Eddie, Clark, and Miami are all playing cards at a table in Vegas. After some taunting and insults, Clark and Eddie get in a fight. Later it is revealed that the whole thing was a show to throw off the Matador of the trio’s plans to take him for all that he is worth.

A police sheriff out for vengeance against the Matador joins a high stake no limit game to get at the Matador, but loses all his chips to him.

A man named Seymour Annisman, who appears to be the mastermind to Eddie, Clark, and Miami’s plans, scolds them for being seen together, and they go off to build their bankrolls.

Later, Eddie is approached by a man named Tropical Henry who sees him as having some talent. Tropical Henry tells him that if he plays his cards right, he may be able to get him a big time backer. Eddie sees it as the perfect way to get closer to the Matador.

Episode Quotes
 
Eddie: You know what it feels like. Everything's going your way. You can't make a wrong decision if you try. You bet pass, the shooter rolls a seven. You stand firm on 12, the dealer busts out with a face card. At the hold 'em table, you start every hand with big slick. And then... it happens. Your wife calls on the cell phone with a problem at home. The waitress spills a drink on you. Suddenly, the world shifts, anger overtakes you. Confusion, pain, you can't think straight. You call when you should raise, you bet when you should fold. You can't win for losing. It's what the house counts on, the pros too. You're off-balance. You're out of your right mind, and on tilt.
 
Seymour: If we're gonna beat him (Matador) in a cash game you're gonna have to get out of the kiddie pool and start making some moves.
Eddie: Kiddie pool? Come on, heads up right now old man. I'll take whatever you have on you.
 
Matador: Make it a thousand.
Lee: Did you even look at your hand?
Matador: Well, I didn't have to because I saw you look at yours.
Lee: I fold.
Matador: Very smart. That's one free lesson. The next one's gonna cost you.
 
Matador: A set of deuces is kind of like a mackerel in the sunlight. One minute it's real shiny, and the next it stinks.
