Plum Blossom Boy asked Xiao Lou, Ye Qi and other people who were not participating in the game to go to the lounge next door.
This VIP room has an inner and outer rooms. The outer room is spacious and has a card table that can accommodate up to 10 people. The inner room is a lounge, and the two rooms are separated by floor-to-ceiling glass. In this way, there is no need to play games.
You can go to the inner room to watch the game. You can see clearly what is going on at the card table without standing nearby and disturbing the people at the card table.
After bringing his teammates to the inner room, Xiao Lou found that snacks and fruits were thoughtfully prepared for everyone in the lounge, but no one was in the mood to eat, and their expressions were full of worry.
Xiao Lou took the initiative to comfort his teammates and said: "Poker games all have a certain element of luck. Besides, this is not a game of life and death. At worst, we will lose everything and we will make money again."
His mouthful of poisonous milk made Ye Qi couldn't help laughing: "That's right, if it doesn't work out, I can still go to the streets to sing."
Lao Mo said: "My decoration company can also start operating again."
Long Sen said: "I wonder if there is a shortage of sports school coaches here? Or, I can be a fitness coach."
Qu Wanyue said: "The income of a dance teacher should be pretty good."
Liu Qiao touched his chin thoughtfully: "I haven't graduated from college yet. If I go to a pharmacy for an internship, will anyone want it?"
Xiao Lou was dumbfounded by everyone's comments: "It shouldn't be as miserable as working together, right?"
After chatting for a while, everyone felt more relaxed. Ye Qi said: "In addition to luck, the key to poker is playing skills and psychological quality. I am not very good at playing, but I have seen the World Championship of Texas Poker online before, and those professional cards
They are very calm with their hands. No matter what, the psychological quality of Mr. Shao and Captain Yu must be first-rate, no worse than these rich men."
Xiao Lou agreed: "So, don't be too pessimistic, let's watch them perform."
At this time, Shao Qingge and Yu Hanjiang were already sitting at the card table.
The plum-blossom boy put on white gloves, obviously he would be the dealer himself in this game.
He introduced everyone present in turn - No. 1 Li Mo, the richest real estate developer in the card world; No. 2 Miss Zhang is a capable woman with short hair and the boss of an Internet technology company. Both of them are young and wealthy.
for.
No. 4 is a slightly overweight middle-aged man. His family is in the clothing business and he belongs to the rich second generation. No. 5, a smart man wearing glasses, is the boss of a film and television company in the entertainment industry; No. 7, a curly-haired woman who is fashionably dressed, is the boss of a first-line luxury brand.
; No. 8 is the leader in the e-commerce industry. The age of these four is estimated to be over 40 years old.
Yu Hanjiang sits in seat 3, and Shao Qingge sits in seat 6.
The game starts and it’s turns to be the banker.
The club boy said: "In this game, each chip represents 1 million, the small blind is 2 chips, the big blind is 4 chips, and the banker takes turns. In the first game, No. 1 is the banker."
According to the rules of the Texas Hold'em game, the dealer does not need to raise in the hole card circle. The first player to the dealer's left (clockwise) places the small blind bet, and the second player places the big blind bet. "Blind bet" means you
You have to place a bet before looking at the cards, and it all depends on luck. This rule is also to avoid the situation where everyone's cards are poor and there is no bonus for collectively discarding cards.
With the existence of blind bets, even if everyone's cards are poor and all hands are discarded, the dealer can still win the blind bet.
After the blind bet, everyone is dealt their hole cards. After reading their own cards, the players after the big blind will take turns clockwise to express their opinions: fold, follow or raise. The call must be equal to the previous player's raise.
Higher than the previous player.
In each round of the game, the big blind is the last person to make a statement.
In the first round, No. 1 is the banker, No. 2 is the small blind, and No. 3 Yu Hanjiang is sitting in the big blind position.
In the hole card circle, everyone got two hidden cards that only they could see. Xiao Lou and the others couldn't see everyone's cards from a God's perspective in the lounge next door.
Yu Hanjiang's expression was very calm, while Shao Qingge smiled and looked very relaxed.
Position 2 pushed 2 chips to the middle of the table, and Yu Hanjiang calmly threw 4 chips into the prize pool.
On the flop, three community cards were revealed on the table, namely 5 of clubs, 7 of hearts, and 9 of hearts.
