Interesting that the Kid waited until Shooter . . .


. . . screwed him before he ended up screwing Shooter's wife. As long as the Kid thought Shooter was a straight shooter, he refused to screw around with Melba. But once he saw that Shooter was screwing with him in terms of the deal, he felt no more loyalty to Shooter and felt free to screw Melba.

That and I think he took it personally that Shooter didn't think he (the kid) could win without help. It was like he was insulted.
