote from Phil Ivey supposedly that said "You can't bluff someone who is not paying attention". Especially at the micro stakes, that quote is more than true and something worth keeping in mind.

This didn't start out as a poker quote but I've seen it said enough times at poker tables to be sure it applies. It was first said by a baseball player named Left Gomez and goes - "I'd rather be lucky than good."

Lol, now that you ask. I like a lot Kassouf and his "9 high like a boss"

Even if you don't like Kassouf, I think it explain a lot about what Poker is all about.

I like this quote

"Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill part is hard, but they’re wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck." - Jesse May

Jesse could well be right, as I'm making some progress on the skill side, but with luck, I'm struggling big time.

"Like a Boss", was the catch phrase last year at the wsop. It was sort of fresh but got stale as the tournament moved on.

"You often become the best player at the table by not trying to be the best poker player at the table." By me, Lotgrinder, because I'm an egotistical *****. And when you understand it as truth that is the day you will have a real chance to play for a living.

"Life is like a game of poker - you have to play the hand you're dealt... But a wise player can play what seems to be a weak hand and win the game." - Rick Warren

"You will show your poker greatness by the hands you fold, not the hands you play." - Dan Reed

"Poker's a day to learn and a lifetime to master." - Robert Williamson III

"I never want to be called a 'good loser.' Show me a good loser and I'll just show you a loser." -Stu Ungar ... I think he may have borrowed the quote from Vince Lombardi though.
