In poker, as in business, the secret is in knowing how to manage risk and capitalize on opportunity. - Lou Krieger
It’s unpleasant to play poker with a poor loser, but it’s much better than playing with any kind of winner. - Evan Esar
Only about thirty poker players I can think of make serious money year in and year out playing poker. The rest make a killing one year, lose the next, or lose all the time and lie about it. - Katy Lederer
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. - Lou Krieger
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. - Karl Menninger
The cardinal sin in poker, worse than playing bad cards, worse even than figuring your odds correctly, is becoming emotionally involved. - Katy Lederer
There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips. - William J. Florence
Whether he likes it or not, a man's character is stripped bare 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
