Most if not all of them apply to trading even life itself...
If you canât spot the sucker after your first half hour at the table, then you are
the sucker.
--------------
You play for a living. You donât gamble. You grind it out.
---------------
Get your money in when you have the best of it. Protect it when you donât.
Donât give anything away. A true grinder.
---------------
I learned how to win a little at a time. But finally Iâve learned this.If your too
careful - your whole life can become a fuckin grind
---------------
I hope you not thinking of putting all that glimmer in play.
---------------
Some people, pros even, wonât play no limit. They canât handle the swings.
---------------
Life is on the wire. The rest is just waiting.
---------------
Iâm down to the felt. I lost everything.
---------------
Happens to everyone. From time to time everyone goes bust. Youâll be back
in the game before you know it.
---------------
You donât hear much about guys who take their shot and miss. But Iâll tell you
what happens to them. They end up humping crappy jobs on midnight shifts
trying to figure out how they came up short.
--------------
The cardinal rule. Always leave yourself outs.
--------------
A nickel would get me start very nicely. 220? Hey thanks, but thatâs
like 11 bets.
--------------
Few players recall big pots they have won. But every player can recall with
remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career.
--------------
Itâs immoral to let a sucker keep his money
--------------
You can sheer a sheep many times. But skin him only once.
--------------
Heâs see all the angles but he doesn'tât have the balls to play one.
--------------
Why does this still seem like gambling to you? Why do you suppose the
same 5 five guys make it to the finals in the world series of poker every
single year?
--------------
I was watchin em when the cards came out. Thatâs just an old habit with me..likeâ¦.breathing.
You watched the cards?
I watched the cards also. But I was watching the players reacting to the cards.
--------------
We canât run from who we are. Our destiny chooses us.

Throw in your cards the moment you know you canât win. Fold the hand.
-----------
Your never down and out until your chips are all gone.
-----------
He doesnât know what hit him.
I know what that feels like. Like a locomotive through your stomach.
-----------
The move was folding. I canât lose what I donât put in the middle.
-----------
Fold or hang tough. Call or raise the bet. These are decisions you make at
the table. Sometimes the odds are stacked so clear thereâs only one way
to play it.Other times like holding a small pair against two over cards
itâs 6 to 5 or even money either way. Then itâs all about feel. Whatâs in
your guts.
-------------
I tell you to play within your means, you risk your whole bankroll. I tell you
not to over extend yourself, to rebuild , you go into hock for more.
I was givin you a livin Mike. Showing you the playbook I made off my
own beats. It wasnât enough for you.
------------
I put it all on the line thatâs true.But you know what ..it wasnât a bad beat.
I wasnât unlucky. I got outplayed. But I know Iâm good enough to sit at
that table. Itâs not a pipe dream.
-----------
Iâve often seen these people. These squares at the table. Short stacked and
long odds against. All their outs gone. One last card in the deck that can
help them. I used to wonder how they could let themselves get into
such bad shape. And how the hell they thought they could turn it around.
-----------
I told worm you canât lose what you donât put in the middle. But you canât win much either.
-----------
People insist on calling it luck.
