POKER HAIKU #13


I'll wear sunglasses--
Whenever I play poker
In the bright sunshine.

MARKET FORCES


What a commercial for pokerstars! Its amazing. What's going on? Everyone I know already plays, almost without exception, everyone. The sort of hands they set up to drag people to their site--who are they targeting? How many people do they hope to snag with that rotten mental bait?
I tell you that marketing works. Just look at the phrases "life insurance" and "health insurance". Nobody can insure your life or health. They can insure your car or house, but it sort of stops there. So what is life insurance, really--since it doesn't really insure anything?
Whatever it is, it shares its main component with poker. Risk assessment. But poker is more honest.
