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."
What's the difference between a large cheese pizza and a poker player?

A large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

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...

Best line of the week -- from Lee Jones's cardplayer article on SNGs.

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.
