but they Iove our games...

...I'm happy to say.

Yeah, Iooks Iike the kid

has got the jump on everybody.

He's really hot.

-What's new and different, kid?

-Your hair, for one thing.

Kid tries to bring out the worst in people.

As I get on in years, Iike all human beings,

I become acquainted with vanity.

How about you? Still blasting away?

Thousand to go.

Re-raise.

Nice to play with you again, kid.

What do you say, fellas?

Not a spectator sport.

Five thousand.

How deep are you?

Oh, I've got about eighteen thousand.

Okay.

I'm putting you all-in.

Well, I'm gonna have to call you, L.C...

...because my pretty Iadies

are just dying to step out.

Well, they'II be in good company.

Three Kings.

You son of a b*tch.

You're the only man

I enjoy Iosing money to.

Loan me twenty, L.C.?

Is there anybody who doesn't owe you?

Just you, kid. Just you.

Raise you 60.

Eight thousand.

It's an interesting situation.

I had you sitting

with a medium pocket pair.

Nines wired, perhaps,

which would give you a set.

You had me figured for a straight draw.

Now, the question is:

Am I four to a flush, too?

With a pot this size,

I'II call you no matter what you raise.

The prudent thing would be

to just call, protect your chips...

...so you can play again, another day.

No, Prudence, the question is...

...you talking because you got

the diamonds, or because you don't?

You and I both know

what the book says you should do, kid.

Is that what you do now?

Just play by the book?

You might as well play online.

Raise.

I'm all-in.

You sure?

Now, you can pull it back if you want.

I'd bet more if I had it.

-You would?

-Yeah.

I'II Iet you throw in

that charm of yours...

...that wedding ring

you're fond of carrying.

AIthough, I notice

you don't have it with you.

You're right, I don't.

But I'II put up the pawn ticket

that redeems it...

...against that wristwatch

you're wearing.

Yeah?

Okay. May I?

Get out of here.

A buck and a half?

You must have been up against it, kid.

I know that ring's worth a Iot more

than that to you.

And my watch is worth a Iot more

than that to me.

My father's 1 938 Bulova.

He wore it through the war,

but I'II take that bet.

Anybody mind?

Are you kidding? Come on.

This is between you two.

But we're happy to watch.

So insane.

I got you covered.

Possible flush...

...open-ended straight draw.

How are you fixed?

Pocket nines.

Imagine that.

Let's see the river.

Diamond flush, the winner.

That hurts.

Too bad, Huckleberry.

Sometimes it pays to be prudent.

Hey, Huck,

you know what your problem is?

You.

You're a great player.

You know the math.

You read your opponents

as well as anybody I've ever seen.
