Found an oldish oneshot. This has all the Turks in it, but Reno is the main character.
House Edge
"Hit me."
Tseng raised an eyebrow as he passed a card to the redhead. Reno was strangely serious, considering they were off at the moment, and usually a strangely serious Reno meant something had to be up, but…
Maybe Tseng was just off his game or his groove had been thrown out of whack, or whatever the other Turk had been known to say.
Perhaps he had been on one too many stakeouts with him.
"I'm good." Elena looked particularly serious as well, but that wasn't surprising.
"Rookie knows how to play?"
"Of course." She tapped her fingernails on the table and smiled.
"Rookie thinks she's gonna win?"
Tseng sighed. It was like overseeing a game of Crazy Eights between children. "Reno. Shut up."
Rude folded, and Tseng thought – maybe he had some sense.
Especially compared to Reno who kept raising wagers and half the time seemed to be in another world before declaring that he could really go for another card. But before Tseng got the chance to scowl and ask if he actually knew what the hell he was doing, Reno somehow managed to win.
Much to the surprise of everyone.
An hour and a half and several wins later it was clear that this was not beginner's luck.
Another half an hour later and Elena had had enough, grabbing her things and all too sweetly saying goodnight to Tseng. Rude followed suit soon after, officially ending their first – and probably last game night. This left Reno and a very suspicious Tseng.
"You're card counting, aren't you?"
His silence was all the answer Tseng needed. And though he knew he should have been a bit more responsible in his response to such actions, he couldn't help but think of black and white movies, smoky casinos, and the fedora he kept hidden away back at his apartment.
"I hear Gold Saucer is interesting this time of year."
Reno blinked in surprise, then grinned. "Now you're speaking my language, boss."
