Hi,

I wonder if you guys can help me? I’m doing some research and I’m trying to collaborate a list of poker (or gambling but mainly poker) quotes and sayings, etc. I would appreciate it if you could help. It doesn’t matter how obvious or simple you think they are, I want to try and make sure I get as much as possible.

I would also be interested in famous poker stories, such as the dead man’s hand story etc.

Would also be interested if you know of any good web resources for things like this.

Thanks for your help.

There were a couple of articles about it in cardplayer in 2004. You can read them on the cardplayer website in the archive. They are by no means comprehensive but might help you.

I like "Before you critisize someone you should walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you critisize them you'll be a mile away and you'll have his shoes."

Not strictly to do with gambling/cards but I like it.

Asking someone who is boring you with a tale of their latest outdraw to speak to the mirror coz that's the only thing in the room what'll listen.

someone has this as a sig on another forum:-

When I hear someone telling a story about how he shrewdly layed down a middle set after some intricate chain of reasoning convinced him he was beaten, my quick (but silent) reaction is "idiot".

Thanks guys. A few there I haven't heard before. I'm also interested in little quotes and sayings such as 'I'm all in', 'Chip and a chair', 'On tilt', 'The nuts', etc. etc. Don't worry if you think they are too obvious, I just want to make sure I get as many as possible.

Thanks again.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

nicked from another forum signature:

Mike "The Mouth" Matsuow vs Phil Hellmuth:

MM: "Oh you can't play poker, you have to play cards."

MM: "Phil, you are too weak tight, I'm not afraid to push it all in with nothing."

Phil: "What happens when you get called with nothing?"

One from Phil Ivey's first WSOP final table.

Ivey had been playing quite tight, except for the fact he kept re-raising Phil Hellmuth.

'Every time I bet, you raise', Hellmuth said.

Ivey kept quiet, but Amarillo Slim (also at the table) said to Hellmuth, 'Why shouldn't he? You keep folding.'

'Slim, that's why I got so many bracelets - they bet, bet, bet and then boom, they got no outs', replied Hellmuth.

Slim shut him up by saying 'What's bracelets got to do with that boy robbing you all the time?' Smiley

Whilst waiting for a call on the river..

"Does a flush beat a straight?"

Opponent calls, speaker shows a full house.

Closely followed, no doubt, by 'Speaker starts looking for his teeth on the floor'

I should think not, this happened in Glasgow.

We settle disputes in a more gentlemanly manner.

That and Speaker was probably more concerned finding his brains on the wall.
