[ Truth be told, Jack's skill with cards was actually a fairly recent development.
For most of his life, he hadn't really been the kind of guy to play cards. Never really timid, but back when he was working tech, it just had never really been something he'd been interested in. But as his personality got more boisterous, more unhinged, and his coworkers had changed a bit... He had learned pretty quickly. There was, after all, something to the image of a card shark that appealed to him. It was probably the bravado over anything else, but there was little that fit the persona of Handsome Jack better than anything to bolster bravado.
He grins each time he wins, toothy, but not unfriendly at all. This is an easy, relaxed game, one where Jack isn't playing with a vicious desire to win despite his competitive streak. It works well, since it means that this stays friendly. Jack has a temper, but in situations like this? He's at least not so bad. Or not as bad as he could be. ]
Oh- Oh, you think so, Ging? [ Short for "ginger," naturally. Jack is always fond of his nicknames, but at least there are more personalized ones once he gets a bit more comfortable with someone. Whether this is a good or a bad thing is up for debate. He waves his cards like a fan towards himself, snickering as he does so. ]
I mean, I dunno... Could have the best hand here. You sure you wanna risk that? I'm on a hot streak here.
