Chapter 383: The First Round of Cards
Texas Hold'em is similar to Zakin and Stud, but the rules are tighter and the gameplay is more strategic.
Texas Hold'em will first deal the player two hole cards, and then the first person sitting on the left hand side of the dealer will play the small blind, and the second person next to him will play the big blind, which is usually twice the small blind, and the remaining players can choose to follow or not according to their hole cards.
After all the players on the board have selected the same chips, the dealer will divide into three rounds, deal five community cards in the middle of the table, players bet in turn in three rounds, and finally according to their hole cards and community cards, any combination of five strongest cards.
According to this rule, Texas Hold'em is strategic, and players have many choices to choose their own strategy depending on how the hand changes.
Li Shaoyang has learned from Jiu'er briefly, and knows that Texas Hold'em must first look at the change of position, and then the psychological game.
Everyone at the table was ready, and each had $20 million in chips. The dealer announces a minimum of $2,000 in the first round of the small blind. There was no objection to this.
The dealer looked at Li Shaoyang, because he was the dealer, Li Shaoyang nodded slightly, and the dealer began to deal cards.
Each person has two hole cards, and the five people present at the table look at the cards in different ways after the deal, the old black man with a silver ring gently pinched the cards with his fingers, the red-haired woman is squinting and looking from the side, and the Indian is the most exaggerated, covering his hands to see. Only the young man with glasses has the most standard posture to look at the cards.
The molecular worm began to shuttle quickly, and everyone's hole cards were all clearly visible, and then passed to Li Shaoyang.
Li Shaoyang's mental thinking technique was activated, and the heartbeat, body temperature, subtle demeanor and eye fluctuations of the four people at the gambling table were all under his control.
He flipped the corners slightly, and then put it down, in fact, he didn't have to look at it, and he knew that he was very lucky in the first hand, and got a pair of kings, spades and hearts.
The dealer motioned for the Indian sitting to his left to play the small blind and put down the $2,000 stack.
The red-haired woman to the left of the Indian immediately dropped her four thousand chips.
Both the small blind and the big blind must be placed, and there is no choice, but the remaining three people, including Li Shaoyang, the bookmaker, have a choice.
The old black man smiled slightly and threw out 10,000 chips: "I like to play exciting." ”
The man with glasses did not move: "Raise the bet!" He threw down fifty thousand chips.
This first round is so intense that it is rarely seen in the gambling game, and generally in the first round of Texas Hold'em, everyone likes to test each other and understand the habits of their opponents.
Li Shaoyang looked at the four people, the Indian Yankee's hole card is the largest, it is a pair of double peach aces, the red-haired woman is a square 5 and a red heart Q, the black old man's is also good, a pair of 10, only the year relative with the biggest raise, but there is only a hand of square 3 and spade 4.
He knew that the young man was bluffing Li Shaoyang had everything in his hands, so he gently put the 100,000 chips in his hand: "Add 100,000!" I also like to play exciting. ”
Several people frowned and looked at him, this is the first round, this Asian guy has directly entered the 100,000 bet.
The red-haired woman and the old black man immediately folded because their hole cards were not big and their chances of a flush were not high, so they cautiously gave up.
Only the Indian is left, because a pair of aces is in hand, of course he is not afraid, and immediately calls 100,000.
The young man pushed his glasses and called. This guy is really daring. He has a 3 and a 4 and wants to fight for a straight.
The dealer begins to deal the first round of community cards, a total of three, the king of clubs, the 5 of spades, and the 7 of squares.
Li Shaoyang's mental technique immediately felt that the young man with glasses had his heartbeat faster, because out of 5, his chances of getting a straight flush were greatly increased. And the Indian is also very relaxed, and a pair of aces has kept him confident.
The Indian immediately raised: "One hundred and fifty thousand!" ”
Li Shaoyang and the young man called.
The dealer signals the table chips to be the same and begins to deal a second round of community cards, this time with only one: Club 2!
Of course, the glasses man's heartbeat was faster again, and Li Shaoyang even observed that his palms began to sweat, and the chips in his hands were soaked with sweat, which was a sign of excitement...... There is one left, which is a straight.
So the man with glasses immediately raised to 200,000 chips.
The Indian gently knocked on the table, Li Shaoyang's mental skills felt his entanglement, and according to the cards, his chances of winning were still very high.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" The Indian made up his mind and raised directly.
The man in glasses frowned secretly and chose to call.
Li Shaoyang also chose to call.
The scene became anxious for a while, and the entire first round of gambling had just been played for less than half an hour, and the total bets on the table at the third table had reached more than 700,000.
The dealer has been tried and tested and begins to deal the last community card, the square king......
Li Shaoyang smiled, and cooperated with the other two Kings in his hand, which are the third biggest cards in Texas Hold'em after the Royal Flush and the ordinary Straight Flush: Four of a Kind!
And the Indian's heartbeat has also accelerated, and with the two aces in his hand, he can now form two big pairs, so his chances of winning have risen again.
