Isn't there a song about life being a poker game? You gotta know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table; there'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. You could be thinking about that song! Kenny Rogers: The Gambler. It's the only one that came to my mind immediately.
