In Link's excitement, he was taken to the awards. At this time, his head was dizzy, low-key or something, and he had already been thrown to the edge of the sky.

By the time he had calmed down, the casino manager had already handed him a "check" that had just been made. There is also a Mercedes key. Let him accept congratulations from other gamblers.

By this time, Link had completely calmed down and politely declined the manager's request to speak: "You know, I think I'm lucky right now, and I can't wait to play a few games in the big casino." ”

When the manager heard him say this, the smile on his face was even bigger: "Of course, I will arrange for you to exchange chips immediately." However, I recommend you to go to the VIP lounge. You can enjoy better service there. If you need it, we can arrange a game for you. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Then you can help arrange it." ”

The manager smiled and nodded, "My pleasure." Come with me, Mr. Hans. ”

For casinos, they can indeed make a profit by betting against gamblers, but they also arrange gambling games for some high rollers. In such a game, the casino will arrange a dealer for the gambler and charge a certain amount of money from the winner as a margin. Although there are not many such gambles, they are usually high bets, so the margin charged in such gambles is actually not a lot.

In the eyes of the casino manager, Link was carried away. The bonus of more than two million is indeed a lot, and even he is a little red-eyed. But for the money that will be won by gamblers one day, although after it is won, the slot machine will have to be retired, which will make the casino less attractive. However, this grand prize and the first few consecutive awards, as long as they are properly promoted, are also a live advertisement. The same benefits for the casino.

If Link had won more than two million at the table, Link would probably have brutally cleared out of the casino and banned him from the casino forever.

That's a joke. Gambling laws state that casinos have the right to do so. Even if a gambler takes the casino to court, there is no chance of winning. Of course, maybe the casino will politely ask you to sign a letter of promise that you will never enter such and such a casino. As for the reason or something, there will definitely be none.

If you don't sign up, and you have to gamble in the casino. Sorry, maybe you can win a lot of money in the casino, but that depends on whether you have a life to spend after you leave the casino.

The way American casinos treat gamblers who are too good at winning is always rough and straightforward compared to those in the East. Like the casinos in Macau, if there are gamblers who always win money, they will find a way to find evidence of the other party's thousands or money laundering, and then salute before the soldiers, send a sum of money, or ask someone with a face to come forward and ask the other party not to come again in the future. If negotiations fail, violence will be used. On the U.S. side, for a few hundred dollars, you can create a robbery and murder case - anyway, the American people still have tens of millions of guns in their hands as backup, and it is normal for such cases to occur.

It was precisely because Link knew this that he offered to participate in a game that was entirely composed of gamblers. In such a gamble, no matter how much money he wins, the casino will not expel him. I won't deal with him because he won. Of course, he also has a stop-loss line, and if that declining luck doesn't make him win, he will leave the casino as long as he loses a million.

However, the casino manager said that the size of the bet is determined by the gambler. If it is not acceptable, then the gambler cannot participate. So what Link wanted to arrange for him was a gamble that wasn't too big.

Eventually, the manager recommended him a game of Texas Hold'em, which was played by three people.

Texas Hold'em can be said to be a poker game that was born entirely for gambling. Because the purpose of this game is to win the chips of other players.

The three gamblers who had already been served, one looked to be in his sixties, bald, and his face was wrinkled, and the other was in his forties, skinny, with a gold-rimmed glasses. The last one was about fifty years old, with an angular face, and he was a handsome old man.

They didn't directly refuse to join a young man like Link in ordinary clothes. The old man said, "Young man, we're playing 1-2 Fixed Limit. The minimum bet for a game is $10,000. ”

Link knew that such a gamble was already huge. Because Texas Hold'em is similar to Stud, each hand can be decided quickly. 1-2 Fixed Bet, still in 10,000. The largest bet can be overwhelming 80,000.

The so-called 1-2 limit bet mentioned by the old man actually means that the minimum bet amount for the first and second rounds of betting is 10,000, and the minimum bet amount for the third and fourth rounds of betting is 20,000.

Each round of betting can only be raised up to three times, and each raise can only be 10,000 during the first and second rounds of betting, for example, the first player can bet 10,000, the second player can only raise 20,000, the third player can only raise 30,000, and the fourth player can only raise 40,000. 40,000 is the maximum bet amount for this round, and the next player can only call and cannot re-raise.

During the third and fourth rounds of betting, you can only add $20,000 per raise. For example, the first player bets 20,000, the second player can only raise 40,000, the third player can only raise 60,000, and the fourth player can only raise 80,000, 80,000 is the maximum bet amount in this round, and the next player can only call and cannot re-raise.

