Two Hearts.
Queen..
Spade
... "I fold".
Author notes
Most players would fold 2 of Hearts, Queen of Spades - about as mismatched a 'pocket' hand as you can get in Texas Hold'em poker, where 'Rags' is an affectionate term for a crap hand.
There was an obvious attempt at misdirection with the opening line, don't know if it worked or not!
I guess this can be a companion/overture to 'Underdog'
