1. “Don't leave it to the law of averages to make you break even.”
Mike Caro
2. “At the table, don't let your opponents know anything. Always spread maximum disinformation.”
Antonio Esfandiari
3. “Take a break from the game. Often, stepping away can give you a fresh perspective and heightened motivation to play well when you return.”
Chris Ferguson
4. “Two things to be successful in poker: find the muck and don’t play your own money.”
David ‘The Devilfish’ Ulliott
5. “I have one very simple piece of advice to help you with this part of your game. It may sound so simple you’ll wonder why I am mentioning it, but in fact, this is one of my most important rules: ALWAYS FOLD JUNK!”
Allen Cunningham
6. Do not raise in No-Limit Hold ‘em - especially tournaments - if there is a reasonable chance that a re-raise will make you throw up.
David Sklansky
7. “Patience, discipline, patience, patience, observe and learn, patience, patience … did I mention patience?”
Dave Colclough
8. “Learn to understand and read yourself before you try to understand and read anyone else, that’s the first mistake poker players make ... and players in the game of life as well.”
Gus Hansen
9. “The strong point in poker is never to lose your temper, either with those you are playing with or, more particularly, with the cards. There is no sympathy in poker. Always keep cool. If you lose your head you will lose all your chips.”
William J. Florence
10. “If you never bluff, you’ll rarely get called. If you bluff all the time, you’ll always get called.”
Phil Hellmuth
11. "If there is one thing about poker that strikes me as odd, it is this. Poker is the only profession in the world where it pays to surround yourself with the biggest morons you can find."
Phil Gordon
12. "My number one tip is always to play tight. From my experience, most new players play about 80% of the hands they are dealt in Texas Hold ’em. In fact, the reverse should be the case: they should only play about 20% of them!"
Annie Duke
13. "Bluffing is representing what you don’t have, hoping to win a pot you have no business winning. But remember, your bluffs have to make sense. I like to think of bluffing as telling a nice fictional story."
Josh Arieh
14. "It really doesn’t matter what style you play, but it’s very important that you know how you play. If you aren’t conscious of your own style, it leaves the door wide open for your opponents to figure you out."
Jamie Gold
15. "It’s good to know the numbers, but it’s equally important to know how to get them. And if you use the available tools whenever you aren’t sure, you’ll start to remember them when they come up at the table. In poker, every tool in your toolbox brings you one step closer to mastery of the game."
Andy Bloch
16. "Think your way through all situations. When things have gone badly, sit there just as tough as you were when you came in. That can be very discouraging to other players."
Erick Seidel
17. "Any bluff or counter-bluff you make has to be calculated. Any play should be based on some information from the betting, the player, or from some any reads that you’re able to make."
Ross Boatman
18. "As you work on your Hold ‘em game, remember that you don’t have to give the advantage in the hand to the player in late position. Look for opportunities to bet out and seize the initiative."
Gus Hansen
19. "By dropping down and playing a lot of hands, you’re going to learn a lot about poker. You’re also going to have a lot of fun. Lord knows, playing 50% of the hands is a whole lot more entertaining than sitting around waiting for Aces."
Erick Lindgren
20. "In the end, poker is just like life - it's all about sales, confidence and bluffing. I believe that you must look, smell, feel and act like a millionaire before becoming one."
