Poll question: I life were a poker game what hand can you live with being dealt?
If life was a poker game and you had to rate what type of life you could live with an be happy, where would it rank?

High card = meager existence (food, shelter, basic necessities to sustain life)

Straight Flush = the life of a king (think Bill Gates, Michael Dell, George Soros)

Middle of the road = Three of a Kind or Straight


Now what kind of life would you LIKE to have?

1. I voted wrong on my own damn poll....
I could live with a Straight level hand life.
I would be perfectly content with a Full House level life.

I want to be somewhere in between Three of a Kind and Straight Flush.

2. Can't vote because I know how to play poker
the hand you are dealt is just one factor.

5. To me the most fun you can have in poker
is having nothing in your hand and bluffing your way to a win... and that's what I'm trying to do in life as well. So I guess I'll vote high card.

4. I'm not greedy. I don't need much.
I don't need to be fabulously wealthy, but I want enough to have a nice life, and not want for much.

6. I was a royal flush handed to people ....
who didn't know how to play cards. They unknowingly whittled away the cards and eventually it ended up as a three of a kind. Maybe 3- 4's. Sounds about right.
