Poker simulates life

I play a lot of poker on Facebook.. Zynga... Texas Hold 'em... If you've never done it, you should try.

I play quite a bit and I'm pretty damn good at it. If you play, and participate in the shootout tournaments, chances are that you have squared off against me and didn't even know that you were in a chat convo with me...hahaha

But back to the point.... there are times when its down to just two of us and it's pretty even... my opponent goes all in and on the table is 10 J Q all spades. I'm holding 9 spade and K heart..

I have the K straight. The turn and the river are still to come. I still have a good chance of pulling off the flush...unless he is holding the A of spades and even worse, the A K of spades... that is instant death. He could also just have 2 pair or even trips...possibly the same straight that I have.. he's been betting heavy on 2 pair all game.

Do I call and end the game one way or the other.... or fold it. My chances are pretty good, but they could also be pretty bad depending on what the other guy is holding....

Call or fold.......call or fold

and yes, this is a screwed up metaphor for my situation