Such a public card may have many types of suspended cards, such as a straight of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or someone already has 2 hearts in his hand and can make a 5-heart flush. Or, someone may
If you have a pair of 5, 7, and 9 in your hand, you can make a trip with the cards on the table.
In this situation, those with good cards will definitely follow the bet.
Sure enough, sitting in seat 4 next to Yu Hanjiang, the fat middle-aged uncle calmly paid 4 million gold coins.
Position 5 was also a middle-aged man wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. He pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "Add." After that, he pushed 8 chips into the bonus pool and raised the amount to 8 million gold coins.
Shao Qingge at No. 6 simply folded, and the curly-haired woman at No. 7 folded.
Position 8 was a bald man whose head almost reflected light under the crystal chandelier in the room. He said calmly: "Follow."
Another 8 chips.
Dealer No. 1 expressed his position. Li Mo looked calm and whispered: "Add, 1200."
Position 2 folds.
When it was Yu Hanjiang's turn at No. 3, Xiao Lou nervously calculated the prize pool in his mind - small blind 200, big blind 400, No. 4 followed with 400, No. 5 added 800, No. 8 followed 800, No. 1
Add 1,200, and the current total bonus pool is 36 million.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Although the exchange ratio between gold coins and RMB was 100:1, it would still be 360,000 yuan in RMB.
This is just one game.
The world of rich people is too scary. I wonder what Captain Yu will do? Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang anxiously.
Yu Hanjiang calmly chose to fold.
Although you will lose the 400 blind bet you just placed if you fold, it is still better than losing more than calling.
There is a saying that "losing less means winning more". When playing this game, be sure not to be impatient and play emotional cards. In the first round, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge all folded on the flop, and the remaining big players continued to fight.
.
On the turn, the club boy turned over the fourth card, 3 diamonds.
At this time, the call amount has reached 1200.
No. 4 frowned and folded; No. 5 folded, leaving No. 8 to choose to follow 1200, and Li Mo continued to follow.
On the river, the club boy revealed the last community card: club 2.
No. 8 smiled helplessly and gave up.
Li Mo automatically won. He calmly turned over the cards in his hand and found two 7s.
The public cards include: 5 clubs, 7 hearts, 9 hearts, 3 diamonds, 2 clubs, and Li Mo made a trip of three 7s.
Bald No. 8, who folded, had two hearts in his hand. He obviously wanted to bet on a flush of hearts, but unfortunately he ended up missing one.
Li Mo got 60 chips this time.
Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Yu Hanjiang actually got two kings, and Shao Qingge got a, 9. The initial cards were good, but they still chose to fold.
In the second round, No. 2 was on the banker, and Yu Hanjiang’s small blind bet was 200.
When they expressed their stance on the flop, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge folded again.
In the third round, No. 3 Yu Hanjiang took the banker position and also folded, followed by Shao Qingge.
The fourth game, the fifth game...
After a round of the wheel, the teammates observing in the inner room discovered that Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge actually gave up 8 rounds in a row! Moreover, each time they gave up directly when only 3 public cards were turned over on the flop -
- Could it be that they were so unlucky today that their trump cards turned out to be super bad every time?
The teammates felt a little uneasy.
But Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge at the card table looked as usual. The former still had a calm expression, and the latter kept a smile on his face, assuming the attitude of "Boss, you guys are just having fun, I'll just watch the show."
Ye Qi couldn't help but asked: "Are they too stressed that they dare not raise their bets to compete with the big guys?"
Qu Wanyue sighed softly: "The world of rich people is really scary. After playing eight games, Li Mo has won the most. I did the math and he has won hundreds of chips, one million for each! I dare not
Imagine.”
Long Sen smiled bitterly and said: "If it were me, I would be shaking just sitting there. One game has tens of millions of gold coins. This is like playing a game and you can buy a villa!"
Xiao Louwen said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Captain Yu and Mr. Shao probably didn't dare to raise the bet because they were under too much pressure. They must be observing their opponents."
Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou: "What does Professor Xiao mean?"
Xiao Loudao: "When you play cards with these people for the first time, you have to find out their style. There is no need to play too hard in the first few games. Based on my understanding of Captain Yu, even if he gets good cards, he may discard them. And Shao
General...Although he usually plays cards very unrestrainedly, this time he is facing a big boss whose financial strength far exceeds ours. He is too unrestrained. If he loses all his chips, he will play very passively."
