A straight and a pair.
No, no...
I tapped on the last pair three and clicked discard.
I looked at the words at the bottom.
First.
I put my phone down and looked up at the teacher, a middle-aged lady droning on and on about some mathematical formulae.
Fatty, my roommate, tapped my shoulder from behind. "'Fight the Landlord'?"
I smiled. "Yeah. I haven't lost at all today."
"Well, isn't that good luck? Another round when we get back?" he asked.
"We can start right now, why wait?" I responded.
"I mean a real game." Fatty grinned.
I nodded. Why not? I had been winning the whole day.
I had faith in my luck that day.
"And we'll play with money," Fatty added.
"Real money?" I asked doubtfully.
Gambling with real money was something I hadn't tried before.
"One dollar minimum. Rules remain the same," Fatty continued.
I looked down at my phone and thought about it for a while.
