I wanted to start a thread to hear what some of you guys favorite quotes by professional poker players are. My favorite by far is "if luck wasn't involved I guess I would win everytime" by Phil Hellmuth. That guy thinks he is so great and it was hilarious to watch him go out so early in the main event last night. I do have to admit that he had a terrible string of hands to start. JJ having to face QQ followed immediately by KK facing AA. I know I probably would have been long gone after those two hands. He could be a great poker player if he would just keep his mouth shut.

"Anyone who thinks cardplaying is a 'game' - I'll show you a loser. Money... M-O-N-E-Y. That's how you measure success. One dollar at a time. One chip at a time. That's how you keep score." - Stu Unger

This one sums up what Stu Ungar was all about.
