In order to suffice

In order to suffice,
You must have measured wants.
Know the waits, and their price.
Know the ways of the hunts,
Know the prey and its haunts,
Know your game by its rules.
Know the faint by their praise,
- Be the bravest of fools.
Knowing full well what hand
You have drawn, and will flush
Busted straight to full house,
Burning down in a rush.
Once you've once lost it all,
Only then do you bluff.
Only there, far below
- Will you see what's enough.
