TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

In my head canon Riker is such a good guy for playing poker with his friends. He has zero chance of winning ever, but still plays for the fun of it.

We have a human with super cyber vision, this man can literally see through the cards. Now he might be staring at Trois tits most of the time (the TNG LaForge character was a bit of a creep), but still he can read all the cards. And it's actual canon he can't selectively filter, he gets it all at once.

Then we have a half human, half-Betazoid with psychic abilities. You ain't bluffing, you can't even hide your hand, she senses what you've got immediately. Sure she claims not to do that, but we've seen dozens of times she can't control that shit.

Next to her we have an actual fucking robot. Not just a machine with super human speed and strength, but also just about the smartest dude you've ever seen. Although his intelligence and knowledge is limited by a severe case of plotitus, you know he's counting the cards and stacking the deck. It's even canon he does that subconsciously, he's so used to cheating at cards, it's become second nature.

And then there's Worf, a proud warrior who doesn't really like to play games, but doesn't want to be left out. He absolutely sucks at playing cards, but they let him win anyways. I mean would you tell a Klingon warrior his pair of queens doesn't beat your flush? Hells no, he's likely to rip your head off by accident.

Riker has no shot at all, but he loves hanging out with the gang. So he'll happily lose all night, as long as his friends are there having a good time.

And by round 3 it's probably all gossip and booze (how does all that Andorian ale get onto starships anyway?), and Data playing all hands by himself because he's lost patience with the slow biologicals.

We never saw it on screen, but I'd bet McCoy cleaned him out more than once!
