A frazzled Theresa starts questioning her relationship with Lucky, feeling as if she is spending her nights with a compulsive gambler who has no clear goals. Lucky assures Theresa that if given some time to make a list, he could find some goals. After getting mugged at gunpoint by a masked figure and saved by a former gambler named Murray, Lucky has an epiphany: He'll no longer gamble. He'll work for Murray's company and sell meat. With Lucky's uncanny ability to decipher people, he's a natural salesman and quickly establishes Murray's meats as a staple around Las Vegas. The only problem is that the company's fiercest competitors, the Russo Brothers, aren't afraid to use intimidation to get sales. After a romantic dinner with Theresa is foiled by Russo's men, Lucky declares a "meat war" and vows that Murray's Meats will ultimately prevail.

As Theresa withdraws from her gambling addiction and has continued trouble with her husband, she relies on Lucky for support as her sponsor. In order to disguise the fact that he is a hypocrite, Lucky conceals from Theresa that he is gambling again.

As an important satellite tournament quickly approaches, Lucky develops a "tell" (a telltale sign to other players when Lucky is bluffing). Vinny and Mutha try to appear as a couple of card-counting geniuses to scam an unsuspecting target.

A famous actor, Bobby Blaine, makes a deal with Lucky to be his technical advisor and show him what it's like to be a real gambler.
