[ there are a couple of places in the ledger where tseng has noted larger-than-usual payouts. the three of spades is one; the two of clubs is another. a third three-of-a-kind comes from a mixed-suit group of fives, and then an even larger payout on the fourth five collected. ]
Yes, sir. I believe it to be part of the reinforcement—rewards rather than punishment.
[ he pushes his own bowl aside lightly so he can identify a couple more of the larger payouts. by and large, it seems that having sex with someone once yields the lowest payout, while subsequent encounters with someone of that rank, regardless of suit, yield larger payouts. ]
These are poker hands. One pair, two pair, three of a kind, four of a kind.
[ and wouldn't it be funny, ha ha, if the house would reward them for fucking in patterns that added up to hands in a game of poker? but tseng hasn't put this to the test yet, largely because he hasn't had anyone to share the theory with just yet. ]
