The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 485
No matter what the prince does not farm, Rigao still sleeps with his qin in his arms.

Get up and spin some gold to buy, without making money in the world.

——"Quatrains" Lu Yan (Tang Dynasty)
……

A chime sounded, and the game started.

After throwing dice to compare the size, the first round is played by a mysterious gambler.

Each gambler places an ante, which is the same amount of chips—one tael of gold, and only the banker places an ante twice.

The dealer, Princess Yanguang, distributed two face-down hole cards to everyone in turn.Then the flop begins, and three face-up cards are dealt.The bright cards are the land card of the palace card, the bronze hammer of the tie card and the unit card.

The first round of betting began. Jia Qi was sitting on the left of the dealer seat. He took a look at his hole cards. The cards were small and not optimistic.Without hesitation, Jia Qi folded his cards decisively.

Jia Chang didn't even look at the hole cards, and threw chips worth a hundred taels of gold into the poker table to bet.Jia Chang's imposing manner and his heroic moves drew gasps from the audience.

Zheng Lu secretly looked at the bottom of his cards, it was a palace card of Chang San and Bench, it didn't match with the bright cards, so he had to discard the cards.

The cards in Fan Yang and Lu Zi's hands are not bad, one is the land card of the palace card, and the other is the red nine of the spot card, which has formed a pair with the land card in the clear card - double land.If there is a white nine in the next two cards issued by the croupier, two pairs of cards can be formed, and the chances of winning are great.

Fan Yang and Lu Zi smiled proudly, and also pushed a hundred taels of gold chips onto the table and called.

The mysterious gambler looked at the hole cards without any expression, and pushed a hundred taels of gold chips into the table and called.

The croupier Princess Yanguang started to turn the card, and dealt the fourth clear card—white nine.

Fan Yang and Lu Zi were overjoyed. Realizing that he might lose his composure, he quickly pretended to sneeze to hide his expression.

Only then did Jia Chang take a look at his hole cards, then pushed a hundred taels of gold chips into the table and continued to bet.

Fan Yang and Lu Zi were uncertain now, he looked up at Jia Chang, who looked arrogant.Looking at the mysterious gambler again, the gambler was expressionless.

Fan Yang and Lu Zi hesitated a bit. Although he was a pair, he was not a pair of Shuangtians. If the opponent could make up Shuangtians and add a pair of palace cards or a single card, he would be stronger than himself.If you re-raise, once you lose, you will get 200 taels of gold!This money is enough to buy a big house in Chang'an.

Fan Yang and Lu Zi couldn't take it anymore, and kept wiping the sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead with his hands.

Seeing that Fan Yang and Lu Zi did not place a bet for a long time, the audience booed everywhere.

Under pressure, Fan Yang and Lu Zi stomped his feet and pushed his hole cards into the center of the table—discarding them.

The mysterious gambler remained indifferent, and followed Jia Chang to bet, pushing a hundred taels of gold chips onto the table.

The croupier Princess Yanguang started the river card and dealt out the fifth clear card - flat eight.

Jia Chang looked at his hole cards again, then raised his bet, and pushed 500 taels of gold chips onto the table again!Then he looked at the mysterious gambler contemptuously.

There was a commotion on the field!Everyone whispered to each other and decided that Jia Chang had two pairs of big cards.

The mysterious gambler smiled, pushed 500 taels of gold chips into the table, and called.

"Draw the cards!" The croupier, Princess Yanguang, said to the two in a calm voice.

Jia Chang turned over his hole cards, a pair of two.

The mysterious gambler also turned over his hole cards, a winning card, a bent eight, and the revealed cards just formed a double tie and a mixed eight pair.

"Double double draw, single card small miscellaneous eight. The first group wins, the latter group loses - this round is a draw!" The dealer Princess Yanguang announced loudly.

The surrounding audience was in an uproar, and there were many discussions.

Fan Yang and Lu Zi were very annoyed, knowing that his cards were Shuangdi and Zajiu, if he persisted, the thousand taels of gold on the table would be his own.

Seeing Fan Yang and Lu Zi's annoyed expression, Bai Fu said to Ji Qianqian: "It seems that the card in this person's hand is relatively big?"

Ji Qianqian said with a smile: "Young master of the Lu family, he looks like a gambler who has no experience. This kind of layman often only pays attention to his own cards, and sees what kind of combination his hole cards and the revealed cards can form after the revealed cards are dealt." big name.

For novices, this is of course understandable.But to become a professional gambler, you must learn to calculate the opponent's hole cards, and guess what is the largest card composed of the sequentially appearing cards and the opponent's hole cards?
Remember, as long as your cards are better than your opponent's, or let him think so, you can win, it doesn't have to be a big card.

In addition, learn to fight wits and courage with your opponents. You must be able to quickly analyze the situation of your opponents: who plays the second card, who folds when encountering an attack, who bets when they get a card, and who holds a weak hand And calling big bets when holding cards, who bluffing will work, who bluffing, etc. "

Bai Fu was taught, and asked: "If a novice like me enters the game, what should he pay attention to?"

