“Whether he likes it or not, a man’s character is stripped bare at the poker table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as in life.”

" For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost. For want of a battle the KINGDOM was lost. And all for the want for a horseshoe nail. "

Friend of mine gave me link of this vid... It's clip from movie, Any Given Sunday.

quotes in here

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward."

Friedrich Nietschke

That which does not kill you ...makes you stronger.

Become who you are - Nietzsche (I don't know how to spell it either)

Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems - Descartes (God of philosophy imo).

Man’s highest joy is in victory. To conquer one’s enemies; to pursue them; to deprive them of their possessions; to make their beloved weep; to ride on their horses; and to embrace their wives and daughters."
- Genghis Khan

I have a life moto and all but I try to stay away from "inspirational quotes", although there are some cool Einstein quotes that I like.

Like this one for example:

Mike Mcdermott on BRM

"If you're too careful your whole life can become a fcukin grind"

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity"

"Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on." - the movie BLOW

"Poker is all about making more right decisions than your opponent. It's a combination of gathering information, analysing that information and adapting to your opponents.
It's about thinking rationally while taking emotions and guesswork out of the equation. The more you think logically about your game, the better your decisions will be."
-Tom Dwan

your worst enemy is your own ego

I must endure the misfortune and bring starvation for those who hunger for my defeat

The more you play the more you earn. The less you play the more you gamble.

There are no gods in poker. Everyone is imperfect and it's up to you to exploit that.

Poker is not about finding a positive EV decision. It's about playing the hand better than your opponent would in your shoes.

Thees are friggin excellent.