The simple truth is that if others know that you have a maximum of 20 chips in your hand, then they can directly raise 20 and force you to allin. If your cards are even slightly worse, you will lose all your cards.
At present, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge only received 100 chips from the club a. Even if all the deposits in the bank card balance were exchanged, the maximum amount would not exceed 500 chips. The game takes four hours, and the pace of Texas Hold'em is very fast.
It's fast, one game only takes 1-3 minutes.
In each round, the big blind and the small blind are increased by 2 and 4. If you don't have your own big and small blinds, you can just fold after reading the hole cards, so you don't have to lose money.
Therefore, although the banker played 8 consecutive games in one round and they folded 8 consecutive games, they seemed a little timid and did not dare to compete with the big guys, but Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge actually only lost once each.
, the small blind, which is a total of 12 chips.
They still have a lot of chips in their hands.
It's still a long time, I'll call you from 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock, it's four hours, there's no need to rush.
Seeing that Xiao Lou's mentality was very stable, his teammates gradually felt relieved. After all, the one who knew Yu Hanjiang best in the team was Xiao Lou. He felt that Team Yu was fine and everyone believed in his judgment, and Team Yu's expression was indeed very good.
Calm.
In the second round, it was Li Mo's turn to take charge again.
Li Mo glanced at Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully. Would the handsome man who was always sitting like a statue continue to fold? He smiled at Yu Hanjiang and said: "Is Mr. Yu's luck so bad today? He has folded 8 rounds, right?
.”
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "It's really a bit bad. Every time I get bad cards like 3 or 4."
Li Mo shrugged noncommittally and said, "I hope you and Mr. Shao will have better luck in the second round. We don't want you two to watch the show all the time."
The man with No. 5 glasses said jokingly: "I also gave up three rounds in a row. Why doesn't Mr. Li care about my cards?"
Li Mo smiled and said: "After all, this is the first time Mr. Yu and Mr. Shao have met. You, old fritter, won me so much last time, and I'm going to make you spit it out today."
No. 5 chuckled and said: "Then it depends on whether Mr. Li is lucky today."
Several people were joking casually. They must have played cards frequently and were familiar with each other.
Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge looked at each other.
After eight consecutive games of observation, the two of them already had an idea of their opponents on the card table.
No. 1 Li Mo plays very steadily, and will fold when his hand is not good. Usually when he calls, his hand is very good, and he can often win. This scheming man can definitely count cards and calculate probabilities.
Is the biggest winner so far.
The short-haired young girl No. 2 and the curly-haired middle-aged woman No. 7 are both more cautious in playing cards. They are second only to Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge in the number of times they discard their hole cards immediately. The decision to raise is also based on the cards in their hand.
No. 4 and No. 5 have a similar style. It depends on the situation in two rounds, and if something goes wrong, run again. They rarely go to the last round, and most of them do it on the turn - that is, when the fourth community card is revealed.
Discard.
Bald No. 8 is the most unrestrained player in poker. He loves to gamble on luck. As long as his hand is slightly better, he will raise and follow the bet. He can keep betting until the last round. It is common to lose dozens of chips in a round. He is completely "I have money".
The attitude of "Don't be afraid of losing if you try more".
Xiao Lou's guess was correct. Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge were indeed observing the players on the card table to find out the details of these people.
In the second round, Li Mo was the banker and Yu Hanjiang was the big blind.
When three community cards were revealed in this round, Shao Qingge called for 400, and the following people also followed, including Yu Hanjiang.
The cards on the table are 7 of spades, 8 of spades, and 9 of diamonds.
This community card itself is a three-in-a-row straight. Whoever gets 5, 6, or 10, J can directly make a straight. Once someone gets 2 spades, they can also wait for the fifth spade to make a flush.
All 8 people followed the bet, which means that everyone has the potential to get a big card from their hole cards.
Li Mo glanced at Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge. The two theatergoers finally participated in the game. As the biggest winner at present, Li Mo's chips piled up into three hills in front of him. He wanted to see what these two people would do next.
How to play when you come down.
On the turn, the dealer revealed the fourth card: the ace of clubs.
The appearance of this card makes the card types more complicated. If someone's trump card is a pair of aces, and a club ace makes a trip, it is also considered a big card. However, a flush is greater than a straight, and a straight is greater than a trip... to make a trip.
People may not dare to follow the cards in such a situation.
This is when you need to be in a good mood.
