Amir Vahedi I think - "In order to live, you must be willing to die." Or was that Freddy Deeb?

If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.

[Win.by.TKo]

"In order to live, you must be willing to die" applies mostly to tournament poker.

'Fit or Fold' is a common one.

'Third raise is Aces or Kings' or something similar tends to be true.

Most of the money you'll win at poker comes not from the brilliance of your own play, but from the ineptitude of your opponents. ~Lou Krieger

Hold'em is a game of calculated aggression: If you cards are good enough for your to call a bet, they are good enough to raise with. Alfred Alvarez (2001)

Try to decide how good your hand is at a given moment. Nothing else matters. Nothing! Doyle Bunson

The winner is not the player who wins the most pots. The winner is the player who wins the most money. Anthony Holden, author of Big Deal (1990)
