"Confident, aren't you?" Ben said with a smile. He already had his drink and dropped into the seat next to Desi. He let his eyes flick around the table, enjoying the sight of the other players. This certainly had the potential to be an interesting game. He had helped set up the room, and the arrangement they'd come up with looked good. The chairs were comfortable, with padded seats, high backs, and cushioned arm rests. There was a small bar against the wall with a decent variety of drinks, leaning towards the alcoholic.<br/><br/>There were no mirrors at all to avoid "accidentally" seeing anyone else's cards. The carpet was soft to accommodate the anticipated eventual bare feet. There was a couch for taking breaks or more interesting later bets. And, in a really theatrical presentation, on the opposite side of the room from the bar was  a large treasure chest that looked like it was right out of a pirate movie. It was stocked with all sorts of fun toys in case the players got creative with their bets as the night went on. He was really looking forward to this.
