Are you implying that they are letting him win?!
He’s the boss. Of course they let him win.
Wesley was right?
You shut your mouth.
The man takes risks on the reg, just to feel something.
Every fucking time he ends up as (temp) captain it’s some huge gamble
When he ends up commanding the ENT-D he always ends up losing control of the ship
No one loses control of the D like Riker.
Riker: My D… It’s out of control!
More evidence of how goody-two-shoes the crew is, they never cheat. These are people who would die to not kill someone who is trying to murder them. Intentional and great world building.
Geordi outright told them he looks at the cards, but only after the hand is over. I would still argue that counts as cheating since it lets him get a better idea for when the others are bluffing.
Perhaps, though if he admitted it to the crew and they’re ok with it, it’s not necessarily in the spirit of cheating.
He did one game, but advised Worf to get cards that are opaque.
If only we could agree such ideals make us stronger as a species, least be honest with each other… And hopefully others if we get to meet them.
The best player unless Crusher is at the table.
Is Data playing, though, or just dealing?
Is he dealing or is he just coping?
Is he coping or just surviving?
Is he just surviving or eye-of-the-tigering?
Is he eye of the tigering or subconsciously stacking the deck to pass a message to himself in future iterations of a temporal causality loop?
data is usually also playing, theres a whole episode where he finds out what bluffing is
I hear he also makes a mean omelet.
A chef is only as good as his ingredients!
