When playing stud, the dealer generally does not use a dealing box (trapezoid, a transparent long box with a semicircular opening, or one side is empty directly, for taking cards. Baccarat because it requires 3
(to 6 decks of cards, generally required), because the stud game uses a total of 52 cards, so before the dealer wants to deal the cards, the first action he usually takes is to put 52 poker cards on the table with one hand
Spread it out and place it in a fan shape. The spacing between the cards should be as consistent as possible, and the card shapes should be neat and distinct.
This is a basic skill. It seems to be a short two-second action, but it is actually very simple. If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself with a deck of cards on the table. Anyway, I have come to a conclusion: failure is the permanent mother of success.
Xiao Huahua is indeed an excellent dealer. After all, his strength has been recognized by Snake. The 52 poker cards he unfolded showed an almost perfect card pattern. He quickly dealt a hole card to everyone. The whole process was fast.
Quiet. The cards are close to the table and there is no possibility of cheating.
Then there were two bright cards, which were placed in front of Wang Xu and Snake respectively. On Wang Xu's table was a diamond 2, and in front of Snake was a club K.
Just as Snake was about to reach out to see his trump card, Wang Xu suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" Snake's hand stopped.
"I haven't checked the cards yet!"
"This card is generated by the system, what is the test?"
Wang Xu said: "Oh, then you are wearing liquid crystal contact lenses!"
"What it is……"
"Open your eyes and let me take a look first."
"Please don't make trouble unreasonably... When gambling in the virtual world, it is impossible to defraud the cheater on the hardware."
Wang Xu said: "Oh, do you think something like this will happen? For example, there is a hidden camera behind me peeking at my cards, and then your subordinates will communicate with you through private messages."
"There is no such thing...and the seat you are sitting in was chosen by you just now. How long are you going to mess around..."
Wang Xu touched his chin and made a mental struggle: "Okay, I believe it for now." He picked up the two cards in front of him, opened the hole cards, glanced at them, then shook his head and sighed, and put them back on the table.
Snake also looked at his trump card at the same time, but his expression did not change.
Xiaohua Hanadao: "Please bet on the plum blossom K side."
Snake pressed a few keys on the window next to him: "One hundred thousand."
Wang Xu sighed again, with a frown on his face: "Hey...I'll follow." He operated on the table, and then clicked another button: "Then...it's off!"
The snake's eyes almost popped out. How could you throw away two cards?! You actually got rid of a 2?! I'm a pair of kings! You're looking for death, aren't you?!
"What do you mean? Do you want to try your luck with me?"
Wang Xu smiled and said: "Didn't you say that luck is meaningless?"
Snake snorted coldly: "Don't forget, I have the backing of the casino, but you currently only have this million. I can lose a lot more money, but every time you SHOWAND, it means direct failure."
"Then follow me! What are you talking about?" Wang Xu's expression at this moment was just like when the famous lawyer Mr. Fang Tangjing said: "Hit me, you idiot!" It was obvious how badly he deserved a beating.
"Huh... no problem, I'll spend a million to see your hole card. The best it can be is a 2!" Snake also clicked on the SHOWHAND button, turned to Xiao Hua Hua and said: "Let's deal the cards."
For the next three cards, Snake got all loose cards, while Wang Xu got a pair of 6s and a 10.
The snake opened his hole card himself: "I have a pair of kings, let me see your hole card."
Wang Xu shrugged and turned out a 10: "Look! Two pairs! YEAH!"
Snake looked at him: "You have a 10 in your hole, a 2 on the table, and then SHOWHAND?!"
Wang Xu said disdainfully: "Stop talking nonsense, I won, give me the money!"
As a result, the bet amount in front of Snake became zero, while Wang Xu's chips rose to two million.
"Do you think this kind of temporary luck can keep you winning?" Snake is not angry. In his opinion, this is just a matter of probability, and there is nothing to worry about.
Wang Xu rolled his eyes to the sky: "This is technology!"
"Okay, I will continue to learn your skills." The chips on the snake table increased again at this time, becoming the same as Wang Xu's two million.
Then came the second game. The development of this game was exactly the same as before. Snake got a pair of old men's heads at the beginning, a hole card, and an open card. And Wang Xu got a small 4 and an unknown hole card.
