Shi Hu is not afraid of the loss of five million capital, he is afraid that the opponent can seize the weakness of his card reading and carry out conscious self-hypnosis. If so, the advantage will be lost, and being able to judge the opponent's hole cards is his biggest reliance, as for poker skills?

He could only shake his head.

If he can't read his hole cards accurately, he will lose all the money he has. McLaughlin's skill was so feared by Paul that he struggled to figure out how to win...... Do you want to give up? He was cranky, refused to be accompanied, and swayed alone on the boat.

The common area is too noisy, either a honeymoon loving couple or a chirping child. He used the VVIP ID card and a special elevator to reach the top floor, and there was a viewing area on the top floor of the cruise ship that was exclusive to VIPs, which was relatively quiet. Usually, super VIPs are either in the casino or in the room.

The elevator door opened, and he had just taken a step before stopping.

There were people on the observation deck, five or six big men in black, and the two Russian-speaking women I had seen last night. The middle-aged woman was sitting, and there was a waitress making tea for her, and the young woman's rather vigilant gaze swept over him, and the armpits of the strong men in black around him were bulging.

There are guns. Shi Hu quickly realized this, there were many metal detectors on the cruise ship, and the inspection was as strict as airport security, and it was impossible to bring weapons on board - the only possibility was that the other party was the real boss. Only the big boss, the cruise ship will not carry out the inspection.

He has some difficulties, should he move forward or retreat?

"Relax." The middle-aged woman spoke up at this time, and she said in English: "If he had other purposes, he wouldn't pick this kind of time." ”

The young woman raised her hand, and the strong man in black stepped aside.

The middle-aged woman turned around, her eyes flashed with surprise, but she returned to normal: "Young man, since you're here, please." By the way, are you Chinese? ”

"Yes." Shi Hu nodded.

"Sometimes I like to drink some Chinese tea to reduce fire and fat, but people are too impetuous nowadays." The middle-aged woman motioned for him to sit aside.

Shi Hu was not afraid of anything, and sat down generously.

The middle-aged woman looked at him, and the waitress made tea for him, the process was skillful and very interesting. Shi Hu doesn't know much about tea ceremony, but he still drinks tea.

"My name is Tiger." Shi Hu reported his home.

"I know you, Mr. Shi." The middle-aged woman nodded, "Aren't you supposed to be playing poker at this time?" Sorry, I don't know how to play. ”

Then the young woman introduced: "Ulyana Beteyeva." ”

"Hello, ma'am." Shi Hu greeted politely, and then said, "I should be playing, but ...... I lost. ”

Seeing his frustrated expression, Beteyeva understood: "The kind of loss that is very simple? ”

Shi Hu nodded: "Yes, I still have a chance, but I can't raise confidence." ”

"So what do you have to be frustrated about?" Beteyeva laughed, "I don't play poker, but I know that no one can always win, and you're not sure you're going to lose. Turn it upside down, and from different angles, you'll often find things that have been overlooked. ”

Shi Hu grabbed the teacup and thought quietly.

He was really scared of himself, because he was invincible in the past, and he was scared when he encountered a setback for the first time? It is far more difficult to hypnotize himself than to read his mind. In terms of probability, in fact, his win rate is higher than that of the opponent, but he looks at it from the wrong angle.

Shi Hu smiled: "Thank you, Lady Beteyeva. ”

"Hopeless gambler." The young woman snorted.

Shi Hu smiled, not minding her cold attitude.

"She is my daughter Amanda," Betyeva said. I don't know what inspired you to do it, but it's nice to do good once in a while. ”

Shi Hu nodded: "Your words unintentionally woke me up, I am ...... Stuck in a chess game, I can't see it all. ”

Beteyeva said: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear? ”

"Do you know Chinese?" Shi Hu was surprised, although his pronunciation was a little bad, and then looked at the other party, with a high nose bridge and deep eyes...... But there was also a hint of the East, he wasn't sure.

