The cards on the table are an Ace, King, and 10 of diamonds.
Diamonds represent greed.

Commentary on gambling addiction.

Who's bluffing?

What is on the table that one could win or lose?


Comment made by my friend dstroh(He knows us all so it is actually a pretty accurate interpretation):

the overly detailed furniture creates a feeling of anxiety. the chairs seem to be swallowing the figures alive, sucking them down into graves that they have dug for themselves, to deep to ever climb their way back out. the deceitful girl on the right kneels on the floor and pretends to have a bad hand, knowing that she's won already. she represents hope and disappointment, always a step ahead of her adversaries but giving them just enough reason to keep trying. the girl standing has no reflection because she is merely a figment of male imagination. a beautiful woman who bakes, sings, plays the piano and is still cool to hang out with? such a creature only exists in the realm of fantasy. she is the unrealistic prospect that drives us to make our bad decisions throughout life. the man on the right is cautious and clever, as smart as he is paranoid, covering his beer with a card to avoid being the victim of any fowl play. he is reason. the other man is quite the opposite. sitting like a tyrant on his throne without a worry in the world. bored with these silly games and comfortable in his position, he takes everything that he's been given for granted. he is egotism, and like all tyrants, he will surely meet his match.
