If blackjack card counting is a probability skill that players have the opportunity to master after training, then reading cards for poker is Shi Hu's unique skill. Ever since the turn in his life, he has discovered that he has a keen instinct for this aspect and is invincible in playing poker.

Card reading may be an introduction to mind reading. After two nights of poker battles, Shi Hu felt that it was much more difficult to read a person's mind than to read a certain card in his head. The human mind is complex and unpredictable, but the number of playing cards is quite limited.

He also made a discovery that this technique can be enhanced. For example, the moment the opponent looks at the cards, the accuracy rate of reading the cards is about 90%. In the previous ten cards, he could make two mistakes, but now he can greatly improve the accuracy rate, and if he reads the cards repeatedly, it will reach more than 90%.

On the sixth day in Macau, he was still playing.

The game in the first two nights has allowed him to win about 3 million, of which 21 points contributed 1.2 million. There are relatively few people who play poker in Macau, most of them are studs, and Texas Hold'em has a special card room, but unfortunately the stakes are not large, which can not meet his mentality of quickly gathering funds.

Tonight he continued his stud, hunting small fish and sharks without limits.

Winning is constant, but the atmosphere is not too good, and the casino is a condensed society, concentrated with all kinds of characters. Around the table, some people were silent the whole time, winning or losing; Some people are humorous and optimistic; There are also some people who are not of high quality and have sharp words.

He encountered this strange thing.

A player with a lot of chips, not very old, but very talkative, likes to comment on everything, and as soon as he sits down and begins to "popularize" Texas Hold'em than Stud, he will not come to play outdated Stud if he can't find a Texas Hold'em table.

Usually for this kind of person, it is best to be silent and let him play a one-man show.

Shi Hu took a good card, the hole card and the open card into three 9, he immediately turned on the actor mode: hesitated in betting, deliberately showed weakness, implying that the opponent did not get three of a kind, just a pair of 9, with or not to make a choice, but finally made up his mind, re-bet on stealing chicken: "Add 50,000." ”

The fish saw Shi Hu's hesitation in his eyes, he glanced at his cards, and the hidden card and the open card were against the king, which was obviously bigger than the other party. The fish raised to 100,000, and said proudly: "So the stud is much weaker than Texas, and you want to scare me when you are a pair?" ”

Shi Hu was indifferent and remained silent.

"I'll tell you, I've seen a lot of this trick in Las Vegas." Yu'er got carried away, speaking Mandarin and Cantonese together, and he knew that Shi Hu was a mainland boy.

Shi Hu ignored him and counted the chips in front of him, he still had 110,000 left, and the opponent re-bet to 100,000, obviously trying to force him to play all.

Seeing that he hesitated, Yu'er continued to mock: "Intermediate (or) Las Vegas is interesting, millions of dollars don't blink, but hundreds of thousands (here) are afraid." ”

In fact, the poisonous tongue is also a poker strategy that can interfere with the judgment of the opponent. The other party knows this well, and constantly brings out his experience of playing cards in Las Vegas, using the mastery of Texas Hold'em to fight the "primitive" of stud, what four cards can be guessed, and so on.

Having heard enough of his ramblings, Shi Hu became impatient, and he pushed out all his chips: "Stud." ”

The fish did not hesitate: "Follow." ”

When his voice fell, Shi Hu quickly turned over his hole cards: "My hole card is a 9, three 9s, you have a pair of kings, how can you win me?" ”

Yu'er was surprised, stared at the cards with wide eyes, and was speechless, he guessed the opponent's hole cards wrong, and the other party saw through his roots?

So far, Shihu's cards are: 9, 9, 9, 7.

The fish's cards are: King, King, 3, 5.

Shi Hu's win rate is very high, when the dealer gives Shi Hu's fifth card is K, his win rate has reached 97%, so many cards, and the probability of giving a K to the fish can be said to be very, very low. Can...... Luck is a thing that often likes to play tricks.

When the fish is desperate and has no way to recover, the dealer deals him a card that happens to be a king.

"Hahaha!" The fish jumped up and laughed, and cheered around the room: "I knew it!" I knew my luck was better than yours! ”

Shi Hu looked at the playing cards depressedly, the same three, but the opponent's k was bigger.

Yu'er sat down again and taught Shi Hu: "It's all said, play cards, you need luck!" ”

97% win rate, only to be beaten by luck at the last minute. In normal times, Shi Hu laughed at most, and it was just bad luck. But now, listening to the other party's smugness, he grabbed the water cup in annoyance and splashed it on the other party's face: "Hold you old mother!" Enough trouble? (Fuck you, say enough)"

Shi Hu is usually a good gentleman, he has no temper, but his nature is difficult to change, he has a lot of criminal records back then, and the teacher said when he was in school that he would continue to be wild and go to prison sooner or later. When the other party annoyed him, he not only threw water on his face, but also lifted his sleeves to beat people.

"I'll beat you to death!"

