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.

…you turn into the most miserable hideous bastard seething with rage…breaking furniture…smashing monitors…holes in walls…wanting to kill every mutha with a general purpose machine gun before setting fire to the local library…go to shop some idiot says hi you want to brain this fool…silently curse out the local nuns as they walk serenely by…see a cat make sure nobody is looking and shoot it with your .45…all after one beat too many. Or is that just me?
