Texas Hold Em by Michael Godard is full of symbolism representing different terms used in poker. The term 'River' refers to the final fifth card to be dealt to the players, illustrated by the flowing blue river; the 'royal flush' shown by the toilet; a 'suit of card' represented by the blue suit; 'folding' represented by folded paper. The 'blind', is the bet that must be made by the two players sitting directly to the dealer's left which will start the action on the first round of betting. This term is in the image is symbolized by the blind heart wearing sunglasses. High stakes correspond with red beef steaks in the image. Here are some others: 'Hole card'= card with a hole; 'Face card'=with smiley face, to call a bet= telephone, to bust= bust statue, to Cut=band-aid, the 'antee'= ant, to check= diamond with a check flag; 'Full boat or house' = boat in the martini glass. What a great poker piece.
