Texas Hold Out

I woke up when they slapped my face a few times. Once I got my bearings, I began to plead for my freedom before one of the men shut me up.


"Just deal the game."


I blinked and saw I was tied down to a chair next to a damaged but usable poker table.


"What?"


"We're playing for... Never mind what, but we need a neutral party to deal. That's you."


I swallowed, then picked up the cards.


"Well..


Wait, these are marked, see here?"


Afterwards, I realised I should have worked out who held the key before I lied.
