Great Poker Quotes
"Poker is...
a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human
nature."-
David A. Daniel
"The good news is that in every deck of fifty-two cards there are
2,598,960 possible hands. The bad news is that you are only
going to be dealt one of them."- Anthony Holden
"I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand."- Jonathan Swift
"Serious poker is no more about gambling than rock climbing is about
taking risks."-
Alfred Alvarez
"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
"Whether he likes it or not, a man's character is stripped at the poker
table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only
himself to blame. Unless he is both able and
prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser
in cards, as in life."-
Anthony Holden
More Poker Quotes
"The
commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; it
happens at the poker table all the time."- David Shoup
"Avoid people with gold teeth who want to play cards."- George Carlin
"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."- Stu Unger
"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."-
Steve Lipscomb
"It's easy to be a tough competitor and still be the kind of person
with whom people love to compete."- Chuck Thompson
