I've been playing close to the basket all my life.
My dad used to say it when he was playing his cards close to the chest.
You're just playing all the details close to your chest, like always.
And the people on that Japanese island always seemed to me to be playing it pretty close to the chest.
"People are still playing things close to the vest, but it is difficult to be short here and make any money."
"Late in the game we play close to the foul lines."
But if you're in this business, you play everything close to the vest.
For the time being he was going to play this one very close to his chest.
After all, he played it a bit close to the edge himself sometimes.
He usually played a large number of games in these team events, close to the maximum.
