Analysis of glamber's game



Trotting around the table
looking for the big hand
she strikes a good hand but not enough.
As a camel thirsts for water, she thirsts for the biggest hand - the Royal flash
She sets out her biggest quest
Gazing at the dealer, intently …
When the dealer hands her out the cards
her heart sinks
She dealt all of herself (all in) for a painful stake
She  is pregnant
When she approaches the dealer to reveal and plea the news
She is hit with a resounding – “Every gambler knows the secret to survival. ..So trot off my dear”
