Of winning
That you need to know.
You must realize
Your probability

hi,
brief but packed full of meaning,i love the poker metaphor,i also agree with you entirely,you have said it so well.One of the best poems i`ve read on here or anywhere for quite some time.I agree with you regarding the importance of a really good title,neither of those would do this poem justice in my humble opinion,i`ll probably lie awake now and think of lots of suggestions so in the unlikely event of something apt springing to mind i`ll be sure to let you know
