10. "There is more poker than life. "- Tom McAvoy (Tom McEvoy)
Wait ... Go back and re-read the quote. Chances are you misread the first time. Too often, poker players forget this and let the game take over their lives. In this line, Tom McAvoy, a four-time gold bracelet winner and winner of the 1983 WSOP Main Event, ironically emphasizes this fact that exists in every average poker player.
9. "Limit poker is science, and no-limit is an art. In limit, you shoot at targets. In no-limit, the target comes to life and shoots back at you." - Crandell Addington (Crandell Addington)
Of course, this poker quote would have sounded more convincingly from a young poker pro than Crandell Addington, who played at a time when gathered poker players rarely played no-limit poker. Addington has finished second in the WSOP Main Event twice and played the final table of that tournament seven times in the 70s, making his quote prophetic.
8. "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, what matters is the number of bad beat stories you can tell." - Grantoland Rice(Grantland Rice)
A wonderful sports journalist who left us in 1954, Grantland Rice was known for his capacious quotes that revealed to people the whole truth about a particular game. The truth is that most of us don't get rich playing poker. The fact that we prioritize our failures, so we will surely have a couple interesting stories about.
7. "Trust everyone, but always remove the deck." - Benny Binion (Benny Binion)
(approx. "remove the deck" - shift the top of the shuffled cards (deck) to the bottom before dealing)
Benny Binion is a legendary poker player who founded the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Benny was also once accused of murdering a gambling competitor, which he had to shoot himself in the shoulder to have the charges dropped, as he allegedly acted in self-defense.
6. "You can shear a sheep a thousand times, but you can only skin it once." - Amarillo Slim Preston (Amarillo Slim Preston)

5. "Poker is like sex. Everyone thinks it's the best, but most don't even know what they are doing." - Dutch Boyd (Dutch Boyd)
Boyd is right here that almost every poker player exaggerates his capabilities. Ask anyone at the average NL200 No Limit Hold'em table who is the most successful player and you will see a forest of hands. They are not lying to you, they do not want to face the truth. It is very easy to forget about five losing sessions if you have a winning good session.
4. "If there was no luck, I would have won every time." - Phil Hellmuth(Phil Hellmuth)
Phil Hellmuth is a poker quote machine. This quote is very difficult to ignore. And he's right, luck makes poker more balanced. Luck is the reason poker pros don't win every tournament they play. Even a beginner poker player can easily win, say, the Sunday Million.
3. "If you don't see a loser at the table, then you are the loser." - (Matt Damon) in film " Sharpie»
This quote has been interpreted in different ways, but for most of us, this quote is associated with the movie "Sharpshooter". This film made us believe in ourselves, as if we could be the next Johnny Chen.
2. "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser." - Stu Hangar(Stu Ungar)
"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser" - this is the quote on English language and there is a deep meaning in these ten words. Stu Ungar is a three-time WSOP main event winner who has always despised defeat and did not get along well with it. But, frankly, he did not get along with victories, leaving us from an overdose after receiving the fifth and final gold bracelet.
1. "The money won is twice as sweet as the money earned." - Paul Newman (Paul Newman) in film " Money color»
If you are not familiar with the film "The Color of Money" (The Color of Money), then you have lost a lot. Yes, this is not a film about poker, and not even about cards, but in my opinion, the quote speaks for itself. We all want to be workaholics and enjoy life, but in reality it is always more fun to get rich “the easier way”.