Shi Hu looked tall and big, and his eyes were wide open, and the other party was stupid by his fierce appearance, and he sat on the chair in a daze and didn't know how to hide - fortunately, the security guard of the VIP hall passed by and stopped him in time, warning not to do anything in the casino, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"He beats people, catch him!" The upper body was soaked, and the trembling fish shouted desperately.

The dealer really couldn't stand it, and stood up and said: "Misunderstanding! Shi Sheng didn't (not) mean it! ”

The dealer is also unhappy with the other party, he has dealt cards these days, Shi Hu gave him the impression that he has a good temper, has a generous shot, and never spares tips. On the other hand, the other party, I don't know where the fake foreign devil came from, speaking in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, what does it mean?

The casino manager also came quickly, and the VIP hall was no trivial matter, all of them were VIPs of the casino, and they could not be offended. After they understood the situation, the manager asked the fish to take the fish to change clothes first, and also provided free accommodation, etc.; For Shi Hu, he persuaded him a few words, there is no need to fight with this kind of person......

After some mediation, the casino gave the steps down, and Shi Hu also accepted the manager's suggestion not to continue gambling for the time being, go to the bar for a drink, and relax in the nightclub. In retrospect, he has had his ups and downs in the past few days, and he is indeed a little irritable and uncontrollable.

So he left the casino and went to the hotel's nightclub.

Historically, Wong Hutch Gambling has never been separated, and this is also true in Macau. There are performances in many venues, commonly known as the "invasion of capitalist thought", and Shi Hu also corrodes his body and mind. Otherwise, he has been here for six days, and he is embarrassed to tell others that he has been to Macau.

He experienced the rudimentary stages of capitalism – a close-fitting show. It's just a two-point girl dancing against your body, swaying under the action of dim lights, selling sexy. Drink martini, chat with the dancing girls, and talk about the famous eight-nation alliance show and goldfish bowl here.

The so-called Eight-Nation Alliance Show, which can be draped in a halo of "patriotism" in Macau, is composed of eight Western beauties from different countries with first-class figures, jumping poles and playing S-M in front of you, and the advanced version also has a live hand-to-hand fight...... Dogs and horses are extremely popular.

After giving the dancer a tip, he found the show of the Eight-Nation Alliance according to the prompts, and put the gambling and card counting things behind him. watched the group of long-legged chicks wearing only thongs on stage perform, and cheered with the audience.

Drinking and watching the show, my nerves gradually relaxed.

The duration of the pass stay in Hong Kong and Macao is only seven days, go back? It's not a good choice, he has been paying close attention to the dynamics on the Internet, but there is no news, and the wind is calm - this is often a sign that something big is wrong, and the news often says "a big net is quietly unfolding"?

Shi Hu is not a big fish, he didn't even have contact with the core of the group, whether he was caught or not had nothing to do with the overall situation - after catching those shocking big fish and turning out the backstage that supported them, they were all busy grabbing merit and praise, and no one would care about the whereabouts of Xiao Yu'er anymore.

He could go back, but he didn't want to risk it.

Hong Kong and Macau can't stay for a long time, leave? Where are you going?

Going to the United States? This is what he considered from the beginning, with his ability, it is not difficult to get along, but he has to flee for the rest of his life? If he goes back, confess and be lenient, according to the crimes he committed, the possibility of probation is relatively high, but if he is pulled into the water by Huang He, it is difficult to say.

The old Taoist priest said that he would have good luck, but he felt that if he chose to go back, it was not the direction that fate pointed out. If you insist on going against fate, it is often a fiasco. To make matters worse, he only has eight years to live, which seems like a long time, but it can be passed in a few blinks of an eye.

He can't fight back...... Then close your eyes and enjoy.

In the evening, he hooked up with two beauties, the best sister flowers recommended by the intermediary, both of which were long legs and hips, hot and charming stunners, and cost 30,000 yuan for the night. He took them back to the room, drank and drank a lot, and finally collapsed from exhaustion, and slept with one in one hand......

Waking up the next day, it was the last day of his stay, and he had already booked a ticket to the United States for the night.

I don't go to play cards anymore, he renews his sisters' flowers, don't think crooked, he has played enough last night, he just wants someone to accompany him and be able to talk. At this point, he suddenly felt lonely, he was going to be forced to leave his hometown, he didn't have long to live, and he didn't know what to do.

The sisters took him to wander around Macau, eat good food, see the scenery, and finally moved to the casino.

He sat down at the blackjack table again, but this time in the hall, the bets were so small that he didn't even count the cards, and everything went with luck. Thinking back to every card counting method he used, after a few days of actual combat, he felt that the small cards were not well summarized into the system.

He had wanted to figure out what worked best for him, and now might be the time.

He decided to go to Las Vegas, where there was a wider stage.

He was reminded of Nicolas Cage's movie "Far from Las Vegas," where he might have died — the difference is that Cage's character is a passive suicide due to alcoholism. And he wants to appreciate all the wonders of this world at the last moment of his life.
