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.

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.

When you go card dead its torture just sitting there.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We never talk about gambling around my house.

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