[ There's a subtle nod at the mention of sharing — John's always happy to do that, and he's gathered at least an opinion on everything.
He's probably throwing away these hands a little more easily now that they've established that neither are there to clean anyone out, but John doesn't mind folding with a decent pair if it gives him a couple seconds to talk without having to concentrate on betting. ]
Heh. Bet that makes you popular with your colleagues.
[ For Blake's part, he'd made similar enough waves before things went south, usually because he was the guy asking everyone to do their damn jobs. He walked a beat when most people wouldn't, got to know people even as he was taking them in for whatever petty crime. Respect could go a long way with people, but only if you're the kind of person that believes everyone deserves it. ]
