Why I'm bad at poker

You bet early

and I knew

you got dealt 

something good.

I had a two of spades 

and a five of diamonds

but I called anyway.

When that ace came up

I knew

you would bet high;

but a six of clubs

and a three of hearts 

came up too

and I called 

before I could convince

myself not to.

A queen

came on the turn.

No help

to no-one,

but that didn't stop you from

going all-in.

I knew you would

and I knew I

shouldn't

but sometimes

you've got to believe

in something more

than blind luck.
