after the flop you get a snapshot and clearer idea of the circumstances. while pre-flop might lull you into the false belief that it could be the right decision to go in and call any raises, with the flop you can now be slightly clearer in your decision making and there is time to pull out, likened to being offered a job in the manufactoring industry which isnt banking like you expected as opposed to being offered a job although in both cases it may come to nothing just like a flush and straight draw at the start. you can choose to fold and not accept or call by taking on what that job offers. you do not know what position yet but hey its worth a shot and in the end it may turn out well.

by the turn, if you have not been foolish enough to dive in and accept the job before knowing the true nature of it likened to calling for an all in either pre or post flop, you will now know that you are being offered the position of either engineer or technician subject to an interview. it could go both ways, much like dubs or a possible fullhouse.

if you are still playing at the river, the cards have all been laid out. you know the only thing that can win your nut flush is the full house. you decide that theres little chance you will get the technician job and its likely the engineer position is yours. you go for the interview and go all in and as life would have it, the opponent calls and you lose to the full house. you settle for technician.

but life isnt over so long as you do not give up. you decide to buyin again and get another shot at life. you make new decisions and attempts at other jobs. perhaps this time, it will work out

this post represents either of these 2 things.

1) i really need help and gamblers anonymous awaits me

or

2) i am dam bloody good at these analogies

i like to think its the latter. dont worry mummy i was really kidding about the gamblers anonymous. please dont overreact

and life presents itselves in so many interesting ways. i was certain my dubs were gonna get raped by the possible flush but i still went all in. i may have lost but i am going to buy in again and get another shot,hopefully a different table this time
