Poker
That night you came
limping in
I put on my poker face
I never tell
when stakes are high
I like slow play
The deal is made
you push the button
put me under the gun
Be careful I say
wet boards
are a slippery slope
I always keep
an ace up my sleeve
I am in position
Let's go to the river
I lean back and let you
go all in
I match your bet
We show our cards
and I climax into
a straight flush
Calling your bluff
I hit you with a gut shot
You wrap it up and limp out
the back door
You've always been a maniac

I always keep

Calling your bluff
I hit you with a gut shot
You wrap it up and limp out

You've always been a maniac

I quite like the idea of using Poker as a metaphore in this category.
I think you served it well too

The terminology lends itself for it...actually for life in general.
Thanx for the appreciation.

Of course, man. It's very well,that you do write about such tournaments,but there is a problem.Not everyone can come to this ivents,cause of time,distance,money and other reasons. Do you think that, it's much more better to do this tournaments in real life?? Will you do such ivents in the internet? May be at the web-sites like 99poker.id or another ones? If it is true,then let me know,because I will be very glad to play with somebody,but I haven't a possibility to come to your tournament.
