I really love this thread! I have collected these old poker sayings and Texas folklore sayings for decades. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think these are the major strength of my writing and novel.

What always really got me about the oldest gamblers was the perfect topicality or timing. A guy would lose a big pot and come with some old saying...My [censored] are sore now. Dunk your head, we are going through a tunnel.

When someone tries table talk, folks answer with old sayings such as, I can't be stooling off my hand. or snitching off my hand.

If I have the nuts and make a big bet, I watch the other guy silently. If he looks as if he is about to fold or he picks up his cards, I start the old sayings trying to sell a call. "Let me have this one, we'll let you have the next one."

When you sit down next to a guy, especially a woman, you say, "Let's play along slow until I get something."

When someone raises, you say, "Hey, if I wanted that pot raised I'd raise it myself."

When someone plays loose, you say, "He has the raising [censored]." of "He parked his horse in a red ant bed."

"I could get rich playing your discards."

There were a few I never understood. When someone bet, the old gamblers would say, "I thought he said a match."

"He's so stuck, he'll play ole blocky." Ole Blocky is six-three but nobody that I know knows why.

My absolute life-directing favorite is, "Whicever way your luck is running, it is bound to change."

"I'm up and down like a Yo-Yo. My bankroll looks like an elephant stepped on it. Chicken in the pot one day, feathers the next."

"If I tell you a hen dips snuff, look under her wing and you will find a can."

"He'd steal a hot stove or lay down beside it and claim it."

"He used to be loose as a goose but now he's tighter than Dick's hat band." "Tighter than Broomcorn's Uncle."

"Stick with me, you'll be farting through silk."

"You look good in cheap cloths." or hot cloths.

"He carries a baggie in his pocket where he can steal soup."

If someone compliments your hat, watch, etc. come right back, "It's for sale." Ask three times what you paid for it. It works around poker and poker drunk winners.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this post. I am new around here in this section, a refuge from OOT. I used to post these old stories but it gained me an asterisk. Now that you have a tiny percentage of the old sayings, write your own old stories and I'll love reading them.
