Gin rummy, maybe. Wist, possibly. But poker? No way. Or at least not the way Lucy plays. Lucy is feeling neglected in this episode with Ricky's face in the newspaper rather than giving her attention in the morning, and she keeps attempting different scientifically proven ways of changing that. But of course, for Lucy they fail and often hysterically.
If there's the premise of Lucy trying to be glamorous in the morning, that's an infant failure and so is Lucy's attempt to intervene in a poker game. She turns their apartment into a mini Havana complete with stereotypical Latin American cliches that are a combination of other cultures and even gets to imitate the non-Cuban Carmen Miranda. Silly plot but lots of laughs.
