Because with experience you realise

The setting plays a role – be it the room, table, players, or small talk

It hits you – like a curveball that turns

What stays aware and engaged is always the mind

You are the actual game!

The props – your mind inside out

Those who laugh and cry do not know what the person knows

Seek the company of such who do not seek one

The poker faced poker player.

Sometimes it is best to pick one side Knowing when is even more ...
