Poker Quotations

I got a full house and four people died. Steven Wright I could think of worse ways of going than at the poker table. Al Alvarez When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot. Drew Carey If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world.
