I don't know a thing about playing poker except that you use cards, but nevertheless I had fun with this. It's just like Jacob to sneak away from a boring social event (I can imagine his face when he found out that the hostess was trying to hitch him up with a female guest!) to play poker with the security guys instead.

Considering Jacob's open book of a face, no wonder that Rachel was surprised at just how good he was at playing poker. I love these moments when you have him pull some stunt nobody would have expected.

And I loved the three rules!

Lots of fun. Jacob is always a surprise. Love the way you are moving the relationship along. And, as always, am impressed by your encyclopedic knowledge of so many topics. Do you play poker?

I loved this! Light, warm, fun .

I know nothing whatsoever about poker but you made it entertaining.

Rachel thinks she is smart and knows Hood but he is still two jumps ahead of her.

Thanks for this. I have added it to my list of favourites.

Great story. I bet he is able to count cards! Fun to read.

Well done, another entertaining Jacob/Rachel story! Of course he would win and I don't no anything about poker myself, but you manage to make it exciting anyway. I love how they slowly move towards eachother, and can see how they'll become friends (and more). And was that a Titanic reference in the end (gentlemen..etc)? I'm already looking forward to the next story!

Thank you so much. That was wonderful. I giggled through the last half. You wright these two to perfection.

Loved it!
