Three cards of a kind? I don't think so. But the possibility is creeping up on me now more than ever. Following suit was never my style, and this time won't be any different. I'd rather play 52 Pick Up than Blackjack. I've seen what it does to the players, how it changes them. The drama of the game gets to you and plays with your head. By the end of every day, the emotional exhaustion is too much. I've played that game before, drawing an ace and thinking what I had was the most valuable thing on earth. But, I was wrong, and it was expected to have the lowest value, ending up as a disadvantage instead. Could the lowest value card, though, help you when your count is twenty and you're on the verge of winning? And how could you predict such a game of chance so as to play it right?
