"I'd rather lose today and learn something and then use it to make some money tomorrow". -Brian Wilson
"Nobody folds anymore. Welcome to the new age of poker" -Mike Matusow "One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider." - Damon Runyon

I think quotes such as the ones stated are a good way to get inspiration adn at the same time they aid learning.
This thread is going in the right direction. I hope it carries on that way. "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned." ~From the movie The Color of Money

Re: Poker quotes
Great threat so far.
"There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: go there with a large one." -- Jack Yelton “When we play, we must realize, before anything else, that we are out to make money.” --Sklansky "Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit, you are shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you." --Strauss "The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips." --Florence

Re: Poker quotes
I had the time to edit the quotes gathered so far. I removed any quotes, which were occuring multiple times or any irrelevant quotes.
Hope this is helpful. REMEMBER, PEOPLE CAN STILL POST ORE QUOTES, WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE LIST. I WILL INCLUDE THEM AT A LATER DATE. ENJOY. BTW. MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO'S CONTRIBUTING. Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died. ~Seven Wright The guy who invented poker was bright, but the guy who invented the chip was a genius. ~Author Unknown If, after the first twenty minutes, you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you. ~Author Unknown Is it a reasonable thing, I ask you, for a grown man to run about and hit a ball? 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. Teamwork? Who ever made a fortune by teamwork? There's only one way to make a fortune, and that's to down the fellow who's up against you. ~W. Somerset Maugham [Poker] exemplifies the worst aspects of capitalism that have made our country so great. ~Walter Matthau Your best chance to get a Royal Flush in a casino is in the bathroom. ~VP Pappy 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 The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; it happens at the poker table all the time. ~David Shoup I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand. ~Jonathan Swift "How long does it take to learn poker, Dad?" "All your life, son." ~Michael Pertwee Poker: the art of civilized bushwhacking. ~Nick Dandalos, attributed Poker is the game closest to the western conception of life, where life and thought are recognized as intimately combined, where free will prevails over philosophies of fate or of chance, where men are considered moral agents and where - at least in the short run - the important thing is not what happens but what people think happens. ~John Luckacs Cards are war, in disguise of a sport. ~Charles Lamb In a game of poker, I can put the players' souls in my pocket. ~Beausourire 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. ~Lou Krieger Poker, n. A game said to be played with cards for some purpose to this lexicographer unknown. ~Ambrose Bierce Poker is... a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human nature. ~David A Daniel Poker's a day to learn and a lifetime to master. ~Robert Williamson III 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 With spots quadrangular of diamond form, Ensanguined hearts, clubs typical of strife, And spades, the emblems of untimely graves. ~William Cowper The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent. ~David Mamet Poker is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and democracy. It can be rough-hewn or polished, warm or cold, charitable and caring, or hard and impersonal, fickle and elusive, but ultimately it is fair, and right, and just. ~Lou Krieger Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead. ~Jackie Robinson 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 God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e., everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time. ~Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens, 1991 Hold'em - like life itself - has its defining moment. It's the flop. When you see the flop, you're looking at 71 percent of your hand, and the cost is only a single round of betting. ~Lou Krieger [Poker is] as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you could find outside an advertising agency. ~Raymond Chandler 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. ~Lou Krieger Old card players never die, they just shuffle away. ~Author Unknown Industry executives and analysts often mistakenly talk about strategy as if it were some kind of chess match. But in chess, you have just two opponents, each with identical resources, and with luck playing a minimal role. The real world is much more like a poker game, with multiple players trying to make the best of whatever hand fortune has dealt them. In our industry, Bill Gates owns the table until someone proves otherwise. ~David Moschella 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 I've often thought, if I got