Howard Lederer, on poker as a sport
Published on 2010-03-28 10:13:53
I don’t think poker is a sport. It’s the greatest game in the world, but it’s not a sport. The Olympics is the place for sports without leagues. Poker has its own place. Howard Lederer – 02/2010 – in ESPN Poker
Leo Margets, on being a female poker player
Published on 2010-03-26 08:09:30
Usually I just feel like another guy, but yeah, from time to time it happens that I run into Australopithecus tables, where my table mates seem they haven’t seen a woman in ages. I hate it in these cases. I don’t like feeling over observed or realise that the other people at the table are [...]
Brian Townsend, on variance
Published on 2010-03-25 10:08:49
I think games with variance built into them are so much better than games with no variance modifier. In chess there is always an optimum move. In the same way poker has an optimum move or decision as well, but its often much much harder to see that or even think about that [...]
Daniel Negreanu, on Phil Ivey
Published on 2010-03-05 02:51:09
It’s my belief that Phil Ivey is the best poker player in the world, and that includes every format. I’ve played live with him, and cash, Hold’em, Stud, Omaha, whatever, and he is just the most consistently good player at everything – include online based on what his results look like. I don’t think anyone [...]
Tommy Angelo, on tilt
Published on 2010-03-04 08:46:11
Tilt has many causes and kinds, but it has only one effect. It makes us play bad. It makes us do things we wouldn’t do if we were at our very best. And that’s how I want to define it, exactly like that. Tilt is any deviation from your A-game and [...]
John Tabatabai, on online poker
Published on 2010-03-03 03:43:19
Without online poker, many of the new top players wouldn’t be able to compete with the old-school professionals. With online poker, it is possible to get years of playing experience in a few weeks. John Tabatabai – 03/2008 – in Card Player Europe
Hoyt Corkins, on live vs. online poker
Published on 2010-03-02 06:37:48
Of course experience helps and playing tons and tons of hands online helps, But the more you play live, the more you pick up on as well. That’s why so many of these big online guys have yet to have a big score live. A lot of it has to do with variance, but a [...]
Greg Raymer, on freedom
Published on 2010-02-19 02:26:39
Taking freedom away is not what America is all about. Poker is an intrinsic part of America’s soul. Poker is an American game. Poker was a vital part of the American frontier. [...] I love America. And I love to play poker. It is my version of the American dream. I have a simple message to [...]
Patrik Antonius, on Isildur1
Published on 2010-02-18 01:20:56
Isildur could easily have over $10 million now on Full Tilt if he had better game selection and if he didn’t play six, seven, or eight games at the same time against Phil Ivey and Durrrr. He’s a great player, but you need everything; you need money management. Patrik Antonius – 02/2010 – in CardPlayer
Nichoel Peppe, on online poker
Published on 2010-02-16 06:17:07
Online play always seemed to be a little bit out of my comfort zone. Online seems to be more about the statistics and math side of poker (which is a big part of the game but something I usually consider without really having to think about it). And with online gamers it is “positive ev” [...]
