Quotes

  • hafizovhas quoted6 years ago
    To me poker is not about proving I can beat everyone. It is about paying the bills.”138
  • hafizovhas quoted6 years ago
    Some moderately competent players become winners by playing only against weak players. I call them “walkers” because they walk around looking for soft games. If they don’t find one, they keep walking.
  • hafizovhas quoted6 years ago
    Winners also look for games that favor their style of play. They keep records that teach them, for example, that they win more in shorthanded than full games or that they do poorly against very aggressive opponents. Then they play only in the right kind of games.
