How is this unfair?

[putting his dice in the cup and shaking it already]

[psychebubble]

We're both professional liars, but only one of us has had all of our skills stripped away.

[DOING THE SAME, THOUGH.]

[fullhoused]

The point is, of course, that this is supposed to be a challenge for you.

[slams his cup on the table and takes a peek at his dice. then he smiles.]

[psychebubble]

Of course. I'll win anyway.

[PEEKING UNDER AS WELL... though since you never explained what the hands are, she has no real reaction one way or the other.]

[fullhoused]

Why don't I start first...

[takes a peek under his cup again, then looks at Paru] Hmm. . . there's a four under that cup.

[psychebubble]

Hm... Under yours as well, I think.

[fullhoused]

Would you like to test that now?

[psychebubble]

Why not?

[fullhoused]

Because you would definitely lose your chance for a new dress.

[psychebubble]

Really? You know, not to brag, but I'm pretty smart. I figured out the best strategy for this game right away.

[fullhoused]

Go on.

[psychebubble]

You're a portrait drawn of a dealer. In your realm, here, you basically have god-like powers. Putting these together, god-like powers with the "theme" of a casino... That means your ability to bluff and read bluffs are both way above anything I could do, especially with my skills gone.

So the only chance I have of winning this is to call right away, before your bluffs or extra bets can mess with my head and I fall into your pace. Then it'll just be a simple game of luck, where you and I are equally matched.

[fullhoused]

You do know that I am a dealer, not a bluffer.

[But he puts his hand on his cup.]

Shall I reveal my numbers, then?

[psychebubble]

Really? But right now, you're playing.

Reveal them.

[fullhoused]

You said I have a four under here, didn't you?

This is your last chance to change your mind.

[psychebubble]

Thinking about it statistically, this isn't like the Monty Hall problem. Even if I change my mind now, it doesn't change the odds any.

[fullhoused]

[reveals the dice

3, 5, 5, 3, 3]

Full house.

[psychebubble]

[6 5 4 1 4

[fullhoused]

Your loss, madam.

[psychebubble]

Another round!

[fullhoused]

I'll be nice and say yes. Although, I am giving you two more chances. Is that fair?

[putting the dice back in his cup and shaking]

[psychebubble]

That's fair, but I'm a little bit surprised.

[fullhoused]

Please don't leave me hanging. Tell me more.

[psychebubble]

How about, I'll tell you if I lose this round.

[fullhoused]

[laughs]

A fair trade. Are you ready?
