Blackjack Senryu String Part Iii
Well, I’m back again.
I’m here to try out my luck.
Be nice to me now.
Will you let me win?
I feel you are overdue
to give me winners.
Here is my money.
Are those chips of yours lucky?
I need some good luck.
Shuffle up those cards.
Make them all come out my way.
All blackjacks for me!
Here is my first bet.
Just starting out small this time.
I feel lucky now.
An ace and a king!
And that is my first blackjack!
Thank you very much!
You can’t pay me yet?
I see you have a ten up.
No insurance please.
You don’t have blackjack
I will guess you don’t have it.
You don’t have an ace.
And you have an ace.
It’s only a push for me?
And I don’t get paid!
Let’s try it again.
I will double my money.
I need a blackjack.
A eight and a three
That is eleven for me.
You have a six up.
I will double down.
Here is my extra money.
Give me something good.
You give me a five
And that amounts to sixteen.
I think you will bust.
Do you have a ten
underneath that six of yours?
I hope you will bust.
What? That is an ace!
That gives you a seventeen!
You beat me again!
This is the last time.
I’m almost out of money.
Make this a good one.
I have five and four
That is a nine you gave me.
Your up card is five.
Double down again.
I need a winner right now.
Give me something big.
You give me an ace.
I have a soft twenty now.
I want you to bust.
Your hole card’s a jack.
So that gives you a fifteen.
Please go over now.
And you draw a six!
Twenty-one beats my twenty
Forget it today!
