Poker Face

I don’t play poker for a couple of reasons — one I suck at it and two I just don’t have a poker face.

I can’t fool anyone with my face. There is always a tell. A slight twitch of the mouth, a movement of the eye, a sip of water — always a slip.

To the well trained eye, these tells show up like soy sauce stains on a white jacket. You can try as much as you want to get rid of that stain but it will remain — forever.

So for the same reason that I don’t play poker, I don’t bluff and I don’t give ultimatums.

I do what I say I will — and have.

Carry on.
