QUOTES INCLUDING "THE AMATEUR'S MIND"
COLUMN FROM BLUFF MAGAZINE
Those who don't play hold'em are not aware of how much skill is involved; and those who do play forget how much luck is involved.

Think of jacks as colorful elevens.

The two best hole cards are the ones you never have to show.

You cannot play without fear in multi-table tournaments until you realize you have already lost.

When the number of players in a tournament is high enough, luck runs all over skill...skill is just the price of admission.

Why is it correct pre-flop to raise three or four times the big blind, but a post-flop bet of only one and a half times the size of the pot is an ‘overbet’?

Quantum mechanics reminds us that any given hand is ruled by probability and not predictability. This means that an unlikely series of outcomes can prevail over any set period of time.
