Chapter 026: A Fatal Misjudgment

Shi Hu didn't get many useful clues in the end, he leaned towards Russian, but there are many similar languages, which one is it? He had to wait until he came into contact with the Slavic language family to distinguish clearly. At the end of the evening, the cruise ship departed for a lively trip to the Mediterranean.

The poker game began the next morning, with eighteen participants, and the popularity was unexpected, so the dealer had to prepare three tables to divert the gamblers. Each stage lasts four hours until the player has lost all and quit and the winner is selected to participate in the final stage.

Formal attire is required in the poker room, which is a test for Shi Hu, who has recently become accustomed to casual attire, and even wore a shirt and slippers to the table the day before yesterday. He had to change his casual appearance, change into a suit, and ...... Michael specially brought what he needed: rings and chocolates.

Michael praised: "The God of Gamblers is complete!" ”

Shi Hu looked in the mirror, if it weren't for his short hair, he would comb his back hair, shiny and shiny, and touch the ring, it would be really a gambling god.

It's just that Shi Hu's appearance is not so cool, and there is no soundtrack.

Casinos are a concentration of warlords, drug dealers and ** elements, and any one of them may be a thorn in the government's side. Shi Hu took his seat with five million chips and listened to the dealer announce the rules, the rules for doubling the blinds, etc.

It is still a 50,000/100,000 blind bet with no limit.

Shi Hu's table has ladies participating, which is quite rare, but unfortunately he is a white man in his fifties, old and decrepit, and men are generally not interested. Eva was as radiant as ever, changing a sexy dress on her and giving him a lucky kiss before the game began.

"Give me a glass of lemonade." Shi Hu told the bartender that he adhered to the principle of playing cards and not drinking.

"Martini." There are also requests.

"Whiskey, tumbler, no ice." Someone else said.

"Okay? Can you start playing? McLaughlin was a little impatient with their grinding. Shi Hu remembered him, the guy who lost five million in total.

"Right away, Mr. McLaughlin." The dealer said calmly, opened a new deck of playing cards, fanned out the front to check the cards, and then shuffled the cards skillfully.

Shi Hu looked at McLaughlin, this guy is very strong in poker, after losing to himself the day before yesterday, he did not slump, he won back at other tables. In terms of card skills alone, Shi Hu is not an opponent, but his advantage is not in skills, but in the ability to read cards and minds.

At the beginning of the gambling game, a total of 150,000 large and small blinds were forced, and each player expressed his position.

There are many masters who have emphasized that poker is actually about the human heart.

As long as it's not too unlucky, those with strong skills will win. In Shi Hu's body, as long as he doesn't encounter bad luck, he will definitely be able to guarantee victory.

Shi Hu is a special player with talent, relying on card reading skills to be invincible, and with the help of a little luck, he is invincible in the game; McLaughlin, on the other hand, is a truly skilled player, not as mysterious as Shi Hu, but with a lot of experience.

The poker table is almost a stage for the two of them, constantly harvesting opponents and accumulating chips.

Shi Hu is learning about McLaughlin's style, and he believes that the other party is the same, and he is constantly testing his habits, the way he bluffs, and the rules of betting when he really has a big hand...... Once these details are summed up, they can be easily exploited by opponents – and McLaughlin is particularly adept.

Aside from card reading, Shi Hu is just a familiar hand, and the other party is a top-notch master.

Shi Hu can read his opponent's hole cards, but he does not hide his habits well, after playing for a long time, McLaughlin caught his style, when Shi Hu got a big card, trying to lure him to call, McLaughlin frequently folded, not fooled at all.

Shi Hu already had more than 14 million chips, and his opponent had 13 million.

Now it was a duel between the two people, but Shi Hu felt that it was difficult to get the other person to take the bait, and during the break, Paul reminded him: "You have been seen through by him, quickly change your style." ”

Shi Hu took a bite of the lemon, the sour taste stimulated himself to lift his spirits, and kissed the delicate Eva beside him: "I hope it's still too late." ”

"There is a reward for the winner in the evening." Eva is charming and charming, soothing his nervousness.

"Master, kill that Irish boy!" Michael clenched his fists, he had long seen that McLaughlin was unhappy, how could he be a young man...... So showy?

"Go for it." Shi Hu smiled, and after the fifteen-minute break, he re-served the table.

Within twenty minutes, Shi Hu was trying to find a way to enter the actor mode, but the formed card style was difficult to change, and he could only rely on the accurate judgment of the opponent's hole cards, and did not let himself fall into a big trap. But if you want to win, you have to change the status quo and take the initiative.

McLaughlin was staring at Shi Hu, he was speculating on some unreliable inferences in his mind, and after a few tests in a row, he began to convince himself to believe it, so his play was more tentative, and after five consecutive hands, he seized a great opportunity to test his inference.

"It's your turn, Mr. Stone." The dealer reminded Shi Hu.

Shi Hu pushed out the three million chips.

"Raise, three million." The dealer called out the numbers and looked to the other side, "It's your turn, Mr. McLaughlin." ”

McLaughlin's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the table.

The current community cards are: 10, Q, 7, 10.

Shi Hu's hole cards are 10 and 5, and he reads his opponent's hole cards...... It's q and 7, the opponent is hesitating in his heart, and a lot of incomprehensible thoughts are endless.

McLaughlin raised his head and looked at Shi Hu defiantly: "In that case, let's play big." ”

He pushed all the chips out: "All-in." ”

"Mr. McLaughlin is all in the money, and the amount is $11 million." The dealer counted, "Your turn, Mr. Stone." ”

Many people at the scene set their eyes on the gambling table, and once again fought against each other, with an amount of more than 10 million, how did Shi Hu choose?

Michael in the audience had already stood up: "Here we go again!" The master put him down! ”

Paul was also watching, he wasn't sure if Shi Hu's state could be judged accurately, and the other party seemed to have been grasping his playing rules.

Shi Hu took a breath and pushed out the chips: "All down." ”

The dealer dealt a river card that had nothing to do with the big picture, and then said, "Gentlemen, please show your cards." ”

Shi Hu flipped the hole cards: 10 and 5, and the dealer said: "Three of a kind, three of a kind of 10, Mr. McLaughlin?" ”

McLaughlin smiled wryly and turned over his hole cards.

The dealer reads: "Three-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind Q, Mr. McLaughlin's three-of-a-kind big." ”

Shi Hu was stunned, his eyes swept on the opponent's hole cards, and it was not the Q and 7 he read out, but a pair of Q!

McLaughing and accepting the chips: "Surprised, isn't it?" It also took me a lot of time to convince myself of the fact that you could read cards. ”

Shi Hu stared at the opponent's hole cards a few times, and finally accepted his fate and got up to leave.

Back in the audience, Michael said, "Master, that kid? ”

"He managed to fool me." Shi Hu didn't explain much. But he guessed that it should be the other party who strongly hinted at him that the hole cards were q and 7, so that when Shi Hu used mind reading on him, he naturally received q and 7. And then...... He fell into a trap and was emptied by the other party.

Paul couldn't let him lose faith: "Don't worry, you still have 20 million in capital, all of which you won from 5 million, and it's not worth losing much." ”

"I know." Shi Hu took the Margaret in Eva's hand, took a big sip, and then returned it to her.

Shi Hu suddenly said in annoyance: "Damn! I had to play with several times as much money. ”

At present, it is the first stage, and those who win and do not lose will participate in the afternoon game, and the blinds will rise to the level of 200,000/400,000, which means that Shi Hu still has the opportunity to make up for it, and use 20 million to participate in the game and move the situation back again...... But now he had to be quiet.
