The correct answer is "To play poker".

Explanation:

In Colin Linden's "Lucky Charm", the speaker starts his story by telling how his father "Little Willie" took him to Black-eyed Pete's "Emporium" on the day he turned seven. At the Emporium the young boy could hear how teenagers were playing pool games and on pinball machines, however his father went there to play illegal backroom poker games. The fact that Willie went to the Emporium to play poker games in a city where gambling is legal, tells about how Willie was obsessed with playing poker.

from the political point of view it could be said that the candidate   is an effective speaker because she takes a strong position on the issue. it is an open discussion but probably she is making a presentation and can choose which subjects she wants to address. she is very likely to attain her aim which is to convince voters to accept her proposal.
