Depends on the cards you draw. Sometimes you count the cards, get a good wager on the odds, and, with a skosh of luck: plop down a full house, with a white picket fence, and win a hand... with enough in your pocket to comfortably buy into the next round.
Other times, you're on your last little nest egg, and the hand is a fold... but you don't have enough to buy in... so you bet the farm, because in the game of life: the option to 'just not play' is, ahahah, suicidal.
Some of us are quite well enough in our minds to up'n shank the right blighter what takes our last tuppence.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
