Hidden Thought:
Hidden Thought: Your wish has come true. You’ve struck oil, Partner. You drew a “miracle card,” the 9., giving you a Straight Flush. The only ranked hand that can beat you now would be a higher Straight Flush or a Royal Flush. You’re feeling the “power” of being a gambling man. You’re excited as all hell. You’re ready to play and win big time. Your hands are a-shaking and your heart is a-pounding. This is no-limit poker, boy. Just how big a bet are you going to make?
