Stage 1 "Card Sharp"
Twitchy's Poker Hall
Bay 3
One of the favorite tricks of some of the rough men in Chimney Rock's less upstanding establishments was to flatter a well liquored stranger into thinking he was a great shot. Under this ruse they would get him to empty his pistols by shooting at playing cards. After his pistols were empty the rowdys in the saloon would relieve him of his gold and send him on his way.
