Go for the straight flush

You don’t get a chance for a straight flush all of the time. “One card for me,” you say as you deal out the replacements.

Claire looks at her new cards. “Bah,” she says with frustration. “Lousy cards. All I have is a pair of twos.”

“The cards are lucky to me,” Lin replies. “I’ve got three queens.”

You flip over your card and are disappointed to find that not only is it not a spade, but it doesn’t give you either a pair of a straight. “You’re right, Claire. These are lousy cards.”

“About time you lost,” Claire says. “It looked like you were overdressed around here.”

You pull your shirt up over your head and toss it in a pile next to you. “Is this better?” you ask.

“Not really. You still seem overdressed. But we’ll take care of that next hand.”
