The Tendency Towards Risk-Taking Is In Our DNA

Migratory Syndrome
by Rachel Hoyt



I would bet,
could bet,
every day.

I won't keep,
can't keep,
dreams at bay.

I bet steep
to reap -
make life pay. 

I won't fret.
It's set.
I must play.

I learned about "American DNA" when I read Cowboys Full
and believe risk taking is an important tool.
I play poker for many reasons beyond feeling cool.


I recently launched RachelHoyt.com to share my poker stories
and published this list of historic tales which deserved further glory.
