"It's your turn, Caliban."
"Give me a minute, asshole."
I held my tongue while he studied his cards.
"Hit me," he said at last.
I dealt him a card and watched his scowl deepen. Cal had no poker face. I drew another card and raised.
"Fuck," he growled. "I fold."
I smirked, tossed down my cards and raked up my winnings.
"You didn't even have a great hand, Goodfellow," Cal complained. "I hate this game."
"I can teach you chess."
He twitched. If poker taxed his limited patience and mental acumen, chess would kill him.
Cal sighed. "Deal another round."
