The Emotional Hook (Focused on the face-to-face experience)

[dariana Orasma]

The next time you have a handful of chips in your hand, take a good look. You're not holding colorful plastic; you're holding the silence of the table, the furtive glances of your opponents, and that little voice in your head that says, "Okay, now's the time."

Live poker is the only sport where silence can break you and a single look can betray you. It's not the card you were dealt; it's the story you choose to tell with it.

The next time you have a handful of chips in your hand, take a good look. You're not holding colorful plastic; you're holding the silence of the table, the furtive glances of your opponents, and that little voice in your head that says, "Okay, now's the time."

Live poker is the only sport where silence can break you and a single look can betray you. It's not the card you were dealt; it's the story you choose to tell with it.

That is beautiful...you are quite the poetess.
