Author's Note: I have no idea why these two want so badly to torture each other in this fic.  I promise this is not where I intended to go with it, but hey, gotta roll with the punches.  I promise there will be a new chapter soon.  Enjoy!

Chapter 5: I've got a straight, you look flushed, and these jacks are definitely wild. )

Wow. Not only was the poker game entire hot (any inspiration from celeb poker by any chance?) but that ending was ENTIRELY unexpected.

This story is just.... wonderful.

COMPLETE inspiration from celeb poker. I spent an entire weekend just watching that over and over and thought to myself "I have got to write this for Barney and Robin."

Glad it caught you by surprise and glad you're enjoying the story in general. Hopefully more to come soon!

This was great! The poker game was completely sexy and enjoyable. I loved it! Also, I didn't see the end coming - I can't wait for the next chapter to see how you fill in the blanks.

Really?
You're going to leave us hanging like that?
GAH, this is amazing--the "arguement" between Barney and Robin during the poker game before he stormed out was beautifully written.

Haha, I was rereading the whole story to get the gist of it and right when it said something about Lily and Marshall leaving to watch tivo-ed episodes of Ace of Cakes--I was watching Ace of Cakes.

Ah ha ha! I love poker, and I am very, very good at it because like Robin, i play mercilessly and my poker face is a pretty smile which has all the idiot boys falling all over themselves as i steal their chips. :D

Fun times, fantastic fic, and i love/hate you for leaving it on a cliffhanger like that.

Yes I'm a big poker fan too! Not as good as you and Robin, but I can hold my own, and who does not love having all the idiot boys falling all over themselves am i right? Work that out, angelic ink, work that out.

The cliffhanger will be resolved asap, I promise.
