Poker Is ...
"Poker is the new pornography. The Internet is awash with it … it’s banned in China and it’s full of excitable Scandinavians."
- Rick Dacey on 'InsidePokerMag.co.uk' (2006)
Poker As Warfare
"In poker, there is no tomorrow. You have to pick the hill you want to defend and die trying, or be king of the hill."
- Johnny Hale on 'GamingToday.com' (2009)
Poker 101
"Every bluff is now revealed as the product of untold computations, every bullying all-in raise seen for the science that it is, the arithmetic of incomplete knowledge. Unless, of course, it’s just a bad guess."
- Richard Hoffer in 'Sports Illustrated magazine' (2003)
Poker Card and Poker Hands
"The cards have no regard for sex; they’ll just as soon make a straight for a woman as a man - only it will sting worse if you have a scrotum."
- Michael Konik (2001)
Poker Games
"No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em may be the Cadillac of poker games, but there are plenty of other fine cars out there in the showroom."
- Conrad Brunner on 'CardPlayer.com' (2006)
Poker Rooms
"The card clubs of California are vast sheds of frenetic activity filled with noise and excitement, proffering some 200 tables divided between American poker and Chinese games. They are good fun in their own way. But for true believers, Binion’s in May is better than April in Paris."
- David Spanier in 'The Independent' (1995)
World Series of Poker
"The Americans tip the odds in their own favour, with WSOP tournaments like Limit Razz and Ace To Five Draw; such un-British games that they might as well be competitions to see who can name the most Texan garden centres."
- Victoria Coren in 'The Guardian' (2001)
Poker Stars
"To become a first-rate poker player, you must be one part mathematician, one part economist and one part psychiatrist."
- Robert Schraff
"Phil Hellmuth, the loudest, most obnoxious, and biggest all-around cry-baby in the poker universe."
- Daniel Fierman in 'Entertainment Weekly' (2004)
"Phil Ivey is a top-notch negotiator, making Samuel L Jackson look like a 5th grader."
- Gus Hansen, 'Every Hand Revealed' (2008)
"Daniel Negreanu is known for his friendly and chatty nature with time for anyone but beware, whilst you’re making friends with a poker legend, he’s reading your soul!"
- Shaun Dean on 'PokerPlayer.co.uk' (2010)
As well as quotes about the 'real' poker world, "The Quotable Poker Player" also includes a large selection of quotations about Poker Media: Poker Books, Poker Movies, Poker Sites, Poker on TV and Poker Songs.
Poker Books
"Anthony Holden, author of the bestselling book about poker, 'Big Deal', goes out of his way to emphasise that poker is not gambling because it is a game of skill, and yet he won’t go down to the tables without wearing his lucky watch."
- Mike Atherton, 'Gambling' (2006)
Poker Movies
"Hollywood often uses gambling, and less often card playing, to add a flavour to a movie. Unfortunately most of these movies have silly scenes ('House of Games') or stink ('Honeymoon in Vegas') or both ('Maverick')."
- Steve Badger on 'PlayWinningPoker.com'
Poker On T.V.
"These days, people watch poker on TV until their eyes turn as red as the ace of hearts."
- Jon Saraceno in 'USA Today' (2004)
Poker Songs
"No matter how much you’re tempted, do not hum or sing any portion of 'The Gambler' by Kenny Rogers."
Richard Roeper in 'The Chicago Sun-Times' (2005)
