heart of the cards [m]

The dealer’s second card remains facing down, a mystery to all seven players. Some will eye it; curious, cautious, knowing it can make or break the game depending on its value. Some, wary of the young and beautiful woman’s luck, will assume it could easily be a card worth ten points, and they will give up, thinking that there’s no way they can win against those odds. [break][break] The drunken man sitting to the dealer’s left is not one to think about things like those. He looks at the card, swaying slightly in his seat, but it’s as if he’s raising a silent prayer in hope that it’s something he may be able to beat. He himself has three cards now, and they add up to a nice total of nineteen. A dangerous total of nineteen. One most would have been satisfied with; one they wouldn’t have thought to raise, for if one kept the odds in mind, asking for another hit was as if suicide with a hand like this. It could be said that only two types of people would try for a Blackjack when already having a nineteen: those who have some sort of strategy in mind and may have even been keeping track of what was already dealt, and those who foolishly left it all up to luck and fate. [break][break] He pretends to be the latter. [break][break] He calls for a hit. [break][break] And, when the perfect twenty-one comes, he exhales in relief – as if he has been holding his breath from the very beginning. He looks almost as if he’s about to cry. No tears come, but it’s convincing enough, especially when he reaches for the necklace around his neck and kisses what hangs from it as if a pendant – a wedding band, an amulet. The gesture may be part of the act, but the ring itself is not. It’s a remnant of his past life, his secret life, one he would never speak of. [break][break] ”HA! Damn, I must be lucky tonight! If I win this one I may as well just bet it all, huh?” He laughs loudly, downing most of the drink that has recently been placed before him. These words are a lure: meant to entice the others into believing that they can make it to the end of these games with all of the money that will be lost by this fool. He knows they look at his high stack of chips, and that their greed makes them want to take it all away from him. ”Hey, you know what? I think I’ll buy some more!”
