Nine hundred and forty-eight chapters with life in the stud
Is it finally the final battle?
The audience below saw that both parties seemed to have entered into a state of control and held their breath.
Muhammad glanced at Li Qi and saw his calm and calm expression. He was suspicious and said tentatively: "Faced with my pair of a's, the economic commander acted so relaxedly. It seems that he is sure of winning!"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "No, no, it's just because my chips are three times as much as yours. Even if you stud, if I lose you will be equal to me. So, I don't think I should be nervous now."
This was the advantage that Zhao Jingyan brought to him. Muhammad could only smile bitterly and said: "The economic envoy is right. Let's deal the cards."
This round comes down.
Muhammad's cards turned into ace of spades, ace of hearts, and 10 of spades.
Muhammad picked up the 10 of spades and said slightly proudly: "Fortunately, this 10 of spades was sent to me. Otherwise, I might not dare to continue playing."
Li Qi's cards are K of Spades, Q of Spades, and 9 of Spades.
Li Qi looked at the nine of spades and smiled bitterly to himself, "Brother, you jumped in line!" He said, "Who said it wasn't the case?"
"Talk to a."
Muhammad said: "It was already five thousand guan before, so this time it will be 10,000 guan."
Li Qi hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "I have already thrown six or seven thousand guan in front of me, so I don't care about this 10,000 guan. Follow me."
Muhammad frowned and said with a smile: "I already have the 10 of spades and the ace of spades. You can't have a flush. How dare you continue to follow."
Fuck! If you want to trick me, you think I am Zhao Huan! Li Qi shook his head and said: "You can't say that. Although I can't get a straight flush, I can get a flush. The maximum you can get is four or three.
Bring a pair, but the possibility is very small. And my probability of winning the flush is obviously much higher than yours. If I don’t follow this, then why am I sitting here? Wouldn’t it be nice to go home and take care of the kids?”
Muhammad laughed and said, "The economist is really funny." Although he said it with a smile, his face still looked very nervous, and he quickly took a few more beans and put them into his mouth.
Li Qi smiled softly and said: "Prince Saudi Arabia is really one step ahead. When he is so nervous, he still thinks about eating. To be honest, I am so nervous now that I can't even drink water."
Muhammad didn't understand why Li Qi always cared about him eating, but just smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Huan straightened his head, looked at the cards, and asked Li Bangyan at the side: "Prime Minister Zuo, who do you think will win this hand?"
Li Bangyan shook his head and said: "It's still clear at the moment, but it doesn't matter even if Li Qi loses. But for the Saudi prince, it's over if he loses. His Highness doesn't need to worry."
Zhao Huan nodded, feeling a little comforted in his heart. He read patiently.
Hong Tianjiu was also very curious when he saw it, and said to himself: "The opponent's hand is so big, and the eldest brother is only 1k, why are you still following me? That's my word. I won't follow, anyway, if it continues like this, even if it is
Even if you bet until tomorrow, the other party won't be able to win."
He lives in a family that makes a living from gambling. Although he is usually a jerk, he is still quite knowledgeable in this regard.
Fan Shaobai nodded frequently and said: "Xiao Jiu's words are reasonable. If I were Li Qi, I wouldn't follow him. Compared to the ante bet of ten guan, if you don't follow even the game of more than 100,000 guan, the other party can only act anxiously."
, there is no need to pursue the victory."
Chai Cong shook his head and smiled: "Xiaojiu, Shaobai, you are wrong to say that."
Hong Tianjiu asked: "What's wrong?"
Chai Cong explained: "Have you not noticed who the guests here are? The Prime Minister, the Grand Lieutenant, and others are all here, as well as envoys from various countries. Although your strategy is good, there are some rogues who will harm me." If the demeanor of the great country in the Central Plains were not like this, His Highness the Crown Prince would probably not get involved. Li Qi did this not only for the sake of appearance. He is an official of our Song Dynasty, so he naturally has to put our Song Dynasty at the forefront. "
Hong Tianjiu seemed to understand and said: "It turns out there is such a meaning in it."
Gao Yanei curled his lips and said: "Chai Cong, you think Li Qi is too great. He is a businessman, how can he be dissatisfied with the lack of money? I think he just wants to win more money. With this card, he must be You're trying to scare the other party, but I think it's just a big one."
Chai Cong snorted and said, "Why do you say so confidently in the office?"
Gao Yanei snorted: "Because when he used to play stud with me, he always loved to scare me. When I learned how to do it, he stopped betting with me. It's really hateful."
The other three people nodded to express their understanding.
The last round of cards was finally dealt.
Since the last card was face up, Li Qi opened a corner and took a look. After hesitating for a while, he took the fifth card as his hole card and revealed the original hole card, which was a jack of spades.
His cards are: K of Spades, Q of Spades, J of Spades, and 9 of Spades.
