Playing My Game

Sitting,lights down,the first hand dealt
  how many can you put under your belt
    some faces blank,others joke on
      one by one,hopefully,`til they gone.     

  Your hand is strong,you put on a face
              can any others suss out or trace?
               or the long game and just sit back 
                      or play with force,and win out the stack.

            Heads up it is,just him and you
                tactical hands may see you through
                  a flush you do have,this could be a choker
                   all in,he calls my game, shake hands, thats poker.
