Evelyn: May I join you gentlemen? Dusty: Me and the boys're havin' a pretty cutthroat game o' poker... General: C'mon, Dusty, we'll teach her. Professor: Here, Evelyn.. you deal the cards. Evelyn: This makes me nervous. General: Just shuffle and deal them. Evelyn: Well... okay. All right, gentlemen, the game is seven-card stud. Dollar in. Dueces and one-eyed jacks are wild. High spade splits the pot. What?
Heh. My uncle did this for real – well, the shuffle and deal part at least. He was bedridden for close to a year, and had nothing to do but schoolwork and fiddle with a deck of cards, so he taught himself a bunch of fancy shuffles (didn’t have anyone to play with, so he didn’t really learn to play). Then he went off to college, and some sharpers picked up this freshman to skin him at poker – they let him deal first, and afterwards were too intimidated to cheat.
