I really don't like pestering people for reviews, but please remember to do so.

...

Is this one of those, 'Why didn't you just say so,' type situations?

Henry shuffled the deck, handing each of them their cards, as he had before, pondering which of the Tamers would be the first out of the game, and which of them that would be the last two.

Kazu had the least money, so he would likely lose first, whether from misjudging a hand, or simple attrition, Henry thought. Likewise, Takato and Rika were likely to stay in the game, until at least the last the couple of hands, if not the very last one.

He doubted that Jeri would stay for long, as she seemed somewhat lacking in the poker-skills department, though she didn't let that hinder her.

Ryo and Kenta, however, he suspected, had considerably better chances, though he still didn't exactly value those chances highly.

Kenta knew that he would have to fold, as the Four and Two of Diamonds were far too low, in spite of being a matched suit, unconcerned with his slight loss of money. (Kenta: 3400) (Pot: 100)

Takato smirked, as Henry had given him the Eight of Diamonds and Ten of Spades, knowing that this was, almost literally, the best hand to make a Straight with, adding two-hundred yen to the pot. (Takato: 7900) (Pot: 300)

Jeri got the Eight and Nine of Clubs and smiled, as she knew that it was a good hand. It could've been better, but this was enough to win, with a bit of luck...

Rika cringed inwardly, as she'd gotten the Nine of Spades and Three of Diamonds. Normally, she wouldn't mind running the risk of using a mismatched hand, but this was strip poker.

Kazu was hardly better off, as he'd gotten the Six of Diamonds and Three of Hearts.

Ryo grinned, having the Queen of Hearts and Ten of Spades. Being in a losing position as he was, he needed an exceptional hand, and this fit the bill perfectly.

Henry decided to fold, as while his Seven and Two of Clubs were a matching suit, their ranks were too far apart, for that to matter.

"Bets, anyone?" Henry asked.

Jeri gave a soft nod. "750," (Jeri: 6000) (Pot: 1050)

"Fold," Rika grumbled, handing a surprised Henry her cards, who did as Ryo had, and put them in a pile.

"Here too," Kazu said, giving his cards to Henry, who added them to Rika's.

"I'm in," Ryo grinned, surprising the others, who hadn't expected him to do anything other than fold, and bide his time. (Ryo: 1700) (Pot: 1800)

"I'll fold," Henry sighed, placing his cards in the growing pile.

Kenta folded as well, leaving only three players in the game.

Takato hesitated slightly, as his cards weren't of the same suit. Without that, they might not be good enough to beat whatever Jeri and Ryo had, though he supposed that there was only one way to find out; the knowledge that even if he lost, he'll still have plenty of money left-over reassuring him somewhat. (Takato: 7550) (Pot: 2350)

Henry turned over the Flop, consisting of the Jack of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds and Three of Spades. In that moment, Takato and Jeri knew that winning was impossible, while Ryo's grin grew substantially, as he had two more chances to get the King he needed to make a pseudo-Royal Straight Flush.

"Fold," Jeri sighed, and Henry put her cards with the others.

"600," Ryo grinned, strongly suspecting that no-one would call his bet, which was proven correct, when Takato folded.

"That happened," Ryo laughed, claiming the pot. He knew his chances of winning, or even staying for more than a hand or two, was slim, so he just wanted to leave with as much money as he could. (Ryo: 4050)
