Spock, once educated on the concept, could bluff anyone this side of Wolverine. Probably him, too, because he's that awesome.
Also, there's probably some Starfleet regulation about pregnancy and medical leave for officers, so...well, I just like it when crack's taken seriously, is all. Why else would I write an mpreg abortion story?
If someone explained it's a fairly common human bonding ritual, used to enhance interpersonal communication skills in a small group by reading nonverbal cues, he'd go along with it.
Spock can't eat anything at the Paulacue because everything's got bacon, bacon fat or gravy already in it, even the potatoes and the salad. But she's super sweet and pulls together like seven vegetarian dishes in five seconds.
I really want Uhura to win, because she'd be amazing and smile a little and then waltz out, possibly dragging Spock by the collar (provided he still has a collar)
But Chekhov's a math genius, and kinda sneaky to boot. You can't tell me that kid doesn't count cards.
#1: Because there should be an episode of Paula's show named that. Taking place at Uncle Bubba's. With everybody wearing Starfleet tunics. I'm just saying.
#2: Spock, only because I suspect he'd be the best of the group at counting cards.
Everybody's forgotten that Chekov's a math genius, though! He could give Spock a run for his money...except now that I think about it, he might be a little nervous at the idea of besting his superiors and throw the game.
"Commander Spock, congratulations, you have won another hand!"
Chekov may look sweet and innocent, but he's a total card shark. Picked it up from one of his more nefarious uncles and used it to keep himself in pocket money while he was at the academy.
I fully support this backstory. I do, however, think it would take the combined forces of Scotty, Sulu, and Kirk to talk him into beating a superior officer at poker (Kirk does not count).

Although the second one is actually a sequel of sorts, so the first one would have to be posted first anyway(they both have Joanna in them).

"Captain, have you been adequately briefed regarding the rules of this contest?"
"I am the CAPTAIN...of NO PANTS."
"Vy couldn't he be the keptin of pants?"

"I will now remove my shirt."
