Poker is not just a game. It’s an art form. It’s a way of life. It is a psychological game which not only entertains but also challenges your mind and creativity. Here is the collection of some of the best things ever said about poker by famous people –
- “Life, like poker, has an element of risk. It shouldn’t be avoided. It should be faced.” ~ Edward Norton
- “You will show your poker greatness by the hands you fold, not the hands you play.” ~ Dan Reed
- “Life is just a big game of Texas Hold’em, unexpected things may arise that may suit you or destroy you. You gotta make the best of the cards you’redealt, adjust accordingly, and always understand that you control your decisions.” – Mustafa Said
- “Just play every hand, you can’t miss them all.” ~ Sammy Farha
- “The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing or, more particularly with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.” ~ William J. Florence
- “The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; happens at the poker table all the time.” ~ General David Shoup
- “Look. You are playing poker (I assume you know poker, or at least—like a lot of people—anyway play it.) You draw cards. When you do that, you affirm two things: either that you have something to draw to, or are willing to support to your last cent the fact that you have not. You don’t draw and then throw the cards in because they are not what you wanted, expected, hoped for; not just for the sake of your own soul and pocket-book, but for the sake of the others in the game, who have likewise assumed that unspoken obligation.” – William Faulkner
- “If you’re playing a poker game and you look around the table and can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.” ~ Paul Newman
- “Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well” – Jack London
- “Nobody is always a winner, and anybody who says he is, is either a liar or doesn’t play poker.” ~ Amarillo Slim
- “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to be good at poker.” ~ Phil Gordon
- “I think one of the interesting things about poker is that once you let your ego in, you’re done for.” ~ Al Alvarez
- “Poker is a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human nature.” ~ David A. Daniel
- “Play like a champ. Win like a champ. Act like a champ.” ~ Frank Henderson
- “Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; though the way you play it is free will.” ~ Jawaharlal Nehru