.
Everyone can basically guess what happens next, it’s happened again...
Five minutes later, Snake's bet amount became zero again, while Wang Xu's amount was four million.
"Brother Snake, I think you don't look too good. Do you want some pork liver to replenish your blood?" Wang Xu was so shaken that he almost fell apart with his arrogance.
Snake said: "There is no such food as you mentioned!"
At the beginning of the third game, something was different this time. On the card, Wang Xu got an ACE, and Snake had a 7. After both of them read the hole cards, Xiaohua said: "The ACE on the card calls for betting."
Wang Xu thought for a while: "Ten thousand."
Now Snake didn't expect that your boy has changed his gender. How can he call it this much if the cards are high? However, his expression remained calm: "What? Do you suddenly feel that your luck is gone?"
Wang Xu slapped the table: "Damn it! You dare to challenge me! You're gone!"
The corners of Xiao Huahua's mouth twitched: "You already called ten thousand just now..."
"What are you doing?! He didn't say whether to follow or not! I have decided to leave now, what happened?!"
Snake said: "Okay, I won't follow." He turned over his hole card and found a J.
The poker game continued like this. The styles of these two people were completely opposite. Wang Xu's playing style was very smooth. He never seemed to calculate the cards and played desperately. It gave people the impression that whether it was the opponent's cards or the
He didn't even bother to take a look at his own cards. He went against the rules and pressed down. After five cards arrived, he would reveal his hole cards. If he won, he would win. If he didn't win, he would lose.
As for Snake, although he keeps losing, he plays extremely reasonably in every hand. He will choose to follow the opponent based on the size of the cards, the possible suits of his opponent, his own trump card, and the probability of various pairs, etc.
Or don't follow.
It's just that today's poker game is very weird. According to Wang Xu's style of play, under normal circumstances, he would have lost everything. But now he has won 50 million chips, but Snake has lost until now, and has not even a single game.
win.
When Snake replenished his chips again, he said: "It seems that this is the last round, boy SHOWAND."
Wang Xu said: "If I lose, it will be the last round."
"Which game have you missed so far?"
"Tch...then which game have you not lost so far?"
Snake's face was almost distorted, and the expression was like all the anger that could be written on his face in this life was piled there. After today, he was paralyzed: "Deal the cards!"
Xiao Huahua's dealing of cards was the same as at the beginning, with neat and perfect movements. Before such an incredible card game, his fingers did not tremble at all. To be able to do this only shows that he has experienced many battles.
Even though he himself has some mood swings, his hands are always as steady as a rock. As the saying goes, a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and this bald man has a certain sense of being able to embroider even if he is bold, and he is both rough and fine.
In the last round, on the cards, Wang Xu had a 10 of spades, and Snake had an ACE of hearts. Snake showed no expression after looking at his hole cards, but Wang Xu didn't even look at his hole cards.
"ACE of Hearts speaks."
The snake's voice sounded: "Five million."
Wang Xu said: "How do you calculate it? One ACE is worth two million, and a pair is worth five million?"
Snake replied: "So, do you think my trump card is also an ACE?"
Wang Xu's tone suddenly became very cold, making people shudder: "I don't know, but there is a 51.90876351% chance of a pair among the five cards. If you get a pair in the first two cards,
Isn’t that worth five million? Anyway, I remember that in the five rounds just now, you got a pair with a higher card than me at the beginning, and you all chose to press 10% of the current chips, didn’t you?”
"I did underestimate you." Snake's face turned gloomy again.
"It's just that I underestimated you. Your acting skills in pretending to be irritated by me were indeed pretty good."
"Then your complacency and arrogance are just trying to trick you?"
Wang Xu stared into the snake's eyes: "I will cooperate with you in the whole performance."
"Hahahaha..." Snake laughed unexpectedly: "Then what will you do now? Continue SHOWHAND? I suggest you pick up your trump card first and see what you say?"
"No need, I'll follow." Wang Xu entered the chips: "Let's deal the cards."
This time, Snake got another ACE of clubs, while Wang Xu got a J of spades.
"Speak to a pair of Aces."
