I have to learn how to play poker.

If it actually happens, of course. You people go on and on about how I don't know how to be polite, but at least I know not to try hosting a gathering somewhere without asking the owner's permission. It's incredibly inconsiderate.

I'll be watching my tea. If anyone tries to get smart and spike it with anything, we'll have more than words.

How good are you?

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

I've never played professionally or anything, if that what you mean. But I know the rules and tend to win more often than I lose.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... That's acceptable.

People play professionally?

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Very well. When would you like to learn?

Oh yes. It can be quite a profitable profession if you're very good. Or very lucky.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Soon.

A game isn't a profession.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Very well. Tomorrow over lunch, then?

Oh yes it can be, if you know how to play it well enough.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Fine.

Just because someone lives off their earnings from a game doesn't mean it's a profession.

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

I would have to disagree. Anything where you make enough money to live while putting forth some sort of effort can be a profession, really.

Professions are respectable, and are actually worth something to society.

OOC: Assuming might be better, because I don't actually know anything about poker myself. DX

[reliablekiller.livejournal.com]

Well, who'se to say it isn't worth something to society? They bring entertainment to those who watch them, they encourage other people to try and be as good at the game as they are...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Worthless, comparatively.

OOC: It's probably kind of hard to teach/learn over the internet though, and she'd pick it up easier than I'd be able to. XD
