Poker Quotations
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he's losing; nobody wants you to quit when you're ahead.
Jackie Robinson
As for poker, I've stayed away from that, even though when I was in Vegas for Ocean's Eleven, I would get accosted by these guys begging me to play. They just want to take my money. They see me, think "actor" and see some easy money.

Not having the online game has made it more difficult. There are a lot of young and upcoming players in poker. But you don't get to see them because TV has sort of been taken away.

If you're a poker player and you show up at a casino at 8 a.m., you're going to be by yourself or with some people that are rocks and just don't give you any action.

The pros really like all the new people playing poker because they love the dead money; but when the money wins they don't like that very much at all.

For the most part, I get to do what I want to do. If I want to play poker, I can. If I don't want to play poker, I don't have to.
Chris Moneymaker
When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot.
