Chapter 122, This Son is Extraordinary, and He Will Become a Great Weapon (Medium)
Teacher Liu...... Let's play poker again today......." Looking at the two decks of pokers that Liu Tiao took out of his pocket, Zhang Yaleng was a little speechless, he is now very sensitive to poker, to be precise, to be particularly sensitive to gambling.
"Don't confuse what I'm teaching you with playing poker, I'm teaching you something more advanced today." While talking about Liu Tiao, he took out the two pokers and washed them in a very fancy way, and Zhang Yaleng was a little dazzled when he saw it. After all, it's still playing... Zhang Yaleng said in his heart, although Zhang Yaleng really hopes to learn something more formal and can be used immediately, but Zhang Yaleng himself admits that compared with the class taught by the old woman, he is still more willing to take Liu Tiao's class, if this method can also be defined as class.
"Ever heard of Texas Hold'em?" Liu Tiao put aside the washed cards and divided them into two stacks, and when he was done, he looked at Zhang Yaleng and asked.
"Seemingly... I seem to have heard it, but I don't know what it is..."Zhang Yaleng looked at Liu Tiao with an idiot look, it was obvious that he didn't know what Lu Dao was, for him, he was rarely able to answer what Liu Tiao asked him.
"Texas Hold'em is a poker board game, of course, it has become a very popular gambling project now, it first originated in Texas, USA, Texas Hold'em has a high level of skill, and the first time I played with you the kind of childish poker can not be compared, so, you have to study hard to learn, of course, I don't expect you to learn very well." Liu Tiao briefly introduced Texas Hold'em, and at the same time had very low expectations for Zhang Yaleng's learning.
"Can you give me the rules first?" was so ridiculed by Liu Tiao, Zhang Yaleng was also stimulated with some fighting spirit and decided that he must learn this Texas Hold'em well.
Liu Tiao seemed to know Texas Hold'em very well, and began to talk about the most basic rules, and then said a lot of terms and gameplay, and added some of his own feelings, in short, he stopped after talking for most of the day.
"Teacher... Can you explain to me the English you just said, and what does the dealer mean..."The general gameplay Zhang Yalen understood, but some things have been beyond Zhang Yaleng's understanding, Liu Tiao spoke too fast and too much, Zhang Yaleng couldn't digest it at once.
"The dealer is the person who deals the cards, equivalent to the referee, as for those who speak English later, you can't understand it, in short, you remember, Texas Hold'em is a very skillful poker game, there is indeed a certain element of luck, but it is more important to rely on wits and brains. The rules are very simple, and I think it's relatively easy to master, but it's difficult to reach the level of mastery. For example, playing Texas Hold'em is like running a marathon, where whoever has the more patience and skill will win. Unlike other games in the casino, winning money is mostly a matter of luck. Hearing Zhang Yaleng ask such a stupid question, Liu Tiao didn't say anything about him, but patiently told Zhang Yaleng the essence of the whole game, everything is the same, as long as the essence is clear, then the remaining details will naturally be slowly understood.
"It's useless to just talk, just a few handfuls, come and see, first give you two at random, I'll take two more, and then choose 5 cards...."Liu Tiao said while moving his hand, and began to demonstrate to Zhang Yaleng.
Soon, Zhang Yaleng slowly became familiar with the entire Texas Hold'em, knowing how to play, and then Liu Tiao began to play a few with Zhang Yaleng seriously, the first few Zhang Yaleng was obviously still in the familiarization stage, so that Liu Tiao easily won 4 in a row, slowly Zhang Yaleng began to become proficient, a few even Liu Tiao secretly applauded, Liu Tiao found that in fact, Zhang Yaleng is still a little talented when he is serious, and he learns things very quickly, often Liu Tiao has just used the trick Zhang Yaleng will immediately learn and try to use, The results are not bad.
"The significance of playing poker is far greater than getting a good hand, you should understand that getting a good hand and a bad hand is just a chance of chance, of course, a good game is based on chance or luck, for example, you have a small pair of cards in your hand now, and mine is a high card, so you have a big advantage, but a bad hand does not necessarily mean that you will lose, you have to force the opponent to give up by sending signals or putting pressure on the opponent." In the process of playing, Liu Tiao will click on Zhang Yaleng one or two in key places, and this effect is much better, and the progress is very fast.
