"Bad beats are a really bad mental habit. You don’t want to ever dwell on them. It doesn’t help you become a better player. It’s like dumping your garbage on someone else’s lawn. It just stinks." -- Erik Seidel

One of my all-time favorites is: 'Poker is a hard way to make an easy living.' It perfectly sums up the grind.

"People think mastering the skill is the hard part, but they're wrong....The trick to poker is mastering the luck"

just wondering if anyone else has some good quotes...
just leave me a messages if ya will....telling me how u like or not like my quote.
Love your quote — it’s basically the poker version of “I’m just a lucky guy with a lot of practice” 😎.

And yes! From Ocean’s Eleven: “You’re either in or you’re out. You stick with the plan, or you get left behind.” Could easily be a poker mantra… or the motto of anyone bluffing with a terrible hand.

“Investment is just like poker because there are so many different strategies that you can take – some of the best players are the hyper-aggressive ones, some of them are tighter players who wait and pick their spots better; there’s no set strategy that’s the best possible strategy.”

Vanessa Selbst is my poker idol. I admire her ability to read opponents. Her playing style is aggressive and yet calculated and she has impressive achievements.
