I think i've learned more from "one liners" than from everything eles, so I thought I'd start a topic to collect them.
I'll start with a few I like, and leave others to fill in the blanks =)
* If it's good enough to call, it's good enough to raise.
* KQJT is twice as good as AKQJ.
What are your favorites?

"Hey baby, come here often?"
Oh, you mean poker. I got a few with varying degrees of validity.
"If you're not willing to bet it all, then don't bet at all."
"Never bluff a poor player, heavy winner, or heavy loser."
"Always go into a tournament with a game plan."

If you showed 10 of your greatest plays, 8 of them would be folds.

Rilla said that in another thread. A guy hit trip 6's on the flop and was wondering if he played it right by getting all of his money on the table.
Good quote...

"When in doubt, fold."
I used to use "when in doubt, push" but then I realized I should have folded 90% of the time.

Best line of the week -- from Lee Jones's cardplayer article on SNGs.
(on a really foolish crying call at the river)
"Sure, it would have been tough to come back from $400, but it was a lot easier than coming back from $0."

They always have the ace.
Good manners costs you nothing, bad manners can wake the sleeping shark.
No one knows where the hobo goes when it snows (Amarillo Slim after being busted on a bluff).
When in doubt get out.
In theory there's no difference between practice and theory, in practice there is.

hmm, i have a few
fold kq to any pf raises in a higher limit game that isn't full of retards
stop calling All-ins with vulnerable hands (big one for me today)
never underestimate the power of stupid players, you need really good hands to take them down
don't worry about pot odds so much, if you're beat, and you know it, fold.
when in doubt, raise
bluffing big pots in cash games is a good way to lose chips (unless of course you've laid down some monsters before this, DONT BLUFF)
learn the difference between aggression and bluffing, theres a fine line

"Slow playing is highly overrated."
btw Winston Churchill was a worthless pokerplayer. He once played poker against a bunch of American journalists who had been told to lose on purpose. He still couldn't win.

"You can't worry about somebody having the nuts all the time."
-Doyle Brunson
As a new player, I've had a hard time remembering this at crunch time. Especially in big heads-up pots in the of live tournaments I've played so far.

*In no-limit hold 'em, every time you put one chip in the pot, you're entire stack is at risk --Harrington

*never EVER listen to that voice that says "I know I shouldn't call, but..." If you know you shouldn't call, then why ever do it?
