“Your greatness in poker is in the hands you fold, not
in the hands you play”
Poker is not made of spectacular hands but of discipline and patience waiting for a good spot. And that's what matters, the Ace high payout may look good, but it's not always the most profitable.
"I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and, when played well, nourishes the wallet." -- Lou Krieger
"Serious players are at war with the shuffle. They tend to prefer no-limit or pot-limit hold'em because big-bet poker gives them the leverage to win pots without the best hand." -- James McManus
"A computer could play fair-to-middling poker. But no computer could ever stand face-to-face with a table full of people it had never met before, and make quality decisions based on psychology." -- Doyle Brunson
"It's great to meet someone who understands that for a real player, money means nothing in the end. It's just a tool, like a language for formulating thoughts." -- Edward Jay Robinson in The Cincinnati Kid (1965)
