Irrelevant. Since Spock is wearing a beard for Camo we have to assume this is the parallel universe Spock. ;)

It would be illogical for Spock to play a game of chance, but since we already have him at the tables playing, it would be illogical for him not to play to win using any and every means at his disposal.

Spock is logical, but certainly not perfect! He's usurped power to take over the ship on more than one occasion. He violated Starfleet Commands rules of conduct and clearly cheated to satisfy his own emotional well being.

The alternate universe Spock had a real beard, not a fake one. This is definitely the real Spock. And do not forget, the holodeck where he is playing is a make-believe world; it is for entertainment purposes only and therefore Spock is not really gambling. It's a simulation! Spock set up the program, so he made the rules to suit and can break them if he wants. He cannot cheat; it is illogical. He breaks rules only when it is putting the welfare of others ahead of himself. In this sense, the rule was inadequate for the situation at hand and is not a cheat. Spock is the perfect man from the bottom of his feet to the tips of his Vulcan ears. How dare anyone disparage his Vulcanular reputation! Have you no shame!!!!:flame:

It is illogical. If it seemed to have happened, it must have been a cover for some hidden purpose. Or maybe it was a game/roleplay on the holodeck, or an other-than-Spock clone in a parallel universe. I am not even sure that Spock has the right equipment for an earthling relationship; I don't remember any episode revealing information regarding his "junk.*"

Star Trek was a cool show but one show lasted much much longer than Star Trek. It had a place where gambling, drinking, and girls was the center piece.
That place was in nearly all episodes. The owner even showed, in one episode, how she cheated a gambler out of all of his money. Know what it is?
