A droid, a telepath and a gambler, yeah right

I'm usually playing poker with the female of the week, in my quarters...

Hmmm, with an empath more useless than a 20th century telephone psychic, an android with less common sense than the aforementioned empath, and a Kirk wannabe, let me take a guess...

I bet my hair and lost last time I played poker.

And play against an empath, a walking card calculator, a man who can read cards via infrared, a Klingoff who could wipe the floor with me, and a first officer who keeps blowing my chances with women?

You're a Telepath Counsellor. YOU figure it out.

Save the universe first, THEN play poker.

We have no money, I'd have to use the Enterforaprise as collateral

And leave all the ensigns in charge of the bridge?

Brushing up on my game of Bald Man's Bluff

Well, how come none of you come to any of my flute recitals then huh?
