what's your poker wisdom?

[Sarge85]

"Checking and Calling is rarely the correct way to make money in Holdem"

S&M - HEFAP

Somewhere I read - (and for the life of me I can't find it) someone said to effect -

"It's not that I play better poker than others, but I play better cards PF, so my outcome will naturally be better."

I'm butchering that I'm sure - I thought it was in TOP but I can't find it - if someone knows the exact quote - let me know please!

"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

My favorite too, I use it when talking about baseball betting on betfair. (and it's true)

A variation on the losing a tourney on the first day thing that I use is:
"Nobody ever won a tournament when they were not present at the final table"

One that applies to posts here that I use often:

"I'd rather know something twice than not at all"

Finally:

"If you have to ask whether you should give up your job to play poker, you shouldn't"

Not sure if this has been used, haven't looked through all the replies yet....

Everyone has to believe in something, I believe I'll raise.

I'm ripping off davidross - but this is true on so many levels:

1) Other players bad play will make me far more money than my fancy or brilliant plays.
2) The guy that leads with a bet on the turn after not betting previously, has a big hand.
3) Folding costs me nothing pre-flop. If it’s a close decision, I can’t go far wrong by folding. (I need to tape this to the computer)

The guy that leads with a bet on the turn after not betting previously, has a big hand.
