And what follows is an aggressively mediocre explanation of how to play Texas Hold 'Em by someone who's only played it a handful of times and is also a bit drunk.

The fact that his inebriated state is only further boosting Hickey's default state of unearned self-confidence isn't helping. Long story short, this explanation is kind of shit.

"Right. Any questions?"