"Twenty-five million." Snake decisively entered the chips.
"You follow probabilities too much, so all your actions can be judged." Wang Xu said, and followed up on the chips.
At this time, the fourth card of the two people also arrived. Snake got another diamond ACE, and Wang Xu got the spade queen.
"Three ACEs speak."
The snake immediately said: "SHOWHAN."
Wang Xu still didn't look at the hole cards: "I'll follow."
In the final round of dealing, Snake got a 9 of spades, and Wang Xu got a king of spades.
Snake smiled and said: "You are finished after all, boy SHOWAND."
Wang Xu said: "How can we see it?"
Snake said: "You want a flush, but unfortunately I have the 9 of spades, and according to your theory, I should have four aces, right? In other words, you can no longer have a flush! The 10 of spades, J
,Q,K, it’s meaningless, the most I can give you is a flush or a straight, is it bigger than my four?!”
Wang Xu leaned back in his chair and remained calm: "Then you must have four."
Snake's expression suddenly changed. This time he was really angry. He stood up and turned over his trump card: "That's right, I'm not four of a kind. My trump card is just a diamond 3. But you only have one pair at most!"
There is a 51% chance that you are a pair! My three aces will definitely beat you!"
"That's why I said, your actions are too easy to see through..." Wang Xu said weakly.
"Hmph...you obviously guessed wrong, but you are still bragging about it? Who is the second-rate guy now?" Snake retorted sarcastically.
"Just like you are pretending to be angry, from our first game on, all your actions at the card table are also disguises." Wang Xu sat there and explained calmly: "Your betting ratio,
With your deck, it is the same combination every time, two flushes are 5%, pairs above 10 are 10%, pairs below 10, possible straights, etc., those proportional combinations are completely
Consistently, as long as you bid first, you will follow this rule, and after I SHOWAND, you will also decide whether to follow or not based on things like suit and probability. It is as accurate as a machine, and you will show your hole cards after every round.
Show me. This is your technique. You are creating a false impression for your opponent, making him think he has mastered the rules of your game.
But I can say that you have almost no flaws. The only rule I have caught from you is also the only real rule, and that is - you will change your playing style in a crucial game!"
The snake's pupils began to shrink, and fear crept into his heart.
Wang Xu continued: "Therefore, I knew from the beginning of this game that you were not a pair of aces. But I deliberately told everything that had just happened, and then said some lines that only a second-rate guy would say. You suddenly became elated and thought that I had been fooled.
, thinking that I was clinging to the false rules you created and walked into a trap.
The time for you to SHOWHAND is when you get three aces. At that time, you are sure to win. No matter what the last card is, you will at least have three aces! When the last card comes down, you may even have a full house or four.
As for me, in your opinion, on this gambling table where skill is greater than luck, I have a 51% chance of being a pair. As for a straight flush, 0.001385169%. When you get the final 9 of spades, this probability becomes even more
Slim."
"You said so much, but it was just an afterthought after seeing my trump card. Stop being verbose and play your trump card!"
Wang Xu sneered: "Hmph... I have never seen this hole card myself, but I know that I can still beat you. Using your favorite probability of playing, it is 0.19% for a flush and 1.41% for a straight.
Zi, why, your expression seems to say that the probability is very low, right? Then let’s witness it together.”
He lifted up the hole cards on the table and threw them into the air. Snake and Xiao Huahua stared at the flying and falling poker cards, their expressions extremely shocked.
This is an ACE, the Ace of Spades.
Wang Xu's chips instantly jumped to 100 million.
Snake slumped down on the chair and murmured: "How... do you know... you obviously haven't seen it..." Although he said this, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
Luck always stands behind those who have faith, even if it is a gambler's unfounded confidence in winning.
Many years later, when Snake recalled this bet, he finally understood that in fact, gambling is nothing more than a game between two people. Wisdom, skill, courage, and even belief, these things determine the outcome. What is Wang Xu's trump card today?
, it doesn't matter at all, because before he opened the cards, the difference between the two was already decided.
Wang Xu didn't take this contest seriously. After he won enough money, he walked leisurely to the door with a lot of free snacks in his hand. He turned around and left a message: "This is called a special power."
