Since it cost a lot to win and even more to lose - Deal

I'd shown my cards too early. I had a decision to make. Fold or bet it all. I was torn, not wanting either. Just not ready, not ready, not ready. I can't decide and there you sit holding more cards. You've been so careful not to show them. I was going to do it and I prepared myself to fold. It was my best, my safest, my only choice. I took a deep breath and then it hit me. I can hold. I choose to hold.
