Four cards short and not a dollar to my name
The offer came in about two weeks ago. There was a phone message from a lady in the media relations department at Harrah’s/Harveys.”How would you like to participate in our national Three Card Poker tournament?” Not knowing anything about Three Card Poker, I wasn’t that interested. I was certain I needed at least seven cards to make a decent five-card poker hand. Three cards didn’t seem like enough, but I did some research before deciding. I found out all betting is done before you see your cards.
