There is something about the card game playing fantasy that people deeply connect with. Sitting at a green felt table staking you against the rest of the table, which feels like the world, is a feeling that most people can relate with. People like to make comparisons to playing five card stud, because the game mirrors so much in life. Games like five card stud and Texas hold 'em deal with risk, bravery, deception, and luck. It could be that bluffing is one of the most used metaphors because it is applicable to a myriad of situations in life. Bluffing is putting yourself and your word on the line.
A great deal of card game metaphors are direct connections between the game and being in love. There are elaborate phrases that are constructed to make people acknowledge that love is a big game with winners and losers. There are numerous circumstances that require a person to rely on luck to deal with risk. Everyone, at some point in their love life, bets big on a hand that has less than a ten percent chance hoping that the river card will turn their situation around. Both love and wagering card games are risky. When you are in love you put your heart on the line and you risk it getting broken, but with card games you put your money on the table and run the risk of ending up broke. Love deals with risk, lies, bravery, and luck just like wagering on card games. Relationships require the same amount of strategy as a card game. You have to consider the other players and possible outcomes and possibilities.
