Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "To play poker".

Explanation:

In Colin Linden's "Lucky Charm", the speaker starts his story by telling how his father "Little Willie" took him to Black-eyed Pete's "Emporium" on the day he turned seven. At the Emporium the young boy could hear how teenagers were playing pool games and on pinball machines, however his father went there to play illegal backroom poker games. The fact that Willie went to the Emporium to play poker games in a city where gambling is legal, tells about how Willie was obsessed with playing poker.
