NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"with!"

Carbone changed his usual laziness, put on an irritable expression, and was the first to reach out, pick up the hole card, turn it over and throw it onto the gambling table.

Snapped!

9 of Diamonds

At the same time, on both sides of him, Andy was also excitedly throwing the poker cards in the same posture, and put his Queen of Clubs on the table.

Only Phoenix silently and gently turned out a 3 of spades, causing the audience to sigh and mock again.

When it comes to gambling, you can’t win simply by using your power to overpower others.

"Commander, if you lose this game, you will have to pay us both 16 million chips each, for a total of 32 million chips."

Looking at the Queen of Clubs, Queen of Hearts and Queen of Diamonds dealt to him by the official, Andy, who was holding three of a kind in his hand, looked at the scattered cards on Carbon's side, and then looked at the 3 of Spades, 8 of Spades and J of Spades in front of Phoenix. He couldn't help but smile.

Without a straight, the only way for this commander to win the trips he has is with a flush.

However, without considering other players' hand types, the probability of getting a flush by drawing it yourself is approximately 0.8%, while the actual probability is much smaller than this value.

To put it another way, this means that his minimum winning rate is 99.2%.

99.2% versus 0.8%, how can you lose?

"Raise?"

Taking an Ace of Spades from the official, Phoenix placed the four spades neatly on the table, his face as calm as if he was playing the card game he played as a child.

"Shall we each add four more?"

Also add???

Mr. 99.2% suddenly shrank his pupils and looked at the 0.8% madman's eyes, which were the same color as the chips. His thoughts suddenly returned to the scene when he watched the exhibition match of MMR Affiliated High School.

He remembered.

This guy was planning to go to H District for rescue, and when he raised his gun to shoot down the drone on the grounds of confidentiality, he used the same expression he has now.

The kind of expression that didn't show even a hint of fear.

Under that rude and unreasonable gaze, Andy's heart instantly went from high tide to low tide.

No, not possible!

99.2 vs 0.8! The advantage is mine!!!

"Add four if you want! I'll raise my bet to 16 million, and I'll bet your 64 million!!!"

"Well, give me the money then."

After witnessing Andy's successful transformation from a human to a dog, Phoenix stood up with satisfaction and said to the little white rabbit beside him:

"Please help me collect the money, Ms. Blanche. I'm going to go to other places first."

After saying that, the man didn't care what Miss Rabbit thought, he walked out of the crowd and strode towards the limited betting area.

There, there was a 1.9-meter-tall bald man who had just finished a thrilling gambling game. At this moment, he must be waiting for him to arrive.

And behind him,

The middle-aged card official elegantly turned over the last card belonging to position one.

To the astonishment of Andy, Carbone, Blanche and dozens of others, he respectfully slid the card to the end of the four spades.

——Five of spades, a spade flush.

……

……

[Done. According to the surveillance information given to me by the ghost sisters, I have already compiled and rendered the behavioral data model of the people at that table.

Rameau Haig's gambling skills were average, and he lied a total of thirty-seven times, thirty-two of which were with his eyes drooping, and he changed his sitting position five times.

He likes to move his elbows when he is nervous and looks at his cards when he is excited. Every time he wants to raise the bet, his sentences will be longer, usually more than twenty-seven words, and basically remain between thirty and fifty-six words.

Besides, the total chips of the eight people at his table only amounted to 12.15 million. If you were willing to bring in 22 million, they would have no reason to refuse.

【Yes, thank you for your hard work.】

The man happily pulled out the wooden chair at the gambling table, and under the gaze of everyone, he sat down at seat number five, nodding gently to the gamblers present.

"Play two?"

Chapter 134 Why Not Cry?

【?3,?7,?3,?Q,?J】

[Q, K, K, 8, 2]

【?9、?6、?4、?4、?6】

【?5,?A……】

The warm and classical light conceals the darkness and ugliness on the gambling table. Every shuffling action of the card official will change the final card pattern that appears above the heads of all the players in Phoenix's field of vision.

Thanks to the fact that Gold Coin Battle is the most upscale casino in Ark, every time a new player joins the table, the card official must open a new deck of cards to prove that there are no problems with the gambling equipment on this table.

The order of the new cards is complete, and the thickness of each card is basically the same. Therefore, Anik only needs to deduce based on the complete order of the cards and the thickness of the cards cut during shuffling, and he can determine the final type of cards each player will get at the moment the shuffling is completed.

No matter how dazzling the card official's shuffling techniques are, in the face of artificial intelligence, this pitiful amount of computing power is not even one billionth of the chip's computing power.

That's why Phoenix didn't even bat an eyelid when he and Andy bet up to 64 million.

From his perspective, the winner and loser are known before the cards are dealt.

All that remains to be done is acting.

The frustration of deliberately losing, the calmness after successfully winning, the fake moves when thinking about the card pattern, all the drama Phoenix did was just to mobilize the gamblers' fluke mentality and desire to win.

"Raise the bet, fifty thousand."

Considering that the players at this table were not wealthy and the average chips were only around one million, someone considerately asked Blanche to exchange several stacks of "change" for him and generously scattered these metal chips on the gambling table.

"Brother, you're brave enough."

