It seemed to me that my opponent thought he had me figured out. Perhaps he did. I certainly had him figured out. He had fooled me once, but now all the cards were on the table (no pun intended). A coinflip? It could be. But I tended to think that my deck outmaneuvered his, on average. A coinflip-- but a weighted one. That was how I liked it."
