Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the summer vacation of the second year of high school has gone for more than 20 days. Tang Xiao has been committed to the study of the basic knowledge of the financial market, and feels that time flies and passes very fast.

Suddenly, Tang Xiao's mobile phone rang, and the QQ message prompted. In this year, girlfriends and wives can be without, but QQ and WeChat must not be without.

Tang Xiao is generally in a mute state to prevent disturbing the people, unless his parents go to work and stay at home alone, he will turn on the QQ prompt sound. The contacts are all people you know, and you can log in to QQ at any time, after all, it is also convenient for buddies and friends to exchange messages.

"Tang Xiao, come to school at two o'clock in the afternoon, let's go to a fun place." The person who sent this message was Tang Xiao's physics teacher, Liu Yun.

"Teacher, do you want me to come by car?"

"Don't show off your Phoenix brand bicycle, don't forget, see you at the school gate at two o'clock." Liu Yun knows Tang Xiao well, and has seen him riding a bicycle many times.

Less than 1:50, Tang Xiao arrived at the gate of Changle High School, patiently waiting for Liu Yun's arrival, but at 2:05, there was still no trace of Liu Yun, and he dialed a phone and was hung up. After a long time, Liu Yun sent a message on QQ: "Coming soon." ”

Tang Xiao is depressed, a big man, doing things so ink. At two o'clock, Liu Yun came over, changed into a casual suit, and his leather shoes were dark and shiny, he must have been dressing up just now.

"Teacher, what, you're like a blind date? Believe it or not, I kicked your shoes twice. Tang Xiao looked at Liu Yun's outfit and joked with a smile.

"Is this Chi Guoguo's jealousy, don't worry, when you see a beautiful girl younger than twenty years old, you will definitely keep it."

"Teacher, you beast."

"Everyone has a love for beauty, how can it be a beast." Liu Yun continued: "Tang Xiao, before leaving, there is something I want to tell you. ”

"Say, I'll listen." Tang Xiao was very curious, and he was ready to set off and tell himself something, could it be that he was ready to unify his voice and deceive a certain little sheep.

"What you want is to live a life without constraints, so I brought you into the financial markets, but it's a very risky place. A lot of knowledge, knowing doesn't mean you understand, understanding doesn't mean you can do it. In the initial stages of your studies, I will tell you what you must learn, and it is up to you to practice and improve. ”

"Teacher, what exactly do you want to say?"

"There's a Texas poker tournament this afternoon, a cash game, and the participants are 1000 RMB each, until the last person left. If you want to participate in my principal, the profit and loss will be minus half; If you don't participate, just watch from the sidelines, and learn more, after all, you haven't been in contact for a long time. ”

Texas poker is the standard in the financial circle. Peter, a leading figure in the international financial circle? Lynch once said, "Wall Street stock investors and stockbrokers, you should learn Texas poker, and this principle will benefit you for life." "Whether you are a professional investor or not, properly learning and understanding the thinking logic and way of doing things of professionals will have a positive impact on some extent, after all, the skills related to investment and financial management are the basic abilities necessary for new and new people.

Texas poker masters' excellent judgment ability, strict self-discipline ability, strong patience, and the ability to let go of the next moment of gain and loss, all of which are necessary conditions for excellent traders, only by understanding their strengths, forbearance when the timing is unfavorable, and shooting when the best time comes, appropriate pursuit, retreat, in order to obtain rich returns.

The Texas Poker tournament in China took a qualitative leap forward in 2012 with the launch of the first China Hainan International Poker Tournament, marking the recognition of Texas poker as a competitive sport rather than pure gambling by mainstream society. Although the World Poker Championship was launched in 1970, it was more than 40 years before the land of China.

Tang Xiao thought to herself: The teacher pays the principal, and the profit and loss are half of the profits, and Liu Yun has taken care of himself very much. But sooner or later, I will have to enter the market, and today's Texas game is just an early practice, and sooner or later I will have to pay for my own profits and losses, so it is better to start today. His father is a technician in a company, and his mother is a people's teacher, so he has saved a lot of pocket money, and has a small "small treasury", which he can afford to learn in today's competition.

"Teacher, I have saved more than 1,000 RMB in my pocket money for most of the year, and I don't need your principal today." After making up his mind, Tang Xiao said to Liu Yun.

"Don't cry if you lose it all." Without waiting for Tang Xiao to answer, Liu Yun continued: "Hurry up and go, it's late later." ”

Liu Yun greeted Tang Xiao and called a taxi.

Tang Xiao was very depressed, and he said that he was also a seventeen-year-old "big man", how could he cry; He was the one who was still late, and he was the one who urged him to hurry up, he was really a superb teacher, and he finished everything he could say.

"Master, Huaxia Club."

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the "Huaxia Club", an arena with billiard tables, Go zhuo, chess tables, poker tables and more.

In the club, elegant dress, welcome lady, all retro cheongsam.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

"Private room 888, thank you."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Friends are already in."

"Sir, I'll take you there."

"Chinese Club", the luxury of private room consumption, is obvious to all, 1000RMB for three hours, only tea and entertainment equipment are provided. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this "888" private room, auspicious number, many people may not be able to book even if they pay a high price. These were all things that Tang Xiao learned later.

The door of the private room No. 888 was closed, and the welcome lady knocked on the door gently, and at this time, a fat man about thirty years old poked his head out and said to Liu Yun: "Teacher Liu, you are late every time, please come in quickly." Who is this? ”

"Tang Xiao, one of my students."

After Liu Yun finished speaking, Tang Xiao obviously saw that the expression on the fat man's face changed.

Upon entering, there were six other people sitting in the room, three women, three men. One of the three women is a foreigner. Of the three men, two are foreigners. There are eight people in total, five men, three women, and three foreigners. Around the table, is a Texas Poker professional tournament Zhuo.

"Teacher Liu, take your students and sit down quickly."

"I'm not playing today, the convention is still the same." Liu Yun sat down and said.

"Fatty, can't you play?" The man who opened the door was called fat like that.

"If I don't play, I'll be a dealer."

"Okay, then get ready to start, six-player table SNG, 1,000 RMB per person." A stiff foreign accent came out, and it was the foreign woman.

"Alice, my darling, may you have better luck this time." The white-skinned stout man in the foreigner said.

"Sun Wukong, you must be out before me." This white-skinned foreigner is known as the Monkey King.

"Then we'll see."