"You?" Ji Qianqian looked at Bai Fu, her eyes were quite playful, and she said with a smile: "There is a specialization in art, and Bai Shaoxia is not afraid of being greedy? There are many ways in the gambling world, and they are broad and profound. You can't just learn it if you want to." It's done."

Seeing Bai Fu politely asking for advice, Ji Qianqian said with a smile: "Well, I'll teach you a few tricks. However, in the future, it's enough to socialize and play occasionally, but don't play like others and lose all your pants." After that, With hot eyes, he flirted with Bai Fu.

Princess Qingluan suddenly felt ashamed, and found an excuse to leave quickly.

Seeing Princess Qingluan leave, Ji Qianqian said: "For beginners, if they want to win, the best strategy is to start with a high hand and only play the largest five hands. If the first two hole cards cannot form the Supreme Treasure, Shuangtian , Double land and other five big hands, discard the cards decisively, and only play with good cards.

First of all, only play five big hands to ensure that you win more than you lose.Playing cards does not guarantee to win all hands, the key is to win more than lose.

Even if you have a pair of Shuangtians in your hand, not every one wins.But assuming that Shuangtian wins two of the three hands, and three people see the bottom of each hand, your winning rate will be four times higher than others.In other words, if you win two hands, you will win four people's money; if you lose one hand, you will lose a share of money.

The most money lost in Pai Gow is the call, especially the cards that are obviously going to lose.For example, one person's hole card is a pair of Shuangtian, and the other has a pair of Shuangtian. The board is full of palace cards, and both of them will raise to the bottom.But it is obvious that Double Sky has a much higher chance of winning, four times higher.

Therefore, even if you hold a big card, you must be careful of your opponents and give up when you give up.Otherwise, if you hold on to good cards and don't let go, you may lose all your chips in one hand. "

Bai Fu was taken aback, and said, "So simple?"

Ji Qianqian smiled and said: "It's that simple! But don't underestimate this method, in fact it is not easy to play only five big hands.

First of all, be patient and endure loneliness.

There are not many opportunities for five big hands to appear, and there may be two to four hands every hour.In this way, after a game, your chances of touching the cards are much less than other players at the same table.For players who take gambling for entertainment, it is difficult to experience the exciting feeling of gambling.

Many gamblers see other people winning money with small cards such as benches, copper hammers, and miscellaneous nines.

So, playing only five big hands is not easy to do.The key is, what is your purpose in the end?Looking for the thrill of winning money with bad hands?The superiority of being more cunning and clever than others?Or do you want to win solid money at the table? "

With a thought, Bai Fu thought of what Master Wang Zhongsi often said when he was teaching the art of war: "It is the general's huge character flaw that he can't wait!"

In an instant, Master Zhongsi's majestic and loving face appeared in front of his eyes: "Fu'er, waiting is also part of the battle, and it is a very important part. Many times, waiting is the best strategy. You must be able to wait.

Some people can't wait, and always think that waiting means inaction, so it's easy to 'do anything wrong'.

If you don't fight, you will always have a chance to fight.Defeated and dead, there is no chance at all.

The grandson of the military sage said "win first and then fight", and fight again when you have a chance to win.Don't fight if you don't have a chance to win.It can be seen that there are very few cases of war, and most of them choose not to fight.

In a battle, it is necessary to seal the throat with a sword, and it depends on the battle.For example, Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty quelled the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

Learn to wait, learn not to fight, is the real hero.All real generals understand one truth: if you don't die, you won't die! "

……

A ray of light appeared in Bai Fu's tiger eyes, and Ji Qianqian's heart trembled secretly.

Ji Qianqian continued: "The three points of the position, the size of the hole cards, and the mentality are the keys to success.

Let me talk about the location first.The dealer is always the last one to play, so the dealer can see the reaction of other opponents to the cards and has a positional advantage.

The player to the left of the dealer is the first to play the card and has a disadvantage in position.That is to say, the later the position, the later the card is played, the more advantageous it is.When you are in early position, you need a very strong hand to bet, as players behind you may raise and reraise.

Second, you must learn to count cards and infer the odds of your own cards. When the odds are small, you must discard cards decisively and never call with weak hands.

If a game really doesn't work out, trust your instincts, which are usually correct.If it's obvious you're going to lose, don't try to be aggressive.A strong man holds his wrist, and when he breaks, he breaks.

Conversely, if the odds of winning are greater, don't be bluffed by your opponent, and fold easily.

Third, when you are on the gaming table, you should try to be as expressionless as possible, so that your opponents cannot guess whether your cards are good or bad based on your demeanor and expression.

Momentum is also very important. Big momentum wins big money, and small momentum wins small money. Without momentum, you can only get beaten.Dare to raise when you have the best hand, take advantage, be aggressive, and put pressure on your opponent.

Fourth, carefully observe the cards, observe the reaction of each opponent, and always know what the opponent is thinking. What cards do you think he has? What cards do you think he thinks you have? What cards do he think you think he has? But don’t be fooled Deceived by some tricks of the opponent.

In conclusion, take your opponent's big bets and raises seriously, as most professional gamblers don't bluff.

Conversely, if you understand your opponent's mentality, you can also use your opponent's weakness to bluff them.A newborn calf has the advantage of a newborn calf, that is - no one knows what your real brand is!
