On the third day of Wuwei's stay in the hotel, Zhou Gong finally came.

Wuwei, Robert, and Alan were all discussing the matter of participating in the competition in the living room of Yang Yan's suite, and when they heard the doorbell ring, Arun went over to open the door.

Zhou Gong walked in with a smile, Yang Yan was the first to jump up happily, rushed over and grabbed Zhou Gong's hand, and said excitedly: "You are here! Uncle Zhou Gong, I have worried Brother Wuwei in the past two days, I am afraid that you will not be able to come when you are old." ”

"Haha...... Why don't I come? There are a lot of things going on these days, so it's been delayed for two days, so why don't you rush here?" Zhou Gong smiled.

"Yan Yan, you let the master sit down first. The three of them hurriedly stood up, gave Zhou Gong the middle seat, and said respectfully, "Master, please take a seat." ”

After Zhou Gong sat down, he asked them, "Are you discussing participating in the poker tournament?"

"Yes, we're talking about it. Robert said preemptively.

"Okay, tell me what you're going to do. ”

Wuwei was a little anxious in his heart, and when he saw that the master came in, he didn't mention anything about passing the test, but asked about the World Series of Poker. But I couldn't open my mouth to ask first, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "Everyone means that I and Yanyan will participate in the competition, and Robert and Alun will record the situation of our competition throughout the whole process, summarize the lessons of the game at any time, and make adjustments in time." ”

"Uncle Zhou Gong, we are going to enter the top ten, what do you think?" Yang Yan asked Zhou Gong happily.

"Haha...... I think it's okay for Wuwei to make it to the top ten, it's hard for you girl. Zhou Gong told the truth.

Yang Yan pouted and said unhappily: "Why do you say that, isn't this a discourage from my enthusiasm?"

"Because you can't hide things as a girl, the things in your heart are written on your face, and you pouted as soon as I said it, and the other party can easily judge your hole cards from your expression, so it's okay to play with ordinary players, and it's definitely not okay to play against masters. ”

"Then I still won't participate in ......"

"You still have to participate, at least you can increase your experience, and you don't need any qualifications for this kind of competition, you can participate with 10,000 yuan. Uncle still supports your participation. Zhou Gong smiled and patted Yang Yan's hand and said.

"Uncle Zhou, how long are you going to stay this time?" Yang Yan hurriedly asked.

"I'm here to watch a poker tournament, which is the Olympics of gambling, so I'm not going to leave until it's over. ”

"Wow, that's great, so you can always guide Brother Wuwei. Yang Yan shouted excitedly. Wu Wei was also very happy to hear this: "I am more confident with the master here." ”

"Wuwei, you tell me first what you have gained during this time. Zhou Gong looked directly at Wu Wei and said.

Wuwei hurriedly lowered his head, avoided the master's eyes, and whispered, "I violated the master's rules and participated in a Texas Hold'em game." I'm sorry for the master's cultivation and disappointed the master's expectations. ”

"You did the right thing, do nothing, a person can put down personal interests at a critical moment, go all out for the interests of the nation to fight, this is our responsibility, you defeated the cultural relics smuggling group, every year from our country smuggling a large number of cultural relics, to our country immeasurable losses, you won tens of millions from their hands, not only weakened their financial resources, and this part of the funds can also make a few national treasures back to the motherland, this is a good thing with one stone, the master is too late to support you, how can you be blamed." Zhou Gong's words unraveled the knots in Wuwei's heart. He said excitedly to Zhou Gong: "Thank you, master, thank you for your understanding and support." ”

"It should be me who says thank you, because I am also a member of the Treasure Raiders, and you helped the peerless Shuangjiao that is also helping the master, so it should be the master Thank you. Zhou Gong said sincerely.

