Chris Moneymaker Quotes

The beautiful thing about poker is that everybody thinks they can play.

When I was broke, no one ever offered to buy me a beer. Now that I have quite a bit of money, everybody tries to buy me beers. Where were all these people back when I was in college and broke?

Poker is meant to be enjoyed.

I don't like the way I ever appear on TV.

World Class players can lay down the toughest hands and play any two cards at any time without fear. Their reads are impeccable.

I always pretend like I'm nervous no matter what. I try to fall asleep.

Other than that and the fact that I don't have to work any more my life hasn't changed a bit.

But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.
