Here's the dialogue with lots of gaps between my fedora-wearing 14 year-old nephew Jackie and father-in-law "Pahpah" Jack, at my table this evening. Maybe Pahpah will teach the boys how to play Texas Hold'em, and the loft will be a great place for the boy posse to congregate over some cards:
Check.
Call.
600.
Get a white one.
I got two pair, I got queens and dueces and a king kickin.
Ahight it's on you Jackie boy.

500.
Hah. That deuce pays off for me.