In fact, Wu Wei had long felt that the master had a connection with the peerless Shuangjiao and the Treasure Raiders, but it was not good to ask too much, but now listening to Zhou Gong say it himself, he solved a lot of mysteries in Wu Wei's heart. "How can I get the master to thank me, this is what our descendants of Yan and Huang should do, I just do my duty. ”

Zhou Gong looked at Wuwei with gratifying eyes, and said with satisfaction: "Wuwei, it is your sense of responsibility and justice that the master values, a person who can achieve great things, must not only think of himself, he must first have a sense of responsibility and justice, which is a quality that a person who does great things must have." ”

"Uncle Zhou, so you agreed to accept Brother Wuwei as an apprentice?" Yang Yan asked anxiously.

"Haha...... Why are you in a hurry, this girl?, such a good apprentice can't find a lantern, why should I refuse?" Zhou Gong laughed heartily, and then he faced Wuwei again, "After three months of training, do you feel that you are completely able to control your emotions and behavior?"

Wu Wei nodded, "Yes, master, I can indeed control my emotions and behaviors now, after these three months of suffering, to be honest, there is a feeling of rebirth, and I find that my perspective on things has also changed a lot." For example, I have a completely different understanding of money now. ”

"Oh, yes? Zhou Gong said with interest.

Wuwei smiled modestly and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't think too much about it, just a little bit of my own feelings." I found that people in the casino always pay too much attention to winning and losing, that is, they value money too much, because money is the basis of their own survival, when they focus on the gains and losses of money, it is difficult to find what is behind the gambling game, so they will blindly bet, which will eventually lead to failure, and the money is gone. Professional gamers, on the other hand, do not focus on winning or losing, but on the hand and their own strategy, controlling their strategy with the change of the hand, and they focus on the inner part of the game. When you don't pay attention to money, money will come to you instead. ”

Zhou Gong smiled with satisfaction and said in an approving tone: "Wuwei, you have matured, and the current harvest is not only in betting, but also will have a great impact on your future life." You've passed the third hurdle, and when this World Series is over, you'll go to Europe with your master, and I'll give you what little I have. ”

"Master, are you only taking the eldest brother away, so what should we do?" asked Alun anxiously.

"Haha...... As long as you want, of course, you will go together. ”

"Great, I've had enough of it in the U.S., and I'm going to have a good time going to Europe this time...... Hehe...... "Yang Yan was immediately overjoyed when he heard that he was going to Europe.

"Okay, let's put this thing aside, the priority now is the poker tournament. Zhou Gong said to Wuwei again: "Wuwei, in the past two days, you have put down everything, you don't have to think about anything, just relax yourself quietly, and participate in this world competition with a normal attitude." ”

"Understood, master, I'll handle this game. Wuwei said lightly.

Three days later, the competition was finally about to start, and on the first night before the competition, Zhou Gong came to Wuwei's room.

Seeing that the master was coming to find him, Wuwei hurriedly stood up and asked the master to sit down, he guessed that the master would definitely come to guide him. "It's so late, the master hasn't rested, do you have something to tell the apprentice?"

Zhou Gong looked at Wuwei with a smile: "Wuwei, I can see that you are very calm, which means that your psychological state is very good." ”

"Master, I have tried to put down the game in the past two days, in order to make it easy for myself to play. ”

Zhou Gong nodded with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "The number of people participating in the World Series of Poker is increasing year by year, and the reason why people are keen to participate in this tournament is because of the huge prize money. You have to remember that by removing the concept of prize money from your brain during the competition, you just participate in the competition and don't think about anything else. ”

"Okay, I remember! ”

"In recent years, the players who have participated in the competition have basically used game theory to compete. Masters are looking at what they can bluff when they have a hand, how often to use it, and how to strike a balance between raising too little and raising too much to scare their opponents when they have a good hand. But many poker veterans raise too much when they have a good hand. They raise a lot in the hope of winning money in the pot while the hand is still ahead, and the lure of money is at work and an unconscious manifestation of it. So you have to be careful that even if you have a good hand, you don't necessarily raise much, and you can lure your opponent to follow up with a raise in the hope that the hand will improve. That's the best trick of Texas Hold'em. ”
