because Kaiji loves to lose

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Who: genius_idiot, and whoever decides to show up!
When: 1:00AM, Sept. 28
Where: a spare room in the basement of the Back-End Bar.
Rating: PG-13?
Warnings: Gambling, booze, man tears, whatever.

On September 27, everyone will receive a text from Kaiji with the following information:
Poker tonight (game & buy-in tbd), basement of bar, 1:00AM. Anyone welcome.

Of course, he's not taking into account minors, but that doesn't mean they can't sneak in, right?

To anyone who comes, Kaiji will be sitting at a table, shuffling some cards, a case of cheap beer sitting next to him to share with everyone. Several chairs surround the table, and a case of poker chips sits open, waiting to be sorted. Fifty dollars sits on the table in front of Kaiji - that's what he plans for a buy-in for now, but is willing to adjust if need be.

Kaiji will give a nod to anyone who walks in. "Have a seat, grab a drink. Do you know how to play?"

[[OOC - no need to thread out games in their entirety, that gets a bit monotonous imho! This is an open log, so feel free to mill around, win or lose some cash, sneak in, have some drinks, whatever you want! The game is 5-card stud. Enjoy!]]

"I don't need to know how to play. I just need to win."

"And to win, ya need to know how to play!"

"Victory won't come just by knowing a few rules!"

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

"How do you expect to win if you don't know what the hands are, what to bet, or how to bluff?"

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"Because these is no way someone of my level can lose to a weakling like you."

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

"Your level of what? You don't even know what you're talking about."

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

"I know that I'm not gonna lose to you mullet boy! Gimme five more card!"

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

[Kaiji glowers, and slams 5 more cards down in front of her.]

[Miki's eyes go narrow as suspiciously watches Kaiji deals the cards. Slowly, she picked up the cards and looks at them. After a few moment of thinking, she closes her eyes, shakes her head and places the cards face down in front of her.]

"Cheating, how pathetic..."

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

[He slams his own cards down now.]

Now I'm cheating?! Just because you got a shitty hand? Forget it. This game's over!

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Well if you weren't cheating how else would I have gotten two through six? All of the same color too! Don't think you can walk out of here after fixing the deck!

[Kaiji grabs her cards and flips them over... holy shit she's right. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

No no, Kaiji, play it cool, play it cool. She's too dumb to know.]

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

I-I didn't cheat! Didn't I say the game was over? Get outta here!

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

WHAT? You can't just end the game because you got caught? It's be only right if you paid up first.

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

You don't even know what you're doing! Forget about it.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

You think I'm gonna let you walk out of here just so you can go and try and cheat some other innocent maiden out of her money?

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

[Kaiji just throws the money at her now.] Look, you won, okay?! That was a winning hand! I didn't cheat, you're just too dumb to know that you got a straight flush!

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

[As the money rains around Miki, she crosses her arms and closes her eyes. Her voice is filled with the triumph of justice.] The only dumb ones here are those who try to cheat and steal to get their way.

[Kaiji slumps into his chair, looking defeated. There's no way to use reason here.]
