Doyle Brunson Quotations

A man with money is no match against a man on a mission.

Ninety percent of the hands aren't shown in a poker game.

I still have the mentality of a 19-year-old mind.

Through the years I've never stopped doing things, thinking about things, and I still think young.

Saw that I could make more money in one pot than what was in that entire paycheck selling a week of office supplies

We never talk about gambling around my house.

I once went a whole summer without seeing the sun. I would play all night, then sleep all day.

There's no life like the life I've lived. You're free like a cloud floating up in the sky.

To start with you had to keep from getting arrested by the police. Then, you had to keep from getting cheated in the games. You also had to worry about collecting the money if you won. Then finally, after all that was said and done - you had to keep from getting hijacked.

The thought of money and fame and all that is nice to have. But it's not what's really important.

When you go card dead its torture just sitting there.

I now see what the really important things in life are and they don't relate to what I do for a living.

Everyone gets lucky once in a while, but no one is consistently lucky.

Try to decide how good your hand is at a given moment. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

Show me your eyes and you may as well show me your cards.

It's not the cards that you have all the time that makes you a winner or a loser.

The key to No-Limit... is to put a man to a decision for all his chips.

May the flop be with you.

It's like hitting the lottery. We've got more tickets than everybody, but you've still got to hit.

Super System 2, I try never to play this hand.

I know we'll be able to raise a lot of awareness for an issue that plagues our world and could have devastating consequences down the road if nothing is done.
