The Dupe

poker face
covering a bluff
the all-in bet

intensity
building
under breath

random hit of
chance and skill
cuts her losses
from her wins

The first line lets me out. I cannot hide my feelings. They prance around in front of me like an inverted mask. Good luck in the contest.

I would imagine you have no poker face whatsoever, Caren. LOL