"Learning to think about what your opponent thinks, you really need to try to put yourself in their shoes, to see if you can read your opponent's every move and know from their own casual hints that they have the trump card in their hand, learning these will make you have a bigger chance of winning, remember the last time I always showed a good hand when the hand was bad? That's one of the methods, you are observing others, others are also observing you, controlling your own emotions or showing false emotions, everyone is doing the same thing, whoever catches the right information first, who wins more than half, this is control and analysis, everyone says that I am an analyst, the knowledge of analysis in every little thing, in gambling, in business, in fact, analysis is not as mysterious and advanced as you think, what you have to do is simply observe others. Liu Tiao's explanation of playing cards is permeated with his understanding of analysis and control, and these understandings will slowly and imperceptibly affect Zhang Yaleng, sometimes imparting knowledge is not only to tell knowledge, but also to integrate knowledge into every little thing.
"You're going to be a good gambler, but maybe it's going to hurt you, too." Liu Tiao packed up the pokers, it was close to noon, and it was almost time for him to leave.
"I can't...... I always lose ......" Hearing that Liu Tiao seemed to be praising him, Zhang Yaleng was a little embarrassed, Liu Tiao rarely praised a person, but he felt that Liu Tiao praised him a little too much, what a gambler? He felt that he would lose money if he gambled.
"A good gambler should be able to read words and feelings, and more importantly, be cautious and accept what he sees. I can see that in you, and sometimes I don't even have that, everybody wants to win, everybody wants to win big, everybody loses and expects to win back the next hand. And you're not, you can brake the brake every time, I know your thoughts, you're afraid of losing, and you're afraid that you won't be able to win back, so you won't go bankrupt. But you have to know the way, gambling gambling, gambling first, Bo last, I only teach you gambling, and Bo, is your own choice, sometimes, let go may make you gain a lot. After speaking, Liu Tiao didn't care about Zhang Yaleng's reaction, got up and left the ward.
Just as Liu Tiao left the ward, the door of the ward was pushed open again.
"Xu... Steward Xu? What are you doing here?! Seeing the person who pushed the door in, it was Xu Yuan in work clothes, Zhang Yaleng was a little surprised, he hadn't seen Xu Yuan for a long time, Xu Yuan gave him a feeling like a relative, or a friend who could be reassured.
"What? I'm not welcome to come, huh? I came over to bring you food, and it just so happened that there was nothing going on in the Feng Mansion, so Mr. Feng just asked me to take a look at your situation. Xu Yuan is the only normal woman Zhang Yaleng has seen in the past few days, and Xu Yuan's cute and lively personality suddenly made Zhang Yaleng feel very good, and the whole ward was also filled with a fresh feeling.
"Welcome, how can you not be welcome, I haven't seen you recently... Would love to... How have you been? Zhang Yaleng replied in a panic, he was relatively slow about these things between men and women, and quickly wanted to explain that he didn't welcome Xu Yuan, and wanted to say that he missed you very much, but when the words came to his lips, he held it back and asked Xu Yuan how he was doing.
"I'm fine, anyway, it's in the Feng Mansion every day, it's boring, there's no one in the whole building, it's cleaning and arranging every day, I want to come over, but I can't walk around." Xu Yuan, who is dressed in work clothes, has a mature intellectual beauty, coupled with Xu Yuan's temperament of a little girl, the contradiction between the two sets off a different taste, which is very attractive. While chatting with Zhang Yaleng, Xu Yuan brought the lunch prepared by the hospital for Zhang Yaleng to the table, and then sat down on the chair that Liu Tiao was sitting on just now.
"That's good....you just went out and didn't see Teacher Liu?"
"Uncle Liu, you say? See, we're here together, but I'm just waiting below, what are you and him doing here every day? Xu Yuan was a little puzzled, what is Zhang Yaleng's name as Teacher Liu, she didn't know that Uncle Liu was still a teacher?
"He, he's my teacher who came here to teach me something." Zhang Yaleng replied very seriously, but Zhang Yaleng couldn't say anything about what kind of thing he taught, because this was what Qiao Feng had warned him.
"That's right, how are you learning?" Xu Yuan nodded suddenly, since the last time the two of them talked to each other, the direct names of the two people have changed, and they have become as casual as friends.
"It's alright... Because he taught something I hadn't learned before... So it's not very easy either. Zhang Yaleng said.
"Returning to school, your body is still important, come and I'll feed you lunch."