He was indeed betting on the flush at the beginning, but why did he change his hole card? Muhammad glanced at Li Qi's card, full of curiosity, and then looked at his own hole card, suddenly understood in his heart, and made An action similar to Li Qi's is to use the fifth card as the hole card and reveal the original hole card.
But when the audience saw his trump card, they immediately let out a burst of surprise.
It's exactly a diamond a!
His cards turned into three aces and a 10.
But their actions were incomprehensible to many people.
Zhao Huan asked in confusion: "Prime Minister Zuo, why are they doing this?"
"I don't know either." Li Bangyan shook his head and said to Gao Qiu: "Lieutenant, do you know?"
Gao Qiu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I think I understand."
"Dad, why?"
At some unknown moment, in Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu suddenly stood behind them.
Gao Qiu glanced at the two fools and said with a smile: "It's very simple, just to confuse each other."
"Confuse the other party?"
Everyone frowned, as if they were thinking of something, but they couldn't explain clearly.
Gao Qiu said with a smile: "The key to why Stud is so popular is this kind of psychological game. From the beginning to now, both sides have guessed the opponent's trump cards. In this case, it's a great fight. It was just luck. Li Qi changed his hole card. The purpose was to let the opponent not know whether his hole card was spades or another suit. If he directly showed the fifth card. If it was spades, it would most likely be a flush. .If it is 10, then it may be a straight. The other party can make the most accurate judgment based on his card.
The same is true for Saudi Arabia. Li Qi may have already guessed that his hole card is a. If he shows the fifth card, if it is a, there may be four aces. If it is 10, there may be three aces. Bring a pair so that Li Qi can make the most accurate judgment, but now Li Qi knows nothing about his hole cards. This game is getting more and more interesting, and the suspense will probably have to wait until the cards are drawn. Only then can we find out.”
Zhao Huan nodded when he heard this and said: "It turns out that there is so much knowledge in this stud." As he said that, he remembered his performance at the table and couldn't help but feel his face getting hot.
Gao Yanei nodded sharply when he heard this. He said with a smile: "Dad, you are really good. It's all obvious. I should have known this, dad. You should go and bet yourself. Why do you want to take advantage of Li Qi and lend him money?" What a shame.”
My precious son is really too honest. Gao Qiu blushed and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Sit back quickly."
I said dad is good, why isn't dad happy? Gao Yanei glanced at Brother Qiu in shock, but sat back obediently. Brother Qiu started to get angry, but he was also very violent.
Li Bangyan and other ministers lowered their heads and snickered.
Li Qi smiled softly and said: "Prince Saudi Arabia, now that we have reached this point, I think you don't need to think so much."
Yes! He can only beat me with a flush or a straight. If I give up, it will be even more difficult for me to turn over the remaining chips. If I don’t fight, I will have no chance. Muhammad frowned deeply. At this time, he had no choice but to win. Without thinking carefully, I unconsciously took out the small clay pot again, took out a few red beans, threw them into my mouth, ate them quickly, and gently rubbed my left chest with my right hand.
Li Qi saw that his face was sweating profusely and his hands began to tremble. He said with concern: "Prince Saudi, I see that you seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable. Why don't you take a rest first."
Muhammad waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your concern, Economic Envoy. I'm fine."
Li Qi nodded and suddenly looked towards the door, only to see Ma Qiao already standing at the door. Seeing Li Qi looking over, Ma Qiao pointed downstairs. When Li Qi saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Muhammad suddenly pushed out all his chips and said: "I'm done."
It seems that you are not very good at playing! If you just stud without thinking, maybe I will still be afraid of three points, but, haha, this red bean has already betrayed your trump card, you are definitely not pretending to hesitate. .Li Qi, who originally had some worries, was finally relieved and said with a smile: "I'll stay with you until the end."
As he spoke, he rolled out chips that were equivalent to Muhammad's, and then showed his hole card. When he saw it was a 5 of spades, he smiled and said, "Sorry, I have a flush. You can show your hole card."
Although Li Qi had a flush, it did not mean that he would definitely win. Therefore, at this time, all the audience's eyes were focused on Muhammad, and the bunch of idiots in Gao Yanei had already stood up.
When Muhammad saw Li Qi's trump card, his eyes opened sharply, and then he lay down on the chair, his left cheek muscles twitching slightly. Although he hadn't revealed his trump card yet, the result was already obvious.
"I lost."
After a while, he did not reveal his trump card and sighed.
"We won!"
Several people in Gaoyan immediately shouted excitedly.
"ah---!"
Muhammad suddenly grabbed his left chest with one hand, his eyes bulged, and his face became distorted.
Bang!
Before anyone could react, he fell directly onto the table.
Gao Yanei was completely at a loss. He scratched his cheek and said to himself: "I lost so much money that I fainted. This big food prince is not as good as a Yanei like me."
"Prince! Prince"
This incident made everyone in the audience stunned. The food officials immediately rushed forward.
"Damn it!"
Li Qi stood up suddenly and immediately shouted: "Maqiao, why don't you call Wei Shiniang up quickly?"
