Sometimes you gotta go all in

I played in a poker tournament today, and I kept busy during the lulls be mindscaping paralells between poker and business. Sure, Kenny Rogers got it right with your gotta know when to hold em – know when to fold em song, but you also gotta know when to go all in. Economic indicators are trending towards the end of the recession, so today, we hired a new person and invested into a new biz pitch. Right thing to do? Not sure until I see where the pot gets pushed, but I feel like I got a pretty good read, and sometimes, you just have to go with your instincts.