really hungry for a good milk shake, how much would I pay for one? People will pay a hundred dollars for a bottle of wine; to me that's not worth it. But I'm not going to say it is foolish or wrong to spend that kind of money, if that's what you want. So if a guy wants to bet twenty or thirty thousand dollars in a poker game, that is his privilege. ~Jack Binion There's opportunity in poker.... If Horace Greeley were alive today, his advice wouldn't be "Go West, young man, and grow up with the country." Instead, he'd point to that deck of cards on table and say, "Shuffle up and deal. ~Lou Krieger In The Game Of Life... Play The Cards You're Dealt from the movie "Rounders" Trust everyone... but always cut the cards from the movie "Rounders" For American males under 18, baseball may be said to be the national pastime. When they grow up it becomes poker Carl Sifakis, The Encyclopedia of Gambling Hold em is to stud what chess is to checkers. Johnny Moss I’ve always had confidence, but I never let my ego get to the point that I think I’m the superstar, because I know that ego has destroyed many a poker career Jim Boyd, modern-day road gambler I never go looking for a sucker. I look for a Champion and make a sucker of him "Amarillo Slim" Preston It is better to make people think you are a bad poker player, then to play and remove all doubt. Don't play to impress, play to win Michael Gersitz If you are a guy, you know you play too much poker if your wet dreams involve 'nuts' instead breasts BreakEvenPlayer Poker is a game of people... It's not the hand I hold, it's the people that I play with "Amarillo Slim" Preston Nobody is always a winner, and anybody who says he is, is either a liar or doesn't play poker "Amarillo Slim" Preston Timid players don't win in high-stackes Poker. Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson I don't want to give you a complex... but your stack looks small. Marcel Luske to a short stacked player at 2004 WSOP Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards. P. J. O'Rourke (1947), National Lampoon When it comes to taking chances, some people like to play poker or shoot dice; other people prefer to parachute jump, go rhino hunting, or climb ice floes, while still others engage in crime or marriage. But I like to get drunk and drive like a fool. Vannevar Bush (1890 - 1974) If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability. George Carlin (1937) Its never just a game when you're winning. George Ade (1866 - 1944) Anybody can win unless there happens to be a second entry. John Mason Brown (1900 - 1969), drama critic He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace. Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary The gambling known as business looks with austere disfavor upon the business known as gambling. Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919) When I say I believe in a square deal i do not mean ... to give every man the best hand. If the cards do not come to any man, or if they do come, and he has not got the power to play them, that is his affair. All I mean is that there shall be no crookedness in the dealing. Josh Billings (1818 - 1885) Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964) Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will. John Hay (1838 - 1905), Distichs, latter 19th century True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home. "You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done." Kenny Rogers, "The Gambler" "Poker reveals to the frank observer something else of import -it will teach him about his own nature. Many bad players do not improve because the cannot bear self-knowledge." David Mamet "You can shear a sheep a hundred times, but you can skin it only once." Amarillo Slim "It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money." Canada Bill Jones "See, in my world - the world of high-stakes gin and poker - we play for cold, hard cash. It's all business, pure and simple. Anyone who thinks cardplaying is a 'game' - I'll show you a loser. Money... M-O-N-E-Y. That's how you measure success. One dollar at a time. One chip at a time. That's how you keep score." Stu Unger "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 "You cannot survive without that intangible quality we call heart. The mark of a top player is not how much he wins when he is winning but how he handles his losses. If you win for thirty days in a row, that makes no difference if on the thirty first you have a bad night, go crazy, and throw it all away." Bobby Baldwin "The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips." William J. Florence "In the poker game of life, women are the rake." Les Murphy, "Rounders" "The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; happens at the poker table all the time." General David Shoup "Well, tomorrow's another day." John Hennigan 'If you don't win your only comfort is to come out even.' Al Alvarez Quotes 'Yes, I think poker really isn't gambling'. Unknown Quotes: 'Don't gamble with money that you cannot afford to lose either financially or emotionaly'. Quotation from Doyle Brunson: 'Everybody today knows what I learned back then because it's in all the poker