We all have our favourite Poker Pro, and they all have their own fair share of wisdom.
Even the poker pros have pros they look up too.
I know there is heaps of Poker Quotes around..
But i wanna know ...
What is the BEST Poker quote you have heard that you live and play by??? And who spoke those words of wisdom,...

"Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died."
Steven Wright

and

The cardinal sin in poker, worse than playing did cards, worse even than figuring your odds correctly, is becoming emotionally involved.
Katy Lederer

"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 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, three-time wsop Champion

"Nobody is always a winner, and anybody who says he is, is either a liar or doesn't play poker."

Liked this one too.

"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

You have it in your power to turn a bad beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone. by Lou Krieger

I like these two the best..."If, after the first twenty minutes, you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you." -author unknown

Don't know who said it but this sums up poker IMO.

What? No one has quoted Kenny Rogers yet?

"Know when to hold 'em--Know when to fold 'em--Know when to walk away and know when to run." -from "The Gambler"

Then again, there are so many more cheesy lines in this song, I could go on with this forever, lol.

One I heard in a live game once.

A player had just been the victim of a real bad beat. I mean AA v 7 3 kind of bad beat.

He was grumbling like hell about it and this young lad just looked at him and said

"quit moaning and just do what Monica Lewinsky did"

The bloke looked at him and asked him what he meant..

"take it in the chin"

:D
