I'm incapable of playing poker for the same reason Harry Potter is so bad at occlumency (look it up): my emotions ride too close to the surface and I can't bluff. Perhaps that's one reason my forays into electoral politics were failures.
But that's not Mamet's broader point:
In politics as in poker, the only way to win is to seize the initiative. The Democrats need to make bold wagers or risk being rolled over again.