Fatty No. 4 followed 400, No. 5 followed 400; Shao Qingge, No. 6, folded, Woman No. 7 folded, and Bald Uncle No. 8 started playing wildly again - directly doubled and added 1,200!
When it was Li Mo's turn to speak, he deliberately increased the raise amount: "2400."
The man counted 24 chips with his long fingers and gently pushed them into the prize pool, then looked at Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully.
Li Mo was deliberately putting pressure on today's newcomers. The number 2 behind him folded directly. What surprised him was that when the handsome new guy saw that he had added 2400, he didn't even frown, his expression remained the same.
Calm as usual: "Follow."
Yu Hanjiang also counted 24 chips and threw them into the prize pool.
On the river, the last public card was revealed by the club boy - the 9 of spades.
The current public cards on the table are: 7 of spades, 8 of spades, 9 of diamonds, ace of clubs, 9 of spades.
There are so many cards that can be formed, including three of a kind, a straight, a flush, a four of a kind, and even a straight flush!
There are 5 people still at the poker table, and the player with the big blind starts to express his position.
No. 4 thought for a while and folded.
Number 5 then folds.
This is what Yu Hanjiang expected, because 4 and 5 are not particularly competitive styles.
Number 8 was different. His hand should be good, so he simply raised the bet: "Let's give it a round number, 3000."
When it was No. 1's turn, Li Mo smiled and said: "Raise, 3600."
He looked at Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang was the last to speak.
The advantage of this position is that you can observe the opinions of the whole audience before making a decision; but it also has the disadvantage that after the person in front raises a higher amount, if he wants to follow the bet, he must also raise it higher and higher.
Before the hole cards were dealt, he bet 400 in the big blind.
On the flop, he called 400.
On the turn, he called 2400.
If he continues to call 3600 on the river, the amount he bets on this game will be as high as 68 million!
Xiao Lou's heart was in his throat, and the fists at his sides could not help but tighten slightly.
Yu Hanjiang's expression did not change. He glanced back at Li Mo and said calmly: "Follow, 3600."
He counted 36 chips and threw them neatly into the prize pool with a bang.
There was a neat sound of gasping in the lounge, and the teammates were obviously shocked by Captain Yu!
The plum-blossom boy said: "Please turn over the cards in your hand and compare the size of the cards."
There are three people left at the table.
The teammates who were watching in the inner room couldn't help but stand up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, and looked carefully at the cards on the table.
Community cards: 7 of spades, 8 of spades, 9 of diamonds, ace of clubs, 9 of spades.
Li Mo's hand cards were: 9 of hearts, 9 of clubs. On the flop, he already had a set of 999. On the last river card, another 9 was turned out, and he had a set of 9999, which is a very big card type.
.
Bald No. 8's hand is 5 of hearts, 6 of spades, and with the public cards, he has made a straight of 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
The last Yu Hanjiang.
Everyone looked at him nervously.
The man looked calm and gently opened the cards in his hand with his long fingers.
A 10 of spades, a jack of spades.
In other words, when only 3 cards were revealed on the flop, he had already made a straight of 7, 8, 9, 10, and j. When the 9 of spades was revealed on the river, he could replace it.
The original 9 of diamonds in the public card formed a pure spade of 7,8,9,10,j - a straight flush!
No wonder he had to follow the limit of 3,600 in the last round, because at this time, his card type was already the largest among the possible card types on the table!
The plum blossom boy said: "No. 3, Yu Hanjiang wins."
Yu Hanjiang calmly took the round chips piled up on the table in front of him.
In this round, he won a total of 200 chips!
Ye Qi almost jumped up with excitement: "Captain Yu is really awesome in this game, winning so much at once!"
When everyone saw the round chips piled high in front of Yu Hanjiang, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Lou let go of his fist, and a smile appeared on his lips - Team Yu was indeed reliable. He knew that with Yu Hanjiang's calm character, he must have got the biggest card type on the cards before he made a bet with Li Mo
.Otherwise, when the 9 of spades is revealed in the last round, there may be 9999 four of a kind on the field. If he does not have a flush, it will be quite risky to call 3600 again.
Yu Hanjiang folded his cards in 8 consecutive games and only called after getting the biggest hand. Yu Hanjiang's strategy can be said to be "stable as a mountain".
But in this round, there are too many big cards that may come out of the public cards - Bald No. 8 and Li Mo, No. 1, have become the fattest fish and will be eaten by Yu Hanjiang!
