DOYLE BRUNSON

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

We never talk about gambling around my house.

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.

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.

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

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

When I was coming up through the ranks, not that many people carried a lot money of money on them. This was before checks and credit cards.

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

May the flop be with you.

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

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

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

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

I can't believe how much money I lose betting on sports. "sucker born every minute". That's me!
