52 ON THE TABLE
Some connected guys needed honest skills to splay some cards in a sketchy sorta town. This Filipino cat caught that news , he threw my name around ,picture your first guess, head bowed, neck bent, the inveigled lean those heavy carats dressed , he knew where and how , he knew that he knew the best, his darted whispers sipped some juice and hit dead center direct.
Gathered thought , wonders and risk, fixation fidgets the audition
. These two huge men Guido and Johnny, were charged with the new addition, need figuratively to literally find a profitable Acquisition . All this I knew while knowing they knew NONE. A Pat hand I held with the nuts , and gripped securely as I stand and quickly, in ten seconds, I had earned their trust. With the room in my command, Before the thrust of wishes bust with those two big men, Guido and Johnny I shared the plan. Look , Take the best you hoped , multiply that by ten, and know my eyes say I won’t scare, in this world of Poker, if I may declare, I decide who’s given quarter ,and I decide when there’s none to Spare. Time to cut the deck, Seemlessly smooth the button moved from spot to spot, , the table called the ante and the button called the Pot. Play, now moved at a quicker pace, gently we nudged each tortoise from the game. More cards were slid and more hands bid the sharper our protocols became .The rake and take were nearly doubled and the HOUSE now surely knows MY Name.

Birthday at a casino? Winner take all!
Dig that! Twas an illegal Chicago style game that had that edge
No Joker in the 52 pack?
I played Russian Roulette but got it the wrong way round. I put bullets in all but one of the chambers. Doh! lol.
The jokers are pulled and we play the 13 x 4 w furious zeal and money flies. I’m too old to run that hard now but there was that day!!
so what's the big deal he asked .. a billion dollars they replied .. I'm out she said .. whose in .... Neville 🎷
There’s indescribable lessons when egos sit and are sure they belong and many moments taught me a balance that steers me. Every life’s metaphor is displayed.
This is a wonderful description of a memorable card game.It builds the tension very well.I'm sure they know your name.Enjoyed reading.Viva LasVegas
Had that job for a year. Halcyon days and dazed
