    Musk is sitting across from you at the poker table. Two of the other four players are playing like they do when they have a good hand. You know them, so you’re certain how they will play. Only you know that you also have a very decent hand. Three out of four are ready to bet hard on their hand. The fourth has a very slim chance of also having a good hand. You know a little about him, mostly that he’s a blowhard douche with a God complex. Suddenly, he goes all in and says, “I wouldn’t mess with me because I’ll destroy you.” You know instantly that he is holding garbage. You look at the other two players and immediately realize that they are thinking the same thing. You look back at Musk and can see that he thinks his bluff is working. He has a grin a bit too wide and his eyes are darting around as he chuckles a bit too much. You immediately push your pile gently towards the pot. You look at the other two and they both think about it for a second before folding. They know how you play and realize they can’t all win. You look back at Musk and wait for his move. He blinks rapidly as his grin turns down. You can see he is trying to understand his predicament and failing. He is in a position that is new to him. He is losing everything and can’t grasp the reality. The game is over for him.
