I'm in the big blind   With an average stack and an aggressive image   The four seat limps right after me never a good sign   He's been beating up the table showing down strong cards all night   The maniac in the nine throws in another raise he loves to raise   Confusing foolishness for courage and swinging on a vine   I peek at my cards (3 Diamonds, 2 Diamonds)   And decide that I'm gonna defend the four seat does the same      And we all buckle in for our favorite ride      (flop: J Clubs, 2 Spades, 8 Hearts)      I'm the first to act and bet the pot hoping to win it right then and there   But the 4 seat calls and the maniac folds   And I'm out of position with a lowly pair of two's   The dealer burns and turns   It is in this half second where life becomes perfect   The mind a weapon   Tommorow's worries and yesterdays mistakes they crumble and fall away   For now I'm on the wire      (turn: 3 Hearts)      I check, the four bets   The strap snaps shut as I push my whole stack into the middle   He shakes his head to let me know   He doesn't have those dreaded pocket 8s   And sighs, "I have to call"   (Seat four shows: K Hearts, J Hearts)      The river comes taht sexy, sexy Ace of spades   And all is well in the world   Now you wanna take a good man down?   Send him back to his wallet to steam off another 500?   Well you just wink and show him threes up