Only the man with glasses did not change his expression, and even showed a little smile, but Li Shaoyang had already felt that his breathing had frozen, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his back.
The dealer looks at the remaining three and motions for them to place their bets.
The man with glasses smiled and said, "I'm a person who is more anxious, so I'll just play big." ”
He pushed the chips in a loud and calm voice, "One million!" ”
The man with glasses was bluffing, he didn't have any cards with his flowers, and of course, he behaved flawlessly, barely seeing any flaws.
So the Indian gritted his teeth and could only give up, flopping: "Good luck young man from afar." ”
In his mind, Li Shaoyang, a Chinese guy, would definitely not dare to follow, after all, it was one million, how could a cautious Chinese person play so big in the first round.
But to his surprise, Li Shaoyang launched a million chips: "Actually, I'm more anxious." ”
The well-informed dealer also breathed rapidly, which was really unexpectedly fast-paced.
The gamblers who came out to rest at the table around couldn't help but surround themselves, looking at this scene in shock, the biggest table on their table now was less than 100,000 chips, and they had actually entered a life-and-death battle here.
The dealer signals for the cards to be drawn.
The man in glasses took a deep breath, shook his head, and flipped over the cards. He only stared at Li Shaoyang, the corners of his mouth twitched several times, and then he said hoarsely: "Congratulations, Zhinaman!" ”
China......
Li Shaoyang's eyelids twitched a few times, and the chips in his hand almost hit the bastard's face, this glasses dog spoke in English, and the last word was still very vague, but he heard it too clearly, such an insult!
Li Shaoyang took the chips pushed by the dealer, and originally wanted to make a low-key start, but you kid is looking for death, I want you to take off your pants and get out of the first round.
At the beginning of the second game of the first round, after three consecutive rounds of betting, the red-haired woman withdrew again, and the remaining four were facing off.
Li Shaoyang's hole cards and community cards can now form two pairs, and he only stares at the glasses dog, and the opponent is a high card, so he has to stare at the glasses dog defiantly when he bets. Li Shaoyang wanted to provoke his anger and provoke him to bet.
Glasses Dog held back and folded after this round of betting.
Li Shaoyang looked at the table, the chips were only 500,000 in total, so he did not hesitate to fold his cards, although he had the largest cards on the whole table.
In the third game, the glasses dog folded again, and Li Shaoyang always followed him and folded together.
Everyone could see that this No. 2 VIP Chinese was angry and was staring at the man with the eyes.
……
Until the seventh game, the glasses man finally got a pair of good hole cards of Q, with the community cards, you can form four Qs, super good cards.
Li Shaoyang knew that he had been suppressed for so long and was about to explode, and he could form four aces to kill the opponent's cards.
So he began to lure the enemy, and the chips in his hand kept flipping, making a difficult choice.
The glasses dog felt that it was an opportunity, and began to mock insolently: "My ancestors used to be executives of the East India Company, and my family used to walk freely on the land of China. ”
Li Shaoyang's luck made his face red, and he pretended to be angry and threw out three million chips.
Glasses Dog is very confident in his cards, from the face of the card, a straight flush is no longer possible, unless the opponent has four A, it is impossible to win, and this Chinese guy has four A's is almost impossible, because the first hand bet, Li Shaoyang showed contradictions, then he is by no means a big card like A.
So the eyedog immediately raised five million.
The dealer looked at them: "One last round raise!" ”
Li Shaoyang slowly moved his body, turned around and called for a glass of mint wine, tore off his shirt after drinking, and then pushed out all the chips with "red eyes", a total of nineteen million chips.
The glasses dog is secretly going crazy with laughter, and now he can catch this Chinese guy.
He was very confident and rolled out all his chips as well.
Li Shaoyang turned his head and grimaced at the nervous Alice, turned around and turned pale again, and then pretended to press his chest: "Wait, I still have to raise." ”
He got up, and the representative of the Swiss bank over there walked with the accountant.
"I have a bar and a mine, in Xu, Huaguo, please assess the value." Li Shaoyang made a move like a casino maniac.
The bars and mines in Xushi are listed, and the results of a professional assessment will be available within two hours.
The table was covered, and the other tables had finished the first round of the day and were all gathered around. Su Zixing saw this scene in the crowd, immediately analyzed the cards, and concluded that Li Shaoyang lost more than 80%, and couldn't help but smile excitedly.
After a break, the accountant came up with the evaluation results: "The two properties of the No. 2 VIP have a total price of 40 million US dollars!" ”
The glasses dog smiled arrogantly and took out a document: "Manchester, England, the family river transport company, the total price will not be lower than your chips." ”
The assessment was quick, and it took only ten minutes for Italian accountants to determine: "Man River Shipping, 51% of the shares, worth 45 million euros, equivalent to 50 million dollars." ”
The two sides sat down at the table again, Li Shaoyang fastened the button, stretched out his middle finger to the glasses dog, shook it slightly, and opened the card.
Four aces, like a ghost, made the glasses dog's legs weak, and he fell directly on the gambling table.
