Wll, it would be a great poker analogy ... except that this is a pretty stupid way to play poker.
Have you ever considered applying for Trichet's job?
Poker's probably too complicated for Jean-Claude Anne Marie Louis; I'd suggest Spoof as an alternative.
I understand that "[J-C. A. M. L.] Trichet learned how to juggle the romance of poetry and the cold facts of mathematics from his father, Jean, a professor of Greek and Latin literature."
I can't help you with romance, cold facts, or indeed Latin beyond a mediocre O-Level, but I'm sure as hell behind you with my expert knowledge of Greek literature. Hubris, nemesis, catharsis -- yes, I've got all of that. I can even write a banner out to hang over the Acropolis.
Let's do this! The world needs crazed and disappointed 40+ year olds who can Divine the Auguries (organic and kosher only, please. I have no desire to be assassinated by a Green or a Khomeneiad).

Middle of 2011. Euro dead. My final offer.