Such a play is already a high bet. Link hesitated for a moment, and the old man said impatiently, "If you don't have enough chips, forget it." ”

Link is a young man after all, and his super high luck value gives him some confidence, saying, "I just won some money, I should be able to play a few rounds." Then he pulled out his chair and sat down at the table, and said to the manager who had brought him. "Please help me change my chips. ”

Some of the chips he wanted to exchange were 10,000, 20,000 and 50,000. It is just right to be able to combine and match when betting.

The manager called a waiter and handed him the check that Link had handed him and told him to exchange the chips.

Link wants to change chips, and of course he can't play it for the time being. The three men also paused for a moment. The manager also left for the time being. The dealer at the table introduced himself to Link: "Hello sir, I'm Jimmy Grant, and I'll be at your service tonight." ”

Link nodded and said, "Hello." I'm Link Hans. ”

"Hello, Mr. Hans. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Gauss. He thought the old man had his palm stretched out upwards and gestured. Then another gambler at the same table was introduced. "This is Mr. Hansen, this is Mr. Thompson. ”

Mr. Hansen was the man in his forties, and the man in his fifties was surnamed Thompson.

Link saw that they didn't want to be with him, and didn't stand up, just nodded slightly to them.

The old man, who was supposed to have played with these three people a lot, just glanced at him and didn't care at all. The other two only nodded perfunctorily and said hello, and then the three of them took advantage of the gambling game to pause and chat, which made Link look weak.

Soon, Link's chips were delivered. The dealer Jimmy, who had just arrived, explained the rules of the game in detail: "If no one asks to end the game early, the game will end at 4 p.m." If one of them quits early due to insufficient chips, the others can choose to withdraw or continue. If someone asks to end the hand early, and more than half of the people agree, the hand ends early. 0.5% of the winning portion of each round is used as a rake, which is paid by the winner of that round. Then asked. "Mr. Hans, do you have any questions?"

"It's clear. ”

"Okay. Jimmy said with a smile. "So let's get started?"

Old man Gauss nodded and said, "Let's start." "He started with a 40,000 blind.

Hansen pressed 20,000, and Thompson pressed 10,000. Link is also pressed 10,000. The big blind in this hand is Gauss and the small blind is Hansen.

Jimmy dealt two hole cards to all four. Link took a look, and it turned out to be a square 6 of Zhang Meihua A. No one raised in this round, and all four of them bet 10,000.

Jimmy dealt three community cards in the middle of the table. That's a ten of hearts, a 6 of clubs, and a 9 of clubs.

Hansen first pressed 10,000. Thompson laughed and said, "I think I'm going to be a Fullhouse in this game." He said and pressed 20,000.

Hansen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and added another 10,000 chips.

When it was Link's turn to speak, he didn't raise, he just called.

Gauss toasted a cigar and said, "Nick, Fullhouse isn't the biggest brand. He dropped 40,000 chips. It will be up to the other three to call.

Hansen hesitated slightly, added 20,000 chips, and Thompson smiled and said, "Fullhouse is big enough." He also added twenty thousand.

Link looked at the current deck and could make a pair of sixes, or a three-chapter flush. If the other two community cards make two clubs, or a six, then he can combine them into a card that is neither too big nor too small. It's just that that kind of card is not safe. If he doesn't call, he'll lose $40,000, and if he keeps calling, he might lose at least $60,000.

Of course, Texas Hold'em can also count cards, but the reference that can be used for reference can only be a maximum of six cards, which is very complicated to calculate.

Card counting is only the probability of appearing in the cards you want or the cards that others may want. And Link doesn't know how to count cards, what probabilities and so on, he knows, but it's really a bit difficult to make him mentally calculate. In other words, he didn't bother to memorize the odds of playing each card. Because odds are just probabilities. Each hand is shuffled and any card could be the next one.

But if he plays two sixes or aces in a row, then his hand is pretty good. It's just that two chapters of the same card in a row, even if he can't count cards, he knows that it's a low probability thing.

However, this was the first game, and he couldn't fold right away. He pressed another twenty thousand.

After Jimmy had placed all his bets, he dealt another community card.

This one is the ace of hearts. Link lowered his head and began to wonder if it was worth following. He's now a two-pair hand, which isn't big. But if you make an ace or a 6, then it's a fullhouse. That's a good hand. But Thompson could also be a fullhouse. Judging by the hesitation shown by Hansen's hand, the hole cards should not be ideal.

As he pondered, the small blind Hansen folded: "I give up." ”
