Poker Face

by Theodore Sturgeon
The accountant, Mr. Face, joins the poker game and, among other things, has the remarkable ability to rig any deal without even touching the cards—what else would you expect for a man who’s traveled some 30,000 years from the future?
“Now spill it. Just where did you come from?”

“Geographically,” said Face, “not very far from here. Chronologically, a hell of a long way.”

DEBUT
“Poker Face,” Astounding, March 1941.
