Underground Poker match [open]

Sitting there for a moment, Mercury picked up his beer, taking a sip as he placed it down on the circular cardboard coaster that was a bit moist with condensation. His finger lingered, gently running the ring around the lip of the beer bottle. It was a good beer, someone had taken the time to brew and bottle it personally. His face held a smirk, in his hands were cards. He flicked the top of one of the cards, rearranging the order in his hand with a single hand. He was quite dexterous actually, though here he was known by a different name and no one knew his real identity, otherwise he doubted that anyone would want to play cards with him. His hat was low on his fore head, The expression on his face was neutral. If there was a hand that he could play with, this was it. The guy on the other side of the table was sweating, and if he wanted to, he could probably read his mind. That would be cheating, not that he could say he wasn't a cheater. He was the best damn cheater this side of the river styx.

"You should fold." Mercury stated with a smirk. There was no doubt in his mind that the guy was sweating but this guy was too stubborn to get the hint that he should give up. "Fat chance in hell bastard." The guy snapped, making Mercury contemplate taking everything in his pocket. But a single glance told Mercury everything he wanted to know this kid had nothing. OR at least he was riding on this poker tournament to get some cash to go to the next town. Mercury could respect that, he wasn't exactly someone who liked to settle down with a nice lady. But with the obvious disrespect, he wasn't going to take that lying down and it was that sort of disrespect that most didn't stand for. Mars would have taken this kid and beaten him to a pulp.

"whine all you want, Royal flush. and I...ahh, I believe this is mine." Mercury said as he showed his hand in diamonds. The kids face turned bright red as he then pushed the table away upsettting the chips and cards, sending them in all sorts of directions. Another few grand in the bank for him to play with. Not playing with in the literal sense. He'd probably use it to start up another business. He had plenty to spare.

North America, amazing place to have fun, to go and break some rules in some very specific places and with selected people. But fun all the way. Josh loved to go to several places and play some games, card games were some of the best he had ever played, maybe more because he was fast enough to cheat and people never realize about it. But he didn’t cheat all the time, to be a perfect cheater you had to also be a perfect player and Josh was the closest thing to what a really good player and an even better cheater.

He walked into a cool place to gamble. He looked around and people looked at him asking themselves if he was old enough to play, if he was new in town or if he was an undercover cop… well he had never known of someone that had thought that of him, but it was fun to think about it. Then as he walked, he saw a man gambling at a table with others. For a second he thought that it was just his imagination, but then he noticed something in the smirk of that man, something that he had seen only in two places, the mirror whenever he looked at it and smirked and in his father’s smirk. So then he realized that the man couldn’t be other tan his father. He as always irradiating so much power, as any other god.

He looked at the man and then the opponent, Josh chuckled. It was a piece of cake, maybe another gamer wouldn’t damage the game a lot. He walked closer to that table and smiled at both men. “Hello, hello… I was wondring if you’d mind if I joined your game.” He said and then took out a roll of bills, it was for sure ten thousand dollars.
