he had only the slim makings

Poetry & Literature
McQueen looks as though he's going to throw up. He has been wiped out. McQueen's full house, aces over tens, loses to Robinson's straight flush.
The dealer is incredulous. "You're raising tens on a lousy three flush?" she says to Robinson. She was right! Robinson never should have made that bet since he had only the slim makings of a straight flush and he was staring at McQueen's pair of tens. You don't often beat two pairs, and certainly not a full house.
"Gets dozen to what it's all about doesn't it? Making the wrong move at the right time. Like life I guess ... " says Robinson to the dealer.

ele ainda não tinha um straight flush completo
Creio que soa mais natural. Não sei se esse slim quer dizer que havia poucas cartas do mesmo naipe ou se o narrador quer dizer que o straight flush não estava completo e, comparando com o adversário, a jogada era "fraca", "arriscada".

ele tinha apenas uma pobre/insuficiente sequência do mesmo naipe.
straight flush = sequência do mesmo naipe

: Ele ainda não tinha o straight flush neste momento, tinha apenas parte de um. Definição incorreta, ainda mais considerando que straight flush é a segunda mão mais rara do poker, não pode ser considerada "pobre", a menos que contra um Royal Straight Flush.

ele tinha apenas uma parte
Robinson estava apostando embora tivesse somente três cartas do "straight flush" que ele queria (e precisava, para ganhar do McQueen).
