Four to a Flush

R.M. Dolin, 2013

Everyone can be read but what makes
a gambler great is pushing people
with chips and conquering them with bluffs.
Chasing cards is like hunting pheasants with
a pistol; the likelihood events unfold as
planned is improbable.  With four to a flush,
the odds of success are limited. 
The essence of you lies in the level 
of knowing that and choosing to push,
bluff, or walk away.
Only a fool moves all in believing
he’ll catch his card.
