Three things you thought you knew about poker
Although it is probably accurate to say that poker is a minority pursuit - let’s face it, unless you are a poker shark who moves among other players, there’s probably one or fewer regular players in your circle of friends - it’s still a subject you hear a lot about. Indeed, it’s become something of a cultural signifier. We talk about “keeping our cards close to our chests”, “keeping a good poker face”, and “cashing in” when discussing topics that have nothing at all to do with poker, and there have been songs and movies written about the subject too.
