Gamnesia
There's agame played among sorne smug inteUectuals where you add, subtract, or change one letter of an existing word with an eye toward creating a whole new word with a whole new meaning. Examples inc1ude glibido, aU talk and no action, and osteopornosis, a degenerate disease. This game is, of course, a divertissement for people with far too much time on their hands, plus the inflated sense of self-importance that cornes from knowing what words like divertissement mean.
Being a pers on with far too much time on his hands, 1 now offer these additions, subtractions, and alterations of the poker lexicon (or flexicon, as it were; a more liberal dictionary):

my keen judgment in poker

1'11 look you squarely in the eye and answer, "It depends."
Depends on who's a c1ever git,
or with the deck's been getting hit, or who'11 play any piece of(Don't use that word; it offends. Let's just say it a11 depends.)
A check-rai se on the turn, you want to know what that
portends.
Is the raiser's rai se legit or could it be he just pretends? You wait for my reply, and how Y0uf disbelief suspends. 1'11 look you squarely in the eye and answer, "It depends."
So if you want sorne confirmation
that Y0uf recent devastation
was just normal fluctuation,
(not sorne self-induced damnation) 1 can feel Y0uf consternation,
but 1 fight against temptation
to provide you with salvation. Though 1 want Y0uf admiration

for 1 can't give affirmation
to Y0uf certain situation
without better information, fo11owed by sorne cogitation
and sorne subtle ca1culation
not to mention computation
to the point of constipation.
And now with no more hesitation 1'11 complete Y0uf education
