“This was my first lesson about gambling: if you see somebody winning all the time, he isn't gambling, he's cheating. Later on in life, if I were continuously losing in any gambling situation, I would watch very closely.” - Malcolm X
That's the Nature of Poker Players...

“At gambling, the deadly sin is to mistake bad play for bad luck.”
This quote is from the James Bond book (and movie) Casino Royale, written by Ian Fleming. It emphasizes a mistake that many gamblers make: blaming bad luck instead of trying to work if they made a bad play or bet.Variation of a Famous Old Saying...
I am watching the Vikings pre-game show this morning and they are discussing the chances of the 4-6 Vikings make the play-offs. One of the commentators says... what is that old saying?
"They got two chances. Slim and none, and None left town." - Dawn Mitchell
Well, close, lol! It kind of detracts from it when None leaves town, instead of Slim... lol!
The actual saying is one of the most popular of All Time and originates from the Greatest of All Time...
“Frazier's got two chances. Slim, and none. And Slim just left town.”
-Muhammad Ali

“Gambling is not about how well you play the games, it’s really about how well you handle your money.”
This is from poker player V. P. Pappy. We could pick a number of quotes from him as he’s made several great ones, but this is probably our favorite in terms of the advice it contains. He is making the excellent point that good money management is absolutely essential to successful gambling.[FONT=gscom !important][/FONT]
Doc Holiday
I’ll be your huckleberry!! The great Doc Holiday from the movie Tombstone. Absolutely awesome. I use this at the poker table quite often. Puts a smile on my face every time I say it. And if someone else happens to say it, I give them props!!

“Quit while you’re ahead. All the best gamblers do.”
This is a quote from Baltasar Gracián y Morales, a 17th century philosopher. We like it because, several hundred years later, it remains one of the single best pieces of gambling advice. If you can learn to quit when you are ahead, then you have an excellent chance of being a successful gambler.
I have a few favorite quotes.

“The smarter you play, the luckier you’ll be.” Mark Pilarski
“Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art.” Jack Strauss
“If you’re playing a poker game and you look around the table and can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.” Paul Newman
