swing a dead cat

Silly way of relating the quantity or frequency of something in terms of whether you would hit one if you swung a dead cat.

all-in

In no-limit poker, to bet all of your chips as a sign of total confidence in your hand.

If you have a very good hand, go all-in to win the maximum number of chips or to scare off mediocre hands so they won't catch the cards they need to beat yours. If you have a bad hand, you can bluff by going all-in and hope everyone folds.

I went all-in on thirty miles and that river rat caught a runner-runner flush.
