my old life

Chapter 2128 Dilemma
Now everyone's respective cards are clear, except for one hole card, everyone can clearly see each other's cards.

In this way, you can clearly know what type of cards the opponent's cards can make up, so as to guess the role of the opponent's hole cards.

"Looks like I'm older now, so I'm lucky!" I teased with a smile while observing Mike's expression.

In fact, playing cards is a process of all-round competition. It is not only to compare the size of the cards in the hand, but also to guess the opponent's thoughts and cards, so as to formulate targeted methods.

My third card is an ace, and Mike's third card is a 7. It seems that his points are not high, and the possibility of trying to make a straight is very small.

Whether it's Stud or Texas Hold'em, cards of the same suit are all flushes, but now the cards in my and Mike's hands are all mixed suits, and there is no possibility of making a flush.

Jennifer was busy translating for Mike, and I was not in a hurry to wait quietly. Instead, I was interested in the handkerchief on Mike's chest.

I've never seen such a strange hand towel, it seems to be spinning out of the corner of my eye, but I can't see anything if I look directly at it...

"It's your turn." Mike said with a smile, so I said to myself that I'm not being polite.

"If there is no limit, I'll just play two chess pieces. It would be nice to win two of your chess pieces."

I have a feeling that Mike will probably fold this hand because I have a pair of jacks and the hand is very favorable for me now.

"Call." Mike chose to follow, and then Bai Xingchen would deal the fourth round of cards.

"Are you so confident and sure? This is the first card match just now. There is no need to worry."

After speaking, I motioned to Jennifer to translate. The language barrier is the biggest obstacle, but poker and numbers are common all over the world.

"Mike said that he is not in a hurry. He has a lot of time to communicate with you tonight, and it is an honor to meet you."

Jennifer translated Mike's words, and I nodded to express the same honor. The exchange of poker skills has no national boundaries.

The fourth card I got a six, Mike also got a six, now my card is JJA6, he is X376.

X is Mike's hole card. If the value of this hole card is smaller, he may really get a straight, so there is no suspense about killing my pair of jacks.

Bai Xingchen looked at me mischievously, as if he was helping secretly, but I knew he didn't understand this at all, after all, there is a specialization in art!

If Bai Xingchen could understand some thousand skills, then he would not believe that Mike has superpowers, in my opinion it is just some blindfolds.

"Take two more chess pieces, try your hand." I choose to bet evenly, this round is critical, and I have to wait till the last card.

"Two pawns with you, and add four more pawns." Mike took out six pawns at one time, and I had to raise after he raised to make it even.

Mike saw my worry and caution. It would be a pity if I folded my cards now, but it would be risky not to fold my cards.

I have to say that this guy is very experienced, and no clues can escape his eyes. It seems that he should be a quite professional poker player.

Once the fifth card is dealt, it is the moment to decide the outcome. Of course, there is another chance to bet. At this moment, I hesitated.

Although it's just a one-time sparring, and you won't lose a dime if you lose, it doesn't make sense to just lose like this.

Just then a few people entered the villa, I turned my head and saw Jones and the others, all of them were wearing bathrobes except Carrera.

It seems that this Carrera is always wearing a hoodie, lowering the brim of the hat and lowering his head, with his hands always in his pockets, feeling mysterious.

"Mike." Jones took the initiative to greet, and then several people came to the table.

The poker on the table is clear at a glance, and I am not in a hurry to make a decision, because some decisions cannot be reversed once they are made.

"Hush." ​​Mike made a silent gesture to signal others not to disturb, but he always had a smile on his face.

In my opinion, Mike's politeness is the rule. He is a man who understands the world and knows many things well.

As the saying goes, rich and powerful, generally the richer people are, the more arrogant they are. This principle is the same everywhere.

Mike is at most 30 years old, so young with such determination and mastery, he is beyond the mastery of everyone in this age group I have ever seen.

Everyone watched quietly. Now that the problem is in front of me, the vanity in my heart is also beginning to spread.

As the saying goes, the bold starve to death the timid, and now I am on the favorable side, there is no way I will not follow...

"Okay, I'll add four chess pieces."

Now that my hand is more favorable, I have no reason to fold and not play, and I am also preventing Mike from 'stealing chicken'!
Stealing chickens is tantamount to bluffing. No one expected that more than half of the total chips would be bet on the first hand. It seems that Mike intends to win or lose!

Seeing that I made a choice, Mike smiled. His smile is always mysterious, which makes people feel different.

In fact, it is not beneficial for me to decide whether to win or lose. I have not had time to steal cards and play welding and use thousands of tricks, and it should be the same for Mike.

In the first hand where neither party has an advantage, it seems to be a competition of luck. The test is the psychological contest of stealing chickens and the courage of bluffing...

etc!I've got the upper hand!

I am a trickster who is good at tricks, and Mike is a poker player who is good at playing cards. It would be unwise for me to have a showdown with him when I have no chance to make a move!

I was caught by Mike unknowingly just now because of my psychological weakness, and I was dragged into an unfavorable situation when I thought it was a favorable situation. It will definitely be more difficult in the future!

"Do you regret it?" Mike looked at me with a smile, as if he could see through my inner thoughts.

"How could it be? I'm waiting for the last card to come out. Stud if I have the chance!"

In the stud rules, Showhand can be played in the last round, which is the same as ALLIN in Texas Hold'em, that is, all-in.

In the game, no one knows what the result will be until the moment when the cards are drawn. Even if the opponent has AKQJ with red flowers, everything is possible before seeing the last hole card!
"I'm honored to fight you, please." Mike spoke very politely, but the more polite he was, the more sinister he was behind it!
As the saying goes, you are polite on the surface, but hide your murderous intention behind it!
Many people are very polite on the surface, but they will always stab people in the back, and even call people worthless... There are many people who are double-faced and three-faced!
"The last one, be careful!"

Bai Xingchen dealt the fifth round of cards, which is also the most critical card for Stud. This round can decide whether to showhand or not.

I didn't pay attention to what card I had, all my attention was on Mike's fifth card, which was a QUEEN!

I was secretly relieved when I saw a queen. As long as his hole card is not a queen, he can't beat me. My fifth card is a KING!

Now my hand is JJA6K, Mike is X376Q, and his bad hand makes me a little uneasy, because the pair of queens is just a little bigger than the jack!
I slowly took out a cigarette and lit it. I need a little time to think about the next card and how to deal with him...

Now no matter how many people are watching, I will not change my thinking and playing cards, because I still have the advantage!

I secretly calculated in my heart that if I risked it to the end, then I might get a triple or a double pair, which would have a better winning rate no matter what.

If Mike happens to get the queen when I can't get three of a kind or double pair, then this match will be completely lost...

The number of chess pieces in my hand is only enough for this hand, and there is still a fifth round of final betting. Looking at it now, Mike has no intention of playing a second hand with me at all.

If I get robbed in the end, then I have to bite the bullet, and I will be caught in a dilemma.

I don't even have the time and opportunity to use thousands of tricks. Luck alone is not the best choice for a cheater. Sometimes the luck of cheaters is often even darker!
But if I am asked to fold my cards now, it will be unreasonable... If I don't fold my cards, I will have no technical content at all if I lose.

I don't know why my intuition is not very good. I can't express this feeling but I can feel it. I always feel that something is not right...
