"In the long run there's no luck in poker, but the short run is longer than most people know."
- This is a very significant quote, that accurately explains a player's experiences at a poker table. Some things will happen in the short term, like losing a hand that they were highly favored in. This is known as a "suck out" and can set players off on "tilt". Poker players have to keep their composure and realize that unlucky things can happen in the short term, but by getting your money in while you are ahead, you will make money in the long run. Bad players don't realize that when they win hands in a "suck out" this isn't going to happen consistently over time. Good players make money in the long run by not making a lot of mistakes.
