@Frank Apisa,

There are no mixed metaphors, Frank, not a one. I thought you said you were top of the class in English.

Two or three other people chimed in at that point: “Ed, will you do it?”
There are moments in life when you fold your cards and push back from the table, and moments when you double down. That, for me, was one of those moments.
you fold your cards
Instead of continuing to play a bad card hand you place all your cards face down,
push back from the table
Tell everyone that you are out of the hand or the whole game.
and moments when you double down.
Quote:In blackjack, it is the players option to double their original bet in exchange for receiving only one more card. To do this the player turns over their first two cards and places an equal bet alongside the original bet.
In this sense it means stay in the card game and bet to win or bluff other players.
