Sure, I could use a little practice. I don't know if I've got the hang of this game yet, be gentle.

[poisontippedcure]

You know, it's generally not advised to reveal your weaknesses to your opponents before a match starts.

[She shuffles the cards, before handing the deck to Han to cut.]

Of course, this also might be a part of your strategy.

[straightouttacarbonite]

That's awful generous, assuming I've got a strategy.

[ He cuts the cards like someone who sort of knows what he's doing. More or less. He's at least played something before, maybe not this something. ]

What do we deal here, six? Or seven?

[poisontippedcure]

I assume you've got something up your sleeve, at least.

[That something may be a strategy, or it may be a card. Not that she'd directly accuse Han of cheating, of course. But it's always better to be cautious.]

Seven should suffice.

[straightouttacarbonite]

Just the usual. Forearms, wrists.

[ He deals a little more fluidly, his casual and cheery smile not at all flagging as he sets the rest of the deck down. ]

Where'd you learn to play?

[poisontippedcure]

There's an area in my homeworld called the Gold Saucer. The owner is quite eccentric, but it's a reputable enough place.

[She grins. Han may be technically telling the truth, but she's smart enough to still keep an eye out.]

I imagine you learned to play somewhere much different.

[straightouttacarbonite]

Are you saying you think I'm disreputable?

[ not that he'd exactly... Argue. He doesn't sound offended, lazily rearranging the cards in his hand. ]

You know, you pick up games here and there. Mostly we play sabacc, but they don't have it here, I don't think.

[poisontippedcure]

I'm saying you're only as disreputable as you appear.

[Which is very.]

I can't say I've ever heard of Sabacc, no.

[straightouttacarbonite]

Ah, c'mon.

[ He'd do a better job of seeming wounded if he made any effort whatsoever. ]

That's too bad-- it's a great game. I should see if I could work up a version with the cards they've got here.

[poisontippedcure]

That doesn't sound like you're denying it.

[She calls them as she sees them.]

What sort of game is it?

[straightouttacarbonite]

Hey, I don't need to be told how classy and handsome I am.

[ His ego is sufficient. Also, not-so-secretly, he delights in being taken for a criminal. He works hard to be criminal, damn it. ]

Oh, there are lots of varieties. Some are like this, raising the stakes 'til someone calls your bluff. Some just about learning to read your opponent. In the big casinos there're ones where the cards change values 'til someone sets them.
