   [Poker is] as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you could find outside an advertising agency.  Good Quote by Raymond Chandler

   God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e., everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.  Wise Phrase by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens, 1991

   You have it in your power to turn a bad-beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone.  Wise Phrase by Lou Krieger

   There's opportunity in poker.... If Horace Greeley were alive today, his advice wouldn't be Go West, young man, and grow up with the country. Instead, he'd point to that deck of cards on table and say, Shuffle up and deal.  Famous Saying by 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.  Nice Word by John Luckacs

   Poker is a microcosm of all we admire and disdain about capitalism and democracy. It can be rough-hewn or polished, warm or cold, charitable and caring, or hard and impersonal, fickle and elusive, but ultimately it is fair, and right, and just.  Meaningful Quotation by Lou Krieger

   I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand.  Good Quote by Jonathan Swift

   Poker: the art of civilized bushwhacking.  Famous Saying by Nick Dandalos, attributed

   Industry 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.  Nice Word 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 against every man's, and every man's is against yours. Teamwork? Who 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.  Meaningful Quotation by W. Somerset Maugham

   Poker, n. A game said to be played with cards for some purpose to this lexicographer unknown.  Good Quote by Ambrose Bierce

   If, after the first twenty minutes, you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you.  Wise Phrase by Author Unknown

   Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.  Wise Phrase by Seven Wright

   Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.  Famous Saying by Charles Lamb

   The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; it happens at the poker table all the time.  Nice Word by David Shoup

   Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.  Meaningful Quotation by Jackie Robinson

   There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about it. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a flush. It is enough to make one ashamed of the species.  Good Quote by Mark Twain

   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.  Wise Phrase by David Mamet

   Most of the money you'll win at poker comes not from the brilliance of your own play, but from the ineptitude of your opponents.  Wise Phrase by Lou Krieger

   Whether he likes it or not, a man’s character is stripped 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.  Famous Saying by Anthony Holden

   Poker is... a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human nature.  Nice Word by David A Daniel
