I was talking with a friend recently and had poker on the brain like I do most of the time.   He was a bit down on his luck and feeling down in the dumps.   Talking about dark things that people do when they are very depressed.

I told him,  son, you've only seen the flop.  You still have the turn and the river to make your hand.  You ain't drawing dead yet.   You've still got a chip and a chair.

This really pepped him up some, and I thought, that is a good metaphor for life.  It's a poker game and we're all doing the best we can, and putting all our chips in, until we bust out or take the whole thing down.

So I continued,  you didn't hit your hand on the flop,  but you've got a decent draw and you never know... you might end up catching the nuts on the river.    Don't fold now, before you've had a chance to see what card are left to be played.

I'm sure I said some more stuff I can't remember but it seemed like it really helped.   Thank you poker.  :D

What do you all think about this?   Apt metaphor?  Or complete hogwash?   The world wants to know!