books. But nobody knew the right way to play back in those days'. Quotation from James Woods (Hollywood Poker): 'I'm absolutely gonna win it, because I'm ruthless. I sit at the poker table and my job is to destroy people'. Quotation from Lou Krieger: 'Hold'em - like life itself - has its defining moment. It's the flop. When you see the flop, you're looking at 71 percent of your hand, and the cost is only a single round of betting.' There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips. Poker is a fighting game, a game in which each player tries to get the better of every other player and does so by fair means or foul so long as he obeys the rules of the game. He may bluff or lie about his own strength, the object of the game being either to frighten the other players into believing that he has greater strength or else to prove it. In poker, good players win and poor players lose. As batting practice is not baseball, reading about poker, or playing against computerized opponents -- while undeniably helpful -- is not the same as playing for real money, against live opponents, in public games. The seductive game of poker is one that I do not understand. I do not care to understand it, because it cannot be played without the putting up of a good deal of the coin of the realm, and although I have nothing to say against betting, my own theory of conduct in the matter is this, that I want no man's money which I do not earn, and I do not want any man to get my money unless he earns it. Only losers and amateurs blame the cards. After all, cards don't care; they don't take sides, and they have no memory. They are blind justice holding her scales, and in the long run they'll tip evenly for the novice and the skilled alike. The cardinal sin in poker, worse than playing bad cards, worse even than figuring your odds correctly, is becoming emotionally involved. In poker, as in business, the secret is in knowing how to manage risk and capitalize on opportunity. “Life, like poker, has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.” munchkin71787 Edward Norton quotes “What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.” Saint Augustine quotes (Ancient Roman Christian Theologian and Bishop of Hippo from 396 to 430. One of the Latin Fathers of the Church. 354-430) “Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.” Jackie Robinson quotes “Morals are an acquirement - like music, like a foreign language, like piety, poker, paralysis - no man is born with them.” Mark Twain quotes (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910) “People would be surprised to know how much I learned about prayer from playing poker” Mary Austin quotes “Life is like a game of poker: If you don't put any in the pot, there won't be any to take out” Honey! Honey! I was supposed to go broke on that hand, honey, except they forgot one thing: I can dodge bullets, baby. - Phil Hellmuth, at the 2005 World Series of Poker main event If there weren't luck involved, I guess I'd win every one. - Phil Hellmuth, after losing in the 2004 World Series of Poker “It's going to finish when I fold my hand and go up to the big poker game in the sky.” - Al Alvarez Some players are too conceited that they fail to see that others can actually beat them. Remember that you can not always win, so it would be wise to watch your back. From William Wigstrom - "Ace is not good, Ace is God." In poker, you must not only learn how to read cards, but more importantly read your opponents. If you cannot learn how to do that, then poker is not really for you. From Mike Caro - "Aces are larger than life and greater than mountains." Ace is really powerful in poker, as you can see in the two quotations above. Being the highest cards in poker, once you get aces at pre-flop, you might want to raise to isolate hands. You want to eliminate some of your opponents early on because, even if pocket aces are excellent, they do not really improve with the community cards.. From Amarillo Slim - "Nobody is always a winner, and anybody who says he is, is either a liar or doesn't play poker. From Wilson Mizner - "Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing from something." "Ace is not good, Ace is God." William Wigstrom "The most difficult aspects of playing poker professionally are coping emotionally with the losses and coping with the recurring idea that you're not doing anything worthwhile." Mike Caro "You call...gonna be all over, baby." during the 1998 World Series of Poker. Down to the final 2 players, he said this to his opponent while he held the best possible hand. Scotty Nguyen "Remember this: The house doesn't beat the player. It just gives him the opportunity to beat himself." Nicholas (Nick the Greek) Dandalos "A racehorse is an animal that can take several thousand people for a ride at the same time." Author Unknown "Luck never gives; it only lends." wedish Proverb "When I played pool I was like a good psychiatrist. I cured 'em of all their daydreams and delusions." Minnesota Fats "There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: go there with a large one." Jack Yelton "The best throw of the dice is to throw them away English Proverb "Gambling