i’ve played this game

i’ve played this game before
i’ve given up my cards
in hopes for a better hand
and then lost
the risk of giving up my hand
is sometimes so great
that i may not have the courage
to change
but then i regret
not picking the new cards
for the actually were
the better hand
how do i know when to choose

i play the game
the cards are dealt
should i take a better hand
