5. Jack Strauss on Poker

“Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit, you are shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you.”
Discounting pot limit as it’s own discipline truer words have never been spoken about the differences between limit and no limit.  This is oft repeated and is worth repeating.  In limit poker, math geeks and astute strategists can follow a game plan and achieve success crunching the numbers, in no-limit poker it’s all about collisions, nerves, and dodging bullets.  Players shoot back indeed.  Wonder what the sequel quote would be if Strauss compared Hold ’Em to Omaha poker?

6. From Poker Nation by Andy Bellin

In the absence of any mathematical explanation, one thing is for certain; if you engage in games of chance long enough, the experience is bound to affect the way you see God. Successfully draw to an inside straight three hands in a row, and you’ve got to be blessed. But if you’re the person drawn out on, the one whose trip aces just got snapped for the third time, you will go home feeling cursed.

The swings of poker are brutal.  Highs that anybody who has gotten lucky can identify with and lows that everybody can understand.  There is nothing like feeling bulletproof one moment and snakebit the next.  There are few other vocations that can match the swings of poker.  It’s a rough life.

7. From The Gentleman’s Handbook on Poker by William J. Florence

The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.

Lose your head and lose your chips?  Yes.  Half of poker is about making your opponents lose their heads.  Nothing better than a guy spewing, unless it’s you doing the spewing.  Funny this quote is from teh Gentleman’s Handbook, because one of poker’s great lessons, applicable in all aspects of life, is no matter how bad things get, never lose your head.
