The five of them sat down on the ground in a circle with a large jug of daiquiris as Daniel shuffled the deck of cards, making a spectacle out of it.
He split the deck into two equal halves, and then he split the top of the deck into another two halves clipping the deck with his thumb then twists it to the side. He called it the Sybil cut. He then distributed a pair of cards to each of them.
He waited for everyone to pick up their cards and placed the three community cards, one at a time, scanning everyone's faces with the placement of each card.
"The first round will be a trial round for Athena's sake." Daniel announced.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Athena looked at her own cards; she had a 2 of spades and a 6 of hearts. The three community cards in the center of the table were a king of hearts, 4 of diamonds and 8 of clubs. Athena doubted this was a winning hand in any way.
"Let's start the bets with Freda?"
