Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill part is hard, but they’re wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck.
I don't know who said it, but I think it's most relevant in the context of such a game as poker :)

Here's some I made up. Maybe someone said them before:
The fold is gold.
It's ok to make mistakes
Love to play
Play good poker
Don't overvalue the over pair
Don't give in to temptation

If you want, let me know which is your favorite and I look forward to reading yours too.

Not originally about poker, but definitely relatable to the game.
