I'm quite a fan of some kinetic typography projects, but I must admit I found the animation style rather uninspired in this one, and probably the piece was a tad long for this purpose too.

Nonetheless, hats off to you for the great poem!
BW fighting!

Poker tournaments usually have a gradation of payouts for the top 10% or so. The bubble is when the tournament approaches this mark; many play conservatively in order to survive to the minimum cash, while others take advantage and play aggressively to accumulate chips. Jackie got screwed in the seating - position is very important, moreso with deeper stacks - and failed to adjust correctly.

I love kinetic typography and I enjoyed watching this my only issue was actually the font - I think its great to stick to the same font but use different variations from time to time - I felt a bit bored at some point. Otherwise , great work, I can only wish to be able to do smth like that on my own.

Great job, was just a bit confused at the end, how it ended i mean.

But was fun to watch.
