You’re Not the Perfect Hand, but I Don’t Hit on 19

A few days ago, I got my hands on the John Mayer Trio’s new album. It’s fabulous. However, in his song “Another Kind of Green,” Mr. Mayer sings the above lyric.

And it got me thinking…is that idea really accurate? Is it true you find a hand you can settle for and then hope the house doesn’t win? Just get close enough to the right guy and that’s good enough?

That sounds so unromantic…
