The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

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.

Poker is a skill game pretending to be a chance game.

I'm not like a poker player. I'm not into bluff. My way is to look someone in the eye and tell them the way I'm intending to go. My cards are always on the table.

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.

A lot of boys in my poker circle are mathematicians who play on probability. I don't have that kind of brain, so I rely on instinct. But I recently found out that poker and cards in general go way back in my family gene pool.

If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.

I'm not a good poker player, but I've got one bluffing technique - as long as you're quick with the blinds, you're fine.

I've become addicted to playing poker because you're constantly faced with confusion, and winning is trying to make sense out of nonsense.

Poker is a charismatic game. People who are larger than life play poker and make their living from playing games and hustling.
