Yeah the battleship analogy is the best. The only thing is that you can still lose playing poker even if you make the correct play after seeing your opponents hole cards. In battleship, once you know where their ships are, you're guaranteed victory.

No analogy can be perfect though, and this is by far the best I've heard yet.

Well, over the course of the game your opponent can still sink some of your ships, just like other players could beat DoubleDrag in individual hands. But in the longrun, you will win Battleship, just like DD will win at poker.
