Quote by Paul Newman

If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.

If you're playing a poker game and you look around the table

Summary

This quote suggests that if you cannot identify the person being taken advantage of or manipulated in a situation, then more often than not, you are the one being played. In the context of a poker game, it implies that if you cannot spot the weakest player at the table, who is likely to lose money, then it is highly likely that you are the one who lacks the necessary skills or knowledge to succeed. Therefore, it serves as a warning to be self-aware and discerning, ensuring that one does not fall into a position of naivety or being taken advantage of.
