'''Read'Em and Weep''' is a [[Stock Phrase]] used when a character displays the high hand in a game of poker or similar game and rakes in a big pot. In a comedy it often heralds the arrival of the innocent newbie and [[The Magic Poker Equation]]; in a drama it often heralds the arrival of large, unpleasant men with drawn guns. In any story, it can also precede the showing of someone else's even better hand.
