Welcome!
Whether you play the game of life or poker, you know there are hard won lessons to be learned. And now you're ready to share your knowledge with the less fortunate. You're ready to uplift the losers -- umm, the lost. You're ready to buck-up the timid. You're ready to teach your fellow players that you're not merely taking their chips, you're sharing the wisdom they need on life's journey -- or at least the journey to the rail.
In other words, you're ready to proudly wear your "In Life As In Poker" t-shirt while sipping from your "In Life As In Poker" mug which you'll soon settle upon your "In Life As In Poker" coaster.
Because let's face it, at the poker table there are students and teachers, fish and sharks, donkeys and, well, non-donkeys. And you're a teacher/shark/non-donkey. You're not shy about it. And that's why you're eager to buy one of these wonderfully insightful shirts, mugs and stuff.
The same holds true for life. There are people who pass through this world oblivious to the what they need to know. It's like they ignored the user manual or something. But not you. You figured things out. You discovered the secrets. They were right there on a green felt table for 10 all the time.
This store is for you. We're an equal opportunity provider of poker stuff. We don't care if you're into Texas Hold 'Em or Seven Card Stud, Razz or Omaha. We don't even care if you use wild cards in your game. We just care that you wear t-shirts and use mugs and mouse pads and things like that.
We appreciate you're visiting our little corner of the poker world and we hope you'll help spread these nuggets of life and poker wisdom throughout the land -- or at least your immediate neighborhood. Because remember, no matter where you go, there you ... no, wait, that's not it. It's something about the joy of sharing knowledge. Or of wearing cool t-shirts. Anyway, please feel free to buy something here. Because in life as in poker, you've got to wear something.
Thank you.
...you can't win if you don't bet The only way to get more chips is to risk the ones you've got. That's the way poker works. Life too. Coincidence? |
... it's all about the odds It's one of the key lessons in poker -- and in life. Over time the odds win. You know it. And that's why you win more than your share. Ironic, isn't it? |
... any hand can win Smart players play the players. For them, 7-2 unsuited is just as good as pocket aces. Same with life. |

... it's good to have a big stack It's simple: the bigger the stack the better the chances of winning. We can all think of examples. Knock yourself out. |
... sometimes you have to go all in Sometimes you'll win. Sometimes you won't. But at some time this is what you've got to do. |
... aggression pays In poker, you're either pushed around or you're doing the pushing. In life ... well, you get the idea. |
|||
... patience pays Losers play every hand. You play the right ones. That's a lesson worth knowing in life and poker. |
|
... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good In poker the best players sometimes lose. In life the best people sometimes fail. Because the truth is, sometimes luck matters. |

... if you're not in the hand, shut up This one's more than just an important lesson -- it's a warning to the big mouth, know-it-all donkeys you encounter. At work. Around town. At the table. |
