Rick Bennet: “In the long run there’s no luck in poker, but the short run is longer than most people know.”
Benny Binion: “Trust everyone, but always cut the cards.”
Dutch Boyd: “Poker is a lot like sex, everyone thinks they are the best, but most don’t have a clue what they are doing!”
Doyle Brunson: “May the flop be with you.”
Mike Caro: ”Aces are larger than life and greater than mountains.”
Sammy Farha: “Just play every hand, you can’t miss them all.”
Michael Gersitz: “Don’t get mad that you lost, get mad because you didn’t win.”
Phil Hellmuth: “No matter how much you may want to think of Holdém as a card game played by people, in many respects it is even more valid to think of it as a game about people that happens to be played with cards.”
Anthony Holden: “Poker may be a branch of psychological warfare, an art form or indeed a way of life – but it is also merely a game, in which money is simply the means of keeping score.”
Warren Karp: “Forget about a chip and a chair; give me a hand and I’ll stand.”
Lou Krieger: “I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and – when played well, nourishes the wallet.”
Charles Lamb: “Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.”
Joe Laurie Jr.: “If you play bridge badly you make your partner suffer, but if you play poker badly you make everybody happy.”
Katy Lederer: “The cardinal sin in poker, worse than playing did cards, worse even than figuring your odds incorrectly, is becoming emotionally involved.”
Steve Lipscomb: “Poker is to cards and games what jazz is to music. It’s this great American thing, born and bred here. We
dig it because everybody can play.”
W. Somerset Maugham: “Poker’s the only game fit for a grown man. Then, your hand is against every man’s, and every man’s is against yours.”
Jesse May: “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.”
Jack McClelland: “To be a poker champion, you must have a strong bladder.”
Tom McEvoy: “No-limit hold’em: Hours of boredom followed by moments of sheer terror.”
Johnny Moss: “Hold’em is to stud what chess is to checkers.”
Paul Newman: “A dollar won is twice as sweet as a dollar earned.”
Mark Pilarski: “The smarter you play, the luckier you’ll be.”
Mike Sexton: “The name of the game is no-limit Texas Hold’em, the game that takes a minute to learn but a lifetime to master.”
Amarillo Slim: “It never hurts for potential opponents to think you’re more than a little stupid and can hardly count all the money in your hip pocket, much less hold on to it.”
Jonathan Swift: “I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand.”
Stu Unger: “Fold and live to fold again.”
Julius ‘Big Julie’ Weintraub: “The guy who invented poker was bright, but the guy who invented the chip was a genius.”
