who said the best one-liner about Poker - ever? - Page 7 - Poker News

Speaking of Durrrr, I also like the hand on High Stakes Poker where, after calling Negreneau with 9-high (he put him on a missed low straight draw), he says:
"I was trying to make one of those hero calls."

Prob not the best, but I found it humorous. Playing middle stakes limit and there is a loose Asian guy in about every pot and talking a ton.

He calls a guy down with pretty much nothing on the flop, which turns into a gutterball on the turn which turns into the nuts on the river. Guy goes off on him about how he's a donkey and asks how he can make such ridculous calls all night. The guy gives a deadpan look and says:

"Easy, I just put you on a hand I could beat and played from there"

Wow, what a pathetic fail you are: I first heard this line attributed to Eskimo Clark ... 20 years ago. It's that old, and you're that out of it. Mods should ban you, imo.

The line from the movie is correct, but not the scene pictured. The line came from was a scene set in the town jail, with WC Fields as sheriff. His wife's (Mae West) cousin Zeke, played by character actor Fuzzy Knight, arrives in town and Fields asks him if he has any of the elusive spondoolicks with him. Zeke says "You mean money?" Fields answers "Yes" and tells Zeke to put the "elusives" on the table and breaks out a deck of cards. Zeke asks Fields "Is this a game of chance?" Fields responds, "No, no, not the way I play it."

Unfortunately, Youtube does not have a clip of this scene.

wonder who actually wrote it,
it is attributed to WC, as so many sweet quotes are, but..

i have it like this on chapter one

...........................................A poker player: “Is this a game of chance?”
........................................A good poker player: “Not the way I play it, no.”
