Your girlfriend or wife reveals her emotions to you, and you unintentionally choose the most inflammatory response that was on your palate of responses.  When she stares off into the distance both angry and sad, your inner monologe tells you “nut-worst comment, man.”

You count your cash in Red Bulls, and when you have fewer than 20, you go to the ATM.

You’re at the bar and decide to talk to a chick you don’t expect to score with but she makes a move on you last minute and you get back to your friends with her number and tell them you sucked out.

As I sit in a meeting today I picked up 3 tells on coworkers (2 on the VP), only said “that seems standard” once. Made a move on the VP's knowledge when she seemed weak. (turns out I was right that, trusted the tells and she did not know the answer) and made a big lay down on an issue just to see my coworker take a bad beat. That's ok though he is a total fish in this meeting.

When you realize that going on a trip and having 5 guys stay in one room with 2 queen beds for 3 nights is standard.

When you're faced with a difficult decision of where to go for dinner and think to yourself, “hmm…tough spot”.

I use poker metaphors all the time at work (online ecig retailer).  Over the past couple of years there has been a “boom” in our industry causing numerous new small businesses to pop up.  As the marketing director in control of pricing strategy at a company that has the size and efficiencies in place that allow us to undercut prices of many of the smaller companies I call this “putting pressure on the short stacks”

When I put together a campaign that returns great revenue I'll say “ship it” or that we got “max value”

When a new product is developed that we are unsure about the potential we often “buy in short” to test the waters

We get “wamboozled” by our chinese suppliers regularly

I'm sure there are more, but that's all I've got for now.

I'm the treasurer of my HOA. We had to raise the contribution to our reserve in one of two ways:

 

a) 40% one year, 3% annual increases thereafter

b) 6% annual increases every year

 

I took a) even though the EV was the same (this was a 30- or 40-year outlook) because my ability to be the treasurer can only go down over time. Nobody wants to be on the board now, but someday there could be more demand to be on the board. Better to take the risky play when less HOA EV is at stake.
