In the episode Win, Lose or Draw from season 1 of Everybody Loves Raymond, Ray's competitive instincts come out when he challenges his father, Frank, to a game of poker. Ray becomes obsessed with winning the game and proving his dominance over his father, who has always been a tough critic and harsh taskmaster.

Meanwhile, Debra decides to host a Thanksgiving feast for her family and Ray's family, but her efforts are complicated by the incompetence of her youngest sister, Amy. The bumbling Amy manages to ruin several dishes and creates chaos in the kitchen, forcing Debra to intervene and salvage the meal.

As the poker game gets underway, tensions rise between Ray and Frank, and the competition becomes heated. They both try to outsmart each other with bluffs and counter-moves, but ultimately the game comes down to the final hand. In a surprising twist, the outcome of the game leads to a heartfelt moment between Ray and his father, as they put their competitiveness aside and express their love for each other.
