Do you remember -You were very young, a couple of us played cards at your house? I remember I didn’t like to be excluded. Well, you always lurked on the side, quiet, obedient but watching. Finally one night, you demanded to play, and, well, we’d had a few and… You were… I don’t know… however old that is. We let you in. You didn’t take any hands, but you clearly understood the fundamentals. When the deal came to you, you called your game. Tennessee three-finger hold ‘em. Your father took it very seriously. He asked you how to play. You said, “We each get five cards.” You dealt them out, then you pointed to the far end of the yard and you said, now… “Whoever gets to the tree first, wins.” You dropped your cards and were halfway there before anyone else realized what was happening. I’ve never seen your father more proud. See, here’s the thing. I was terrified for you, I didn’t know why. And now I do. You will do anything to win.