is the son of avarice and the father of despair." French Proverb "Never bet on baseball." Pete Rose "Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math." Author Unknown "Mr. Moss, I have to let you go." Nick "the Greek" Dandalos (after playing heads-up No Limit poker for 5 months at Binion's Horseshoe with the famous Johnny Moss "Your first duty is to the Game; then come Mother, God, and Country." Motto at the National Press Club, Washington D.C. "Dear Lord, help me to break even. I need the money." Unknown Loser's Prayer "These two have no idea what they're about to walk into. Down here to have a good time, they figure, Why not give poker a try? After all, how different can it be from the home games they've played their whole lives? Luck. All the luck in the world isn't gonna change things for these guys. They're simply overmatched. We're (the pros at the table) not playing together, but we're not playing against each other, either. It's like the Nature Channel. You don't see piranhas eating each other, do you?" Mike from Rounders "Patience. And shuffle the cards." Cervantes, Don Quioxte "This was the first time he had seriously confronted what he was doing, and the force of that awareness came very abruptly - with a surging of his pulse and a frantic pounding in his head. He was about to gamble his life on that table, and the insanity of that risk filled him with a kind of awe." Paul Auster, "The Music of Chance" (1990) "Well, tomorrow's another day." John Hennigan, high-stakes ring game player and 4th Place finisher in the opening World Poker Tour tournament "I've lost money so fast in these clubs it's left me reeling. I've read every poker book ever written, but the only way to get better at the game is to go out and play with people who are really good. The problem is, you stand to lose a lot of money doing it." Matt Damon, who was quickly eliminated from the $10,000 main event at the WSOP in 1998. "He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces, and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes." Kenny Rogers, "The Gambler" "Industry executives and analysts often mistakenly talk about strategy as if it were some kind of chess match. But in chess, you have just two opponents, each with identical resources, and with luck playing a minimal role. The real world is much more like a poker game, with multiple players trying to make the best of whatever hand fortune has dealt them. In our industry, Bill Gates owns the table until someone proves otherwise." David Moschella, "Computerworld" "I think that we are all in the right place at the right time almost every day. It's the people who are prepared to be lucky who can take advantage of being there. How do these people position themselves to be lucky? It was Goethe who said, 'Anytime that you take the first step toward trying to achieve something in life, all manner of good things will mysteriously fall into your path to help speed you along your way.' Amen to that!" Phil Hellmuth, 1989 WSOP Champion "Cards are war, in disguise of a sport." Charles Lamb, "Essays of Elia" (1832) "It's not enough to succeed. Others must fail." Gore Vidal "Perception is reality." Immanuel Kant ”Poker is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you could find outside an advertising agency.” Raymond Chandler ”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.

Instead, he'd point to that deck of cards on table and say, "Shuffle up and deal.” Lou Krieger ”Poker is... a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human nature.” David A Daniel “I could think of worse ways of going than at the poker table.” Al Alvarez “I think one of the interesting things about poker is that once you let your ego in, you're done for.” Al Alvarez “Last year people won more than one billion dollars playing poker. And casinos made twenty-seven billion just by being around those people” Samantha Bee “The best part about poker is there's no down side” Samantha Bee “What I know about poker, you can fit into a thimble with room left over, but I'm learning” Wilford Brimley “No, that's poker. To win, you've gotta get damned lucky” Wilford Brimley “As far as poker goes, I really didn't play poker but a few times in high school” Doyle Brunson “Once I accepted the fact my career in sports was over, I started playing poker to support myself” Doyle Brunson “People today who play in all the big fancy (legal) cardrooms don't understand what it was like back in those days to be a poker player with all the problems we had” Doyle Brunson “We got robbed in poker games lots of times” Doyle Brunson “I also learned from Johnny Moss - who was the best poker player in the world at that time. I got to watching him and studying him” Doyle Brunson “I mean there are usually no direct answers to how do you play such-and-such a hand when somebody raises in front. Every poker situation is different. The only way you can learn is to play” Doyle Brunson “Ninety percent of the hands aren't shown in a poker game” Doyle Brunson “When I saw those pictures of me at the poker tournament, I couldn't believe how old I looked” Doyle Brunson “As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think "actor" and see some easy money” Matt Damon “I don't attempt to be a poker player before this crowd” Dwight D. Eisenhower “Ida and Pearl, the two Jewish broads from Cheyenne, that's how they were known. One of my first memories of my grandmother is of her trying to teach me how to play poker when I couldn't even see the table. I'd dress up and try to go gambling with the old ladies, and for some reason they'd let me in” Gina Gershon “Playing poker in their Quonset hut on Tinian, killing the last hours of the preatomic age” Peter Goldman “I love to relive the memories of when I was spry enough to fish the little trout streams. Otherwise, I like to write and play poker” Tony Hillerman “Air power is like poker. A second-best hand is like none at all - it will cost you dough and win you nothing” George Kenney “Abruptly the poker of memory stirs the ashes of recollection and uncovers a forgotten ember, still smoldering down there, still hot, still glowing, still red as red” William Manchester “Before we met Myelin, we were working on a Casino product that had Poker as one of its components” Tim Page “Initial feedback we got from people was that Poker could and should be a product in its own right. For us, that was definitely a case of us not seeing the forest for the trees since we are Poker nuts” Tim Page “Being able to pit your wits against literally hundreds of other people is really exciting and ultimately the biggest single challenge for a poker player” Tim Page “You're not allowed to give yourself a nickname. This holds true in life as well as in poker.” Richard Roeper “Living in the past is a Jethro Tull album, not a smart poker strategy” Richard Roeper “Meanwhile, there's more poker than soft porn on cable TV these days - and the broadcast networks are getting in on the game as well” Richard Roeper “And there's the World Series of Poker, known as the last American Gold Rush. In the 2005 tourney, more than 5,600 players competed for the top prize of $7.5 million” Richard Roeper “But when you're playing poker, you don't know the answer to that until after the cards are laid down, and then it's too late” Fred Thompson "Poker is alot like sex, everone thinks they are the best, but most don't have a clue what they are doing!" Dutch Boy'd "Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand. " Cool Hand Luke, 1967 "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits" Anonymous "Don't get mad that you lost, get mad because you didn't win." Michael Gersitz “When we play, we must realize, before anything else, that we are out to make money.” David Sklansky "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." Anthony Holden, Big Deal "Poker reveals to the frank observer something else of import—it will teach him about his own nature. Many bad players do not improve because the cannot bear self-knowledge." David Mamet "Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit, you are shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you." Jack Strauss “In the absence of any mathematical explanation, one thing is for certain; if you engage in games of chance long enough, the experience is bound to affect the way you see God. Successfully draw to an inside straight three hands in a row, and you’ve got to be blessed. But if you’re the person drawn out on, the one whose trip aces just got snapped for the third time, you will go home feeling cursed.” Andy Bellin, Poker Nation “The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.” William J. Florence, From The Gentleman’s Handbook on Poker “The real things to know is that folks will stand to lose more than they will to win. That’s the most important percentage there is. I mean, if they lose, they’re willin’ to lose everything. If they win, they’re usually satisfied to win enough to pay for dinner and a show. The best gamblers know that.” Pug Pearson “The cardinal sin in poker, worse than playing did cards, worse even than figuring your odds correctly, is becoming emotionally involved.” Katy Lederer, A Girlhood Among Gamblers “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..” Amarillo Slim "He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace." "Razz is a terrible game with no skill involved whatsoever. But in some ways razz is like having sex without a condom; it's the only true way to play poker but at the same time you're going to get all sorts of diseases and be miserable because you have herpes and burning crabs." Difference between a church and a poker room is that when you pray at the poker table you actually mean it. "Two Kings beats two Bitches, Bitch!" A broke man can't think, a jealous man can't work and a scared man can't bet When a man with experience and a man with money meet at a poker table, the man with experience will leave with the money and the man who had the money will leave with experience. "I'd rather lose today and learn something and then use it to make some money tomorrow". -Brian Wilson "Nobody folds anymore. Welcome to the new age of poker" -Mike Matusow "One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider." - Damon Runyon "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned." ~From the movie The Color of Money
