If luck weren't involved, I'd win every time.

Want to know my cards - pay.

Try to decide how good your hand is at a given moment. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

Try to understand yourself before others at first. It’s the main life and poker mistake.

It never hurts for potential opponents to think you’re more than a little stupid.

There have been some good books written on poker, but most of them have been by college professors, or by people who have run something through computers. I had to learn to use my eyes and my ears, and neighbor, I can see a gnat's ass at a hundred yards and hear a mouse wet on cotton.

More than any other game, poker depends on your understanding your opponent.

You can shear a sheep a hundred times, but you can skin it only once.

I’m just in patient mode, just waiting for you guys to give me money.

I have no boss to tell me what to do. I play whenever I want. That’s the freedom I didn’t have before.