Ramo Haig, who had won 120,000 in half an hour, patted his shiny forehead generously, held the straight in his hand and laughed:

"How about this, I'll also add 50,000 to play with you guys. After all, we all work in the headquarters. If you lose, just treat me to a meal."

[Forty words, he moved his elbow, looked at the cards twice in twelve seconds, and his subconscious mind probably wanted to raise the bet.]

With Anik's auxiliary reminder, Phoenix first glanced at the straight of [?10, ?9, ?8, ?7, *?6] above Hager's head, then raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and moved his own cards up and down with his thumb.

【?3、?3、?3、?5、*?5】

Three of a kind and two full houses is a bigger card than a straight.

and so……

Should I win or lose?

Be aware that the rules for limited betting and no-limit betting are slightly different.

Because limited bets are played in smaller amounts, half of the betting chips must be thrown into the chip pool when the cards are collected.

Compared with unlimited betting, which can easily result in a closing loss of 80,000, 160,000, or 320,000, limited betting without deliberate follow-up bets usually results in a closing loss between 10,000 and 60,000, and it is rare for the closing loss to exceed 80,000.

Phoenix thought distressedly, fearing that he would scare the bald guy away if he won too much all at once, and also worried that he would deliberately lose too much to him, causing him to suddenly have a brain pump and quit while he was ahead.

After all, his goal is not as simple as winning all the money from this thing.

Here, the man was thinking about how to control the heat.

Over there, Bran and a few other spectators also looked very focused.

In their eyes, Haig is holding four cards in his hand at the moment, [?10, ?9, ?8, ?7], while the other seven people's cards only have three Js and one 6. Therefore, it is very likely that Haig's hole card is 6, and there is also a possibility that it is J.

It's probably a straight, so the probability of it being a bluff is not high.

As they thought this, they turned their attention to Phoenix's four public notice boards: [?3, ?3, ?3, ?5].

Three of a kind is supposed to be an excellent hand. The lowest hand is three of a kind, the next highest is a full house, and the best hand is four of a kind. Moreover, three of a kind is a public card, which usually forces many players to give up their chips and leave the game early.

But the problem is that the last Spade 3, Spade 5, and Heart 5 have already appeared on other players' cards. This means that Phoenix's four-of-a-kind possibility is directly reduced to zero, and the three-of-a-kind is suppressed by the straight in terms of card type...

The only two ways to beat Black Square are three of a kind full house with two, or simply betting that Black Square has no straight.

Raise? Or fold?

Snap, snap, snap—

Phoenix flipped the cards faster and faster, his expressionless face now showing a hint of anxiety. He said slowly, "Raise the bet, 150,000."

Force me to quit?

When Haig heard his famous colleague shout out a high bet of "150,000", the bald man's first reaction was that this madman wanted to use the bet to force him to pack up and leave.

If he continued to follow, his own chips would have to increase from 80,000 to 230,000 in one go. If he closed his hands at this point, his loss would be reduced to 40,000.

Should I add it?

Watching Phoenix picking the cards, Haig's breathing began to become heavy and rapid, because the adrenaline secreted due to tension stimulated his heart rate and rationality.

If he wins, with the opponent's 250,000 bets plus the 180,000 bets in the pool, he can get a total of 430,000 chips.

As long as you can win, it will be 430,000.

As long as we can win...

"Call me, I'll also bet 250,000."

He threw five chips of different sizes from the position of the card official in front of him. The veins on Ramo Haig's forehead bulged slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Raise the bet or show your cards?"

He gambled.

Bet that the other party is bluffing, bet that the other party does not have a gourd, bet that the other party...

"Collect the cards."

Without giving Haig much time to think, someone deliberately put on an irritable attitude and turned over all his public cards, then slid all his hole cards towards the official.

"continue."

……

……

"Sister, just come if you want, why are you dragging me along?"

Decker Lawrence, who received Andy's message, had a bitter face and followed his sister like a follower into the VIP channel of the Gold Coin Battle, muttering to himself:

"How can a woman find a man and bring her brother-in-law with her?"

"Hey~ I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be a lot braver now."

Hearing Decker's somewhat teasing complaint, Cormine Lawrence glanced at his younger brother without blushing or beating his heart, and said openly:

"If I came alone, my purpose would be too obvious."

"Uh……"

The younger brother, seeing his sister's cold eyes when she looked at him, immediately nodded vigorously like an obedient son.

“Ah… yes!

Right, right, right. Actually, I wanted to come to the casino, but I was afraid of being scolded if I came alone, so I asked you to come with me."

"Well, why don't you thank your sister? Where's the courtesy?"

"Thank you, elder sister!"

Seeing Comyn's satisfied smile, Decker walked into the elevator and then continued to carefully inquire about the woman's opinion.

"Sister, you're not really into her, are you?

Now, don’t tell me it was love at first sight. With that face of his, how could a woman fall in love with him at first sight?”

"Fancy him?"

The woman with her hands folded under her chest, not caring about the fact that her chest would be more prominent, snorted coldly and replied unhappily:

"Pick the tallest one among the short ones~ It's an investment in marriage anyway, so I might as well invest in a potential stock that I like.
