Going out to play in a poker league tonight. Wish me good hands....
If you fall too far behind, just call some "3-card gut" when it's your deal. You'll either make it all back very quickly, or you'll go home broke and destitute, and forced to turn to a life of drugs and crime, eventually living off the land in the northern woods of Wisconsin and foraging for nuts and berries.
Just don't call that "Indian" game (where you put the card on your forehead, for all of the other players to see but you can't), or you'll look like a noob.