"I've been there before, and I've learned a little." Betyeva didn't want to say much, she suddenly sighed, Amanda turned sideways and said, "Mr. Shi, please." ”

The other party left very abruptly. Shi Hu put down the teacup and got up: "Although I don't know the reason, I still bless Madame, you are a good person." ”

"Good guys?" It was as if she had heard a joke.

"There are no absolutes for good or bad, that's for me." Shi Hu didn't think it was funny, nodded to Amanda again, and left without looking back.

……

In the afternoon, Shi Hu returned to the game.

This is the second game, the number of people has decreased significantly, obviously the fight of the game is particularly fierce, and those who can stay have a certain strength, continue to compete for the coveted money. What relieved Shi Hu was that there were still two tables left to choose from, and everyone's chips were at the tens of millions level.

There was no immediate encounter with the opponent, Shi Hu had plenty of time to adjust and get as many chips as possible, this game was only three hours, 200,000/400,000 blinds, Shi Hu had more chips, 20 million means that he has no way back, either win or go back bare-bottomed.

It's not good to play with this mentality, but if there is no pressure at this time, Shi Hu can't motivate himself, he takes the risk of fighting against the water, and everyone is happy when he wins. In the aftermath of the opening period, he was watching his opponent and not ignoring the fact that there was one McLaughlin.

The players at this table came from all over the world, and the suspected Iraqi official was among them, with an interpreter. There is also a Japanese player with a solemn expression as if he is in a duel. Even the dealer has a strong French accent and likes to refer to players as "monsieur".

"Three million." Two hours after playing, Shi Hu made a heavy bet.

"Raise three million, three players contend." The dealer looked at Shi Hu's next house: "Mr. DeLuca? ”

The Italian named De Luca held his chin and pretended to be deep for a while, raised to five million, folded his cards next, and the dealer looked at Shi Hu: "Mr. Stone? ”

"Follow." Shi Hu pushed the chips out.

The dealer dealt the last card, the Italian chose to go all-in, Shi Hu yawned and continued to follow.

Finally, the gentlemen showed their cards, Shi Hu's hole card is very small, a pair of 5, the other party AK, but with the community card pairing, the Italian is AA, and Shi Hu is 555. Three of a kind of big two pairs, the law of nature. The dealer drew a thick stack of chips in front of Shi Hu, and the card netted 15 million.

The audience was amazed, the hole cards dare to play so big with a pair of 5s, it seems that Mr. Stone is a typical tightrope walker, and if he is not careful, it will be an abyss.

De Luca looked at the cards in wonder and shook his head: "The game of the brave, one against 5 dares to fight like this, I am convinced." Teach me a lesson to the Irish boys. ”

It seems that McLaughlin's arrogance has provoked many people, and Shi Hu smiled: "If you don't say that I will too, Mr. DeLuca." ”

"Very good." DeLuca spoke a strange English sentence with a trill, and got up and left his seat.

Paul in the audience drank champagne and tasted desserts, and Paul, who hugged the woman, said: "If I were me, I wouldn't have messed with the mafia, and the Irish boy would be in trouble." ”

"Mafia?" Michael craned his neck to look.

Paul reminded: "Don't look around, this neighborhood is Italy, and the mafia is not a rare animal. In fact, the VIPs on the ship are much more fierce than the mafia. ”

"It just feels like they're closer to me." Michael muttered.

He knew he was not in the middle of the stream. Mafia? At a glance, the fat man in the black sky was an African warlord, the young Arab was the son of a dictator, and several were arms dealers...... It is unimaginable that a gambling ship can gather these heroes in the black world.

Shi Hu's chips in front of him were already piled up into a small mountain, and the battle was easier in the future, but he was knocked down by luck a few times, and it lasted until the end of the game, and he had $41 million in chips, which was close to the maximum profit that he had assumed at the beginning - it seems that he blamed Paul, and he did not exaggerate.

The dealer fanned out the cards on the table and announced: "The game is over, it's time to redeem chips, please come back to the game in two hours, I wish you all a happy time!" ”

Shi Hu yawned, raised his hand to see that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, got up and left with his friends: "Let's have dinner, we have to fight tonight." ”
