What’s your Poker Personality?

I had a poker party at my place last Saturday with 4 other girls. Put in 5 girls into a game of gambling and you can reckon they will be an interesting set of personalities. Note: We did not gamble, it was just in the name of fun, with fake chips.

Before I get into my analysis of these girl's personalities, I just want to let you know that the names are made up. If you girls are reading this and you realize who you are, reveal yourself with caution.

Here is my analysis. It is divided into three sections, pre-game, game and analysis. Pre-game consists of my perception of her personality before the game, game consists of my perception of her personality during the game, and analysis, well, consists of analysis of both perceptions

Girl No 1 (Babe):
Pre-game: Babe is intelligent, confident, and is an observer. She likes to process things and make decisions. She needs to know the facts and needs to analyze the facts before making the decisions.
Game: Babe was cautious. She didn't take many changes. She could not manipulate or bluff her way into winning.
Analysis: Babe couldn't bring herself to bluff; she would only play if she knew she had a good hand. Manipulation, you can forget it. The word didn’t exist in her dictionary. Babe needs to step out of her box and take some risks.

Girl No 2 (Love):
Pre-game: Love is an extravert. She thrives on action. Love loves competition. She wants to be the winner. There is no room for failure in her dictionary. She has to be better than anyone else
Game: Love was impressive. She fought hard. She took some risks there for the purpose of winning.
Analysis: Love has a Poker Personality, the almost bluffer. You could tell Love had a good hand, it’s in her face. Love needs to also become an observer if she wants to win the game.

Girl No 3 (Truth):
Pre-game: Truth is friendly, obsessive, and a curious person. She, like babe, needs to process things to make decisions
Game: Truth couldn't keep it to herself. (You must have guessed it by the name I have chosen for her) She announced that she had a good/bad game just as the cards were dealt. By the end of the game she took some chances but with uneasiness
Analysis: I am proud of Truth. She fought very hard to break out of her true personality and form a poker personality. Truth still needs to learn not to feel guilty about taking chances.

Girl No 4 (Sweetie):
Pre-game: Sweetie is emotional, friendly and loves company. She is a people's person. She thinks through her emotions.
Game: Sweetie learned the game quickly; she learned to take some risks and had fun with different strategies of manipulations to win the game. She had a good poker face
Analysis: Sweetie was the most surprising. I did not expect her to take risks. She won quiet a few games. She enjoyed herself. Sweetie completely changed her personality to fit the poker game. She should be called the chameleon.

Girl No 5 (ME):
Pre-game: Perfection
Game: Poker-Perfection
Analysis: I am so damn perfect!!!!
-Sorry didn’t feel like analyzing me...

Is personality constant that in any situation who you are will stay the same? Do you have control to change your personality from situation to situation, group to group and time to time? Can't personalities change like a chameleon changes its colors? I think we can and we should. I would be bored with myself if I am the same in no matter what situation. I think we need to constantly reinvent ourselves depending on our surroundings.

Warning: Gambling could be injurious to your financial health and should not be taken lightly. Play poker in the name of fun and not in the name of gambling. Peace.
