red deals
Red generously shuffled for me when I told him I wanted a quick clip, even though the only deck handy was eleven shy of a full 52 (something he neatly assessed when he shook the pack, saying "feels like there's about ten missing.") and barely broken in.

sleight of hand
a found poem
you can pick up
a surprising amount
of information
from watching people's hands
people who are
thinking of betting
will fondle their chips
people who hit
big hands
will often flinch
people who recheck
their cards
after an all-suited flop
were not holding
two spades
to begin with
Found in Mark "The Red" Harlan's Texas Hold 'em for Dummies.
Liars fascinate me -- mostly because I don't know how to do it well myself, and I've been reamed by them in the past. I learned too late (one failed marriage full of lies later) that it was a mistake to search his face -- I should have been watching his hands.
