Character: EDDY
“The game three-card brag is a simple form of poker, you are dealt only three cards and these you can’t change.
If you don’t look at your cards you’re a `blind man’ and you only put in half the stake.
Three of any kind is the highest you can get: the odds are four hundred and twenty-five to one. Then it’s a running flush – you know, all the same suit running in order; then a straight, then a flush, then a pair, and finally whatever the highest card you are holding. There are some tell-tale signs that are valuable; I am not going to tell you them because it took me long enough to learn them, but these can only help a player, not make one.
So you want to play?”
