unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows

sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a "flush". It is
enough to make one ashamed of the species." - Saying by Mark Twain

life." Quotation from Anthony Holden in "Big Deal"

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

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." Quotation by Stu Unger

is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you could find outside
an advertising agency"

does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his

for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and
who smiles all the time"

the worst of it, you can't beat anyone"
Saying from Lou Krieger
"There's
opportunity in poker.... If Horace Greeley were alive today, his advice

Quotation from Lou
Krieger
"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"
Motivation saying by John Luckacs
"Poker
is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and

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"
Deep thoughts by David Moschella
"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

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" Great
saying by W. Somerset Maugham

n. A game said to be played with cards for some purpose to this

Shoup

is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody
wants you to quit when you're ahead"
Great saying from Jackie Robinson
"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"
Quotation from David Mamet
"Whether
he likes it or not, a man’s character is stripped at the poker table;

do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as in life"

for a
bottle of wine; to me that's not worth it. But I'm not going

want. So if a guy wants to bet twenty or thirty thousand
dollars in a
poker game, that is his privilege" Deep thoughts (or justification?)
by Jack Binion

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
