The Troubleshooter: Hard Luck Grift
by Bard Constantine
If you wanna make it in a town like New Haven, you gotta have a little gambling spirit in you. ‘Cause the odds are stacked from the start, the dealers are grifters, and the house rules are that anything goes. So you better know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em, when to bet large and when to bluff. The same rules for playing in the casinos apply on the streets. Because in both settings, the chances of winning are slim. But should you hit large, it’s better to crab before your luck runs out. Because in New Haven they like to give until it hurts.
