Chapter 338: Bluffing
In the public gambling hall of Bellagio, at the No-Limit [Texas] Hold'em table, seven players have already placed their bets, and the dealer glances lightly and begins to deal cards.
Each person is dealt two hole cards, which can only be seen by themselves, and then the first player behind the big blind begins to speak, choosing to call, raise or fold. At the table in this round, the player who placed the big blind was Toshiyoshi Mitsui, so the woman in red named Yelena began to take a stand.
She just glanced at her hole cards and then threw a few chips to call. The next old man, the old man, did not lift his head, buried himself in the chest of the girl in his arms, and threw his chips to call. The other players either followed or added, and none of them folded.
When it came to Li Shixun, he also did not look at the cards, but looked at Mitsui Toshiyoshi with a provocative face and chose to call. Toshiyoshi Mitsui shook his face, and he didn't look at the same card and chose to raise. In Texas Hold'em rules, if a player raises, the rest of the players have to make a new statement.
After a circle, everyone who only had two hole cards followed or added, and the chips in the main pool were a lot more. Obviously, the players at the table did not have rookies and did not fold in the first round, which seemed very confident.
After the statement, the dealer begins to deal three community cards, an ace of hearts, a ten of spades, and a two of clubs. This round starts with the small blind and clockwise players make a statement.
In this round, the old man looked over his hole cards, and then threw them away without hesitation.
Other players either chose to raise, or chose to look at the cards, but Li Shixun did not move and chose to follow. This unique behavior has attracted a lot of prying eyes. and voices of self-discussion.
"What do you think?" asked the casino manager in the monitoring room.
"It's not a bluff. It's a master gambler. Neo shook his head and said, "Still too young, I'd rather believe he has a brain problem." ”
"I agree. The casino manager bowed.
Texas Hold'em is not taken seriously in the real gambling world. But it's also a poker game that's easy to learn and hard to master. It is the most test of people's patience, calculation, mentality, and strategy, it can be said that if you do not accumulate experience and grasp the essence, unless you have strong luck, it is impossible for a young person like Li Shixun to win.
If you can't win, you will naturally lose, or you will lose by a big loss. And in the eyes of connoisseurs. People like Li Shixun have another name, and that is Big Fish. Every Texas Hold'em player wants to be at the table with such a big fish, because it means winning.
Li Shixun, who was still at the gambling table, naturally didn't know that some people had already labeled themselves as big fishes, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care. It's not certain who eats whom. Maybe he's a big fish, a man-eating monster swimming in the deep sea?
At the table, the dealer has already begun to deal a fourth community card.
It's an ace of spades!
In the crowd of onlookers, many people have already secretly changed color. Now. The community cards alone have a pair of aces, a 10 of spades, and a 2 of clubs. Even if the hole cards in your hand are two high cards, there is a pair of aces to fight.
Other words. At the table, the smallest hand is a pair of aces.
The first game of the opening game. There is such a big card type, which has to make people feel emotional, and at the same time, it also makes the onlookers begin to be excited.
Texas Hold'em is determined by the size of the hand, the good hand type naturally wins, if they are all high cards or the same card type, then than the value of a single card, A is the largest, 2 is the smallest, regardless of its suit.
In Texas Hold'em, a good hand is a matter of luck. Generally speaking, the odds of taking a high card are very high, and it is normal, and it is good to take a pair, and the probability of having more than three of a kind is very low. Not to mention, a hand type that is bigger than it. The smallest hand is a pair of aces, and it's up to you to fold first.
The one who folds must be a high card, otherwise he will not fold easily and do not gamble. Sure enough, after the fourth card was dealt, the woman in red and the middle-aged man folded one after another, looking at the rest of the people casually.
Mitsui Toshiyoshi's face didn't change, but he looked at Li Shixun with deep eyes and said, "You still don't look at the cards?"
"It's enough to win you!" Li Shixun looked at him lazily and said with his arms crossed.
Mitsui Toshiyoshi's face was pale, but he didn't have a seizure, he just looked at him deeply, and immediately fell into deep thought. He's a big blind, so it's not his turn yet. Maybe it was because of Li Shixun's bluff, so he was a little hesitant, and he didn't know what to think with the chips in his hand.
The young man in Poland took one look at the community card and chose to call.
Jay, a black boy, chose to raise, and he seemed confident in his hand.
At this time, only four players remained at the table, Toshiyoshi Mitsui, Jay, Orlando and Shixun Lee. Because of Jay's raise, the other three players had to take a stand again.
"Raise!" Li Shixun chose to raise with an indifferent smile on his face.
"Follow!"
"Follow!"
“……”
After the four made their statements, no one chose to look at the cards, no one raised, and no one chose to fold. The beauty dealer began revealing the fifth community card, this time a jack of spades.
At this point, all five community cards have been distributed, namely the Ace of Hearts, the Ace of Spades, the J of Spades, the 10 of Spades, and the 2 of Clubs.
Li Shixun raised his eyebrows, he clasped his hands, and kept looking at the rest of the players at the table. The first to bear the brunt is of course his 'rival in love' Mitsui Toshiyoshi, this guy doesn't have the straw bag he imagined, and his expression management is very good, at least he can't see the quality of the cards in his hand.
The same was true for everyone else, especially the Pole named Orlando. Since he was on the table, he didn't say a word, and his eyes were always looking at his hands, so that outsiders couldn't see his reality at all. But Jay, when the dealer turned over the fifth community card, his face changed slightly, and his eyes showed joy, very light and hidden, and he couldn't find it if he didn't observe it carefully.
He may be able to make up a good deck of cards, but he also has to beware that this is a black boy who deliberately shows his face to trick others into folding.
In short, Li Shixun's expressions were in full view, and he also had some scheming in his heart.
"Mitsui-kun, let me remind you, the prize money at the bottom of the pool is only about 500,000 now. Li Shixun smiled: "Don't miss the opportunity?"
Mitsui Toshiyoshi's face froze, and he glared at him with some annoyance. Li Shixun responded to his eyes with a smile, looked at Orlando, and began to express his position at this time.
Orlando glanced at the hole cards in his hand, and then threw them away with a blank face. The black guy took one look at him and chose to raise.
His behavior caused onlookers to gasp, five community cards appeared, and the next showdown was coming, choosing to raise at this moment, if not confident in their cards, it was brainless.
Obviously, this black kid thinks he has a big deck in his hand.
Li Shixun looked at him deeply and slowly stretched out his hand. (To be continued.) )
