It's nicely captured motion blur, but ultimately the picture doesn't offer too much. It's too simple. Maybe if we had some chips, a beer, cigar, or some thing else for us to wander over with our eyes.
Edit to say I PROMISE I didn't read the comment below. It's just funny that we listed chips, a beverage, and a cigar in the same order.

---Greetings from the Critique Club!---
First impression - Looks like it was shot on the floor.
This is a good idea that needed better execution. Had you set up the shot on a card table with some chips, drinks, ash trays with cigars, etc, this would have scored much higher IMO.
Picture this with the green felt of the table, a stack or 2 of chips and pile of chips in the middle, some smoke wafting through the air . . .
I can see a lot of potential with this idea.
Technically the shot is very strong. Nice motion blur and sharpness in the non-moving elements. Angle is good, so is the lighting.
All that is needed here is a little more time to set up the shot.
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

| I'm generally not a fan of the poker shots, but I like this as a motion concept. |

This is a lovely shot. The sense of the face-down cards being dealt across the table is very strong. Just the right amount of blur.
But the first thought that sprang to my mind was "why would cards be getting dealt out when someone is already showing a full-house?" |

| Nice story and good idea. Effects a picture of motion very well. I expect better lighting might have made the subject pop a little. |

| Would have preferred a table rather than the floor, good idea though. |
