Chapter 54: Torment
After Aaron's gambling turmoil passed, Wuwei concentrated on starting the third phase of training. Now he is still skeptical about the third phase of training, and it is difficult to understand what it will do for him.
At breakfast the next day, Wu Wei said to Yang Yan, Robert and Alun: "From today onwards, I will follow the master's arrangement and start the third stage of training, I guess the reason why the master wants me to do this is mainly to exercise my self-control, so I hope that none of you will follow me, people can often control themselves under the supervision of others, and only when they are completely free to control themselves." In addition, I plan to schedule my trip to the casino between 3 p.m. and 3 a.m., which should be the time when the casino has the most guests. Speaking of this, Wuwei looked at Robert and Aaron sideways and said, "When I am not at home, please help me take care of Yanyan, please." ”
Yang Yan was very comfortable after hearing Wuwei's words, like a spring breeze caressing her face, making her so happy that her heart was drunk, she couldn't imagine that Wuwei, who was usually very arrogant, was still so careful, she said softly: "I'm not a child, I can do it myself, I don't need someone to take care of me." ”
"Don't worry, big brother, it's guaranteed to be better than what you take care of at home. Arun rushed to answer, after this ordeal, Aaron has indeed changed a lot.
Robert patted Wuwei's hand and admonished: "Wuwei, you have to be mentally prepared, this training seems to be unremarkable, but it is a hundred times more difficult than the second level, and you will be able to experience what I said after three days." It's also important to note that the World Series of Poker will begin after these three months, and you'll have to juggle some of your Texas Hold'em training during this time. It's best to go to a poker room and watch Texas Hold'em poker hands. ”
"Robert, how do you think I can improve my Texas Hold'em skills when I can't play?" asked Wu Wei, puzzled.
"I suspect that the real purpose of the master is to help you win the World Series. ”
Robert's words stunned everyone for a moment, and they didn't understand what he meant. Wuwei guessed that Robert was going to help himself again, and he hurriedly said, "Robert, please make it clear." ”
"Haha, I'm just guessing, not necessarily correct, just for your reference. The key to whether Texas Hold'em can win is not the quality of their hole cards, although some people have a bad deck of cards in their hands, they can still beat their opponents, mainly relying on two points, one is to have a good psychological quality, and the other is to be able to see through the opponent's psychology. These two points are indispensable. The master tells you to carry cash in the casino, but you can't bet, as you said, it exercises your self-control, and more importantly, you want to restrain your desires. When you can hide your inner desires, then at any time your opponent will not be able to guess you. A true poker pro is always an expression and there is no trace of emotion. Another aspect is that you are in the casino, only when you are not gambling can you observe others well, and only by observing other gamblers can you really understand the psychological changes of gamblers. The winner of the World Series in '06 was a psychologist, so mastering the psychology of your opponents is another key factor in your victory. Knowing each other and knowing oneself, this is where the invincibility lies. ”
Wuwei shook Robert's hand gratefully: "Thank you, thank you Robert! Every step I took was completed under the guidance and help of your friends, and I really couldn't have gone so far without everyone's help." With your help, I am confident that I will be able to achieve victory. ”
"Haha...... Wuwei, don't say it so touching, when did you become so emotional? I just said that you have to learn to be happy and angry, and immediately you will be emotional again. Remember, during these three months, you learn to wrap yourself up, and the outside world, whether it is great news or the catastrophe that the sky falls, has no effect on you. Before Robert could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Yan.
"Isn't that going to make Brother Wuwei turn into a cold robot? If he does this to us in the future, how can we stand it?" Yang Yan said unhappily.
"It's you who can't stand it, right? It's not us, haha......" Robert couldn't help but joke with Yang Yan, "Don't worry, each of us is multifaceted, just like a good actor, he can transform himself into any character in the play anytime and anywhere, but his inner nature can't be changed, and the inaction with you is still the original inaction." ”
Wu Wei suddenly said to Robert thoughtfully: "How do I think you are always guiding me in place of the master? ”
"Do you have that much skill to be your master?" don't forget that we Chinese believe in 'a teacher for one day and a father for life,'...... Robert jokingly said.
"Damn, wait here to take advantage of me, it turns out that you are so insidious. ”
"Hahaha......" Several people couldn't help but laugh.
That afternoon, Wu Wei walked into the casino with $30,000 in his arms. The first thing he chose was the big casino, because there were too many players in the big casino, and he would not attract the attention of the staff if he didn't watch or play, although he would not be kicked out of the casino, but it was always uncomfortable to be noticed.
The first thing Wu Wei went to was the New York casino, where a tall statue of Lady Liberty stood in front of the door, looking down on the weaving flow of people. The casino is still a big red high-end carpet, the main color in each casino is always red, it is said that red can make people excited, once people are excited, they will not be able to control themselves, the casino is really a variety of gamblers' minds have touched home, do not let go of any subtleties, the study of the psychology of guests, no industry can exceed the casino.
Although it is not yet the peak time, the casinos are already crowded, and there are many people gathered around each table, and these big casinos are full of people at all times, showing the charm of gambling.
Because Wu Wei had no specific goal, he wandered around the casino, walking from one gambling area to another, watching as he went, and finally arrived at the blackjack table, where there were also some tourist-like people standing around watching. Wu Wei stood in the loose crowd, watching the cards on the tables on both sides.
Blackjack tables are regulated, and non-bettors are not allowed to sit down, but can only stand by and watch. Wuwei didn't look at it for a few minutes, and there happened to be a card table next to it that ended with a boot of cards, and the staff began to change the cards, only to see that she made a habitual action, and showed her empty hands to the gamblers in advance. Pick up a new stack of cards in your hand, with your left hand casually, the cards are paved into an even fan, each card is equal to the distance, such a beautiful action is made by the dealer easily and casually, the posture is elegant and free, watching these skilled staff play cards is also a pleasure.
After the dealer shuffles the cards, he hands the player a yellow card and asks the guest to cut the card, and then a new round begins. Watching the dealer hand the cards to each customer, Wu Wei unconsciously counted the points of the cards in his heart. With only four guests sitting at the table, he counted the value of the eight cards with a glance at his eyes, and blackjack did not have any advantage for the gambler at first, playing entirely on his instincts and with the right strategy.
Looking at several players who placed bets, Wuwei suddenly remembered what Robert told him about the strategy of Taiwanese gambling god Dai Zilang to play blackjack. The correct strategy of playing blackjack is an important factor in winning, and these players are obviously violating the strategy of the God of Gamblers, and they are still asking for cards after fifteen o'clock. Wu Wei shook his head lightly, and secretly said in his heart that greed is a taboo in gambling, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and most people are defeated by their own greed.
One of the most important strategies for Dai Zilang to play blackjack is to never hit cards above twelve points (including twelve points), which is something that most players cannot do. Dai Zilang has explained in detail that the rule that less than or equal to sixteen points must be hit is very unfavorable to the dealer, and the chance of making up the "bust" from six to K is too great. The player does not hit after 12 points, and more often than not, the dealer has "exploded" in front of you. Since 12 points can be won, what is the difference between winning and blackjack winning? The reason why most people get 15 points and have to draw cards, because of lack of greed, the result is "burst" in front of the dealer, from this point it can also be seen that many players are defeated by themselves.
