Starts off well...

Larry had been kind enough to explain the rules to her, she thanked her lucky stars he was being kind. She initially cashed into the game with $50. It was the most she felt comfortable losing if she was horrible, and plus she had more money in her purse for rent. But the first hand came out and she won!

Penny squealed in excitement as she won her first hand, and her pile of money grew bigger. The next hand came and she won again! Penny started to get really excited as luck seemed to be on her side, no matter which hand she hand, and whether it was good or bad she always came on top.

'I can't believe my luck! I should gone to casinos more often!' Penny thought to herself as she won another hand. Soon she had around $200, if she were thinking logically she soul've bowed out by now, but she was hooked on this game and wanted to continue playing. Unfortunately she was too caught up on her winnings she didn't notice to glance Larry made to his friends before dealing the next hand of cards.

The next hand were dealt and she had a pair of 6's. She smiled to herself as she knew a pair was always good, so she bet big. When it was time to reveal she had a giant smile as she showed her hand. Before she could reach over and grab it she saw one of them show a hand of pair of kings. Penny's heart dropped as she realized she lost, and she saw the pot go further away from here.

'Its okay, I was bound to lose eventually, but I still got it!' She thought confidently to herself.

The next hand came and she saw she had a 2 and a 6, not good. Still believing that maybe she'll still get lucky she continued to match bets. However at the end she didn't even come close to winning and watched more of her money being taken away.

Penny bit her lip, she still made more money than what she came in with, she could back out now. But as she had to admit playing poker and winning was very fun, and as she glanced at the clock and saw she still had a while before her shift ended, she figured playing more wouldn't hurt.

It did hurt, very much. Penny learned the hard way that the house always win. Any good luck she had was gone as with each hand her hand got worse and worse, and whenever she thought she was about to win, whether it was with a full house or three of a kind Larry always had a better hand. But the thrill to win was still there so when she eventually ran out of money she reached in her purse and threw her rent money in as well. To her horror that still didn't stop the losing, and some point she was still in the game to recoup her lost money, but as the final card turned over she groaned as she lost another hand.

"Okay one more hand! Deal me in!" She spoke up as the deck was being shuffled.

"Sorry Penny, but you're out of money." Larry told her while shuffling.

Confused, Penny glanced down and her jaw drop as she realized she had no money left! She started to breath harder as she realized what she just did, she just lost her entire rent money for the month! She wasn't going to get paid for a few weeks, she was screwed.

"Please! One more hand, you have to let me win back my rent money! I'll be kicked out of my apartment if I can't pay this months rent!" She pleaded, hoping they would give her mercy.
