Absolutely, I love that perspective. Poker quotes and poetic advice often carry layers of meaning, just like life itself. A phrase about patience, risk, or reading others can resonate differently depending on where you are in your journey—sometimes it’s strategic, other times it’s philosophical. I’ve always found that the most powerful ones are those that make you pause and reflect, whether it’s about controlling your emotions, embracing uncertainty, or learning from losses. Sharing these not only inspires us at the table but also reminds us that poker is as much an art as it is a game of skill
