Trifecta is a word known in the gambling world. It's mostly known as a horse racing term involving picking three horses that nets you a good pay off. It also has two more obscure meanings. In ancient Roman times when a colloseum visitor had a bad day his comrades would tell him to "Try Fecta." Fecta, being a delicious ensemble of horse meat, ice cream and Ben and Jerry's ice cream was a sure fire way to abate your failure when topped off with two forty's of Belgian malt liquor.
The other meaning is one we at The Big Lay Down know very well. When searching for bogus tables, if you've got two in a row, it's pretty easy to get the third. This one is a little bit more subtle, but still there's a sacrificial horse (sorry lambs, horse theme tonight.) that has no clue that this is a lowball game.
You made an unwise bet, you were called. You discard one card. You follow with being all in on two pair in a low game. Therefore, by logical deduction you had a pair even before the one card you drew.
Now, if you're serious about bluffing the only play is to stand pat. Instead we draw one and die. Nice trade. Try fecta.

After waiting for Sora at the airport for 7 hours this morning without seeing her I realized my espionage plans may have been compromised. Me and my crack team of espionage experts (me, the dog and the bed bugs) had a campfire huddle up and we have to suspect something. Sora Aoi, Asian hottie extraordinaire, might just be a double agent. The evidence - her last name is Aoi. Think about it. Artificial Oriental Intelligence. I don't care how hot you are, you and I will never play the PokeMon trading card again. Bitch.
