Farha said something like this in HSP:

Dont laugh at my cards please, that was the cards she gave me, if shed given me aces Id play aces.

This got a genuine LOL out of me

I know it’s crooked, but it’s the only game in town”. - “Canada Bill” Jones

When the riverboats opened in Tunica, Mississippi in the early 1990’s there were a plethora of colorful poker players who patronized them. These are some of the quotes I can remember.
“I don’t know if I’m a gambler on a losing streak or just a loser on a gambling streak.”
“ I’d rather be the best of the bad players than the worst of the good players”.
“All the bad players think I’m good, and all the good players think IÂ’m a fish”.
After a player suffered a bad beat and subsequently reminded the table of his misfortune, this character would tell him “ no one gives a **** but you”. That sums up the empathy pretty succinctly.
And in the same vein, often when this particular table left the game, he would make the comment “ good luck to everybody except one person” leaving everyone wondering??.

"basically just wondered what stakes you play and ****. i'm not a micro poor person and stuff lol. i'm not poor. i'm in college and i drive a 2004 bmw and i wear expensive jewelry. despite what you read on the forums i've made a lot from poker. i've also travled all over to various live tournaments and i rented out a house in vegas last year during the wsop for 12k for 30 days w/ a bunch of online pros.... so i'm not poor and i'm not going to scam you lol if thats what you're afraid of. my friend also lives in columubs..... he plays as "retiredat30" on UB and is up 60k this month. we just went to a strip club the other nite after the ugly tuna and spent @ least 500 it was awesome. i'm also good friends w/ wiggins and caby and have roomed w/ them b4 @ poker events... i'm legit and currently drunk but holla @ me if u ever wanna party it up."

#3 is physiologically correct. That is how the dopamine system works. It reinforces anticipation fulfillment.

Max Morath used this line in all his Ragtime Music stage shows in the 1970's...

... and attributed it to the fictional Finley Peter Dunne character ("Mr. Dooley") from the 1920's.

Mr. Wong, I wish you would post more.

I enjoy your comments every time.

Those who chase the Straights and Flushes (go home on buses).

Blaming women for the failures of Men is going out of style bud.

That's what I heard too. ??!

Forgot about that one. So good. Was that in response to the Pokerstars chat where the guy said 'your dog is ugly' and the dude's avatar was his kid? Or were those 2 separate golden moments?

The only quote that comes to mind was so short and perfect that I figured it was from a movie, a book, or something clearly recognizable. I google searched it just now after seeing this thread and it showed up as 0 results so I will have to credit it to my Grandpa for now. If there is a true origin I'd love to know where it was from.

"Always cut away from home"

Basically translated to if you aren't playing inside your own home, or with your friends/family/people you trust, insist on cutting the deck. We only played Rummy, and a lot of it, so maybe that was a phrase more popular in that community.

Just one time!

Happy Ganktober !!

-Unlucky man.
-Nice hand.

You have to read it in Marlon Brando's voice.

From the opening scene of California Split, a very realistic banter of an angry shitreg trying to angle in a hand at 2/4limit lowball and as the pot gets scooped he continues to complain about a detail of the hand and the main character whose being accused of collusion just says "THAT'S YESTERDAYS NEWS!". This line plays in my head every time someone is telling me a bad beat story.
