quietly waiting with chips
asking to be called

no limit holdem is like getting in a gunfight where your weapons change shape every time you fire them - sometimes you're fighting rocket launchers with pop guns.

Losing is a lot like winning - only it's harder to stop.

I raise the river
I really hope you can call
