My favorite poker quotes

Here are some of the quotes that I know of together with what I think about them:

From General David Shoup - "The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; happens at the poker table all the time."

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."

From Unknown person - "If, after the first twenty minutes, you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you."

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.

This serves as a warning to those who think they can never lose. In poker, there will be times that you win, and also you will lose.

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

This quotation does not really teach much about poker, it's just plain funny.

From Charles Lamb, "Essays of Elia" (1832) - "Cards are war, in disguise of a sport."

When you play poker, you use tactics, such as in war. In poker, your cards become your weaponry, so use them well.

From Wilson Mizner - "Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing from something."

Some people believe that poker is nothing but a total waste. Waste of time, waste of money and waste of effort. But how about those who make it big and win millions? Even if you do not win, it's not really a total waste, at least you've learned something. Nothing ventured, nothing gained sounds better.
