For someone who only has a vague idea of what is involved with playing poker, you brought the game to life. High stakes drama, indeed.
Funnily enough, this brought to mind some of my adrenaline junky friends. Same sort of compulsive drive. I know. I've been there. I remember a helicopter pilot who ferried skiers to the steeps and deep, and who was also a guide in Alaska, saying that he was getting out because you can only play the odds for so long before the mountain eats you -- one way or the other.
