Chapter 60: Gambling
The two walked out of this street, only to find that the suspicious identity of the person was not only Cheng Hongbin. At the door of a small restaurant, a small hotel, and even a dilapidated casino, there are some thin men who seem to have nothing to do. They hold a cigarette in one hand and hide it in their arms in the other, which is a typical gun control position.
Cheng Liping finally understood what was going on. It turned out that all the information Lin Xingfa and the others had was wrong, and Wei Luheng's upline was not in Langshan, but in Gaolu County. Cheng Hongbin and this group of unknown men should have come to hunt.
Figuring out this matter, Cheng Liping was a little anxious. They didn't even have a phone call, they couldn't report the latest situation to Lin Xingfa, although they had guns in hand, they had very few bullets, and they were fighting with this group of outlaws, and they didn't want to die before they were paid. On second thought, they also have an advantage now, that is, the other party does not know their true identity yet. If the snipe and clam compete, they are the fishermen hiding behind, and they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally come out to pick up the ready-made.
The top priority is to find out the whereabouts of Wei Luheng's upline. Who is this person's surname, what kind of personality, who are around him, and where he often comes and goes. After lunch, Liu Weiguo refused to give in, saying that his previous duty was to conduct reconnaissance, and he should go out on his own. As a result, Cheng Liping blocked him back with a word.
"Do you speak the vernacular of this place?" Cheng Liping said with a smile.
Liu Weiguo didn't speak, took out the bullet, and wiped it gently.
Cheng Liping put on makeup for himself again, made him look like a thief, waited until it was dark, and walked straight to the casino on the street.
Although the county town of Gaolu is very barren, the entertainment industry is very developed, and almost every street has more than a dozen brightly lit bathing centers, and some scantily dressed young girls stretch out their long white legs, standing outside the door to wantonly attract passers-by. Cheng Liping pretended to be obscene, looked up and down around a few young girls, and when the squatting man came to drive him away, he scolded and walked to the casino next to him.
The name of the casino is very domineering, it is called the Tycoon Entertainment Center, but when you go inside, it is a big surprise. In the center of the hall, there are more than a dozen sparse gaming tables, except for one gambling table full of guests, only a few scattered guests are drinking at the other tables. Cheng Liping approached the table and saw seven or eight gamblers sitting around, and a dealer in a purple suit in the middle was dealing cards.
The gambler's face was very different, the one on the far left had a full beard, a dark complexion, thick lips, and a huge emerald ring on his hand. Next to him was a Caucasian man, only about thirty years old, with the least chips in front of him, and a sad face to lose. Next to him were two locals, dressed in ordinary clothes and with a pile of chips in front of them, who should be the big winners of the night. On the other side of the table, the first gambler turned out to be a cardamom girl, with a fair complexion and bright eyes. At first glance, he is only twenty years old, and although he is less than one meter six tall, his words and deeds are generous, which does not match everything here.
The remaining two gamblers are not good-looking, and they seem to be a little careless about the gambling game, and the chips are not too much, but they are not too much. Cheng Liping saw that there was still a vacant seat next to the girl, so he went to redeem a few chips and squeezed through the crowd to sit beside her. The winner of this game was Bearded, and his hand was full of cards, three jacks for a pair of 10s. The girl's hand was also good, with three 10s for a pair of sevens.
Seeing Cheng Liping involved, with only a few chips in front of him, the gamblers all laughed. The dealer still looked very polite, but there was also an element of contempt in his eyes, and politely said in English: "Sir, please play the small blind." ”
Cheng Liping took out a chip and threw it in. There is no way to gamble, because there is a limit on the amount of cash he can carry when entering the country, and he only brought a few thousand yuan. Some of it has been spent in the past few days, and the rest is only about 3,000 yuan. Converted into chips, it was only five hundred dollars. Chips come in large denominations of $10, $50 and $100. Two for $100, four for $50, and 10 for $10. Stacked together, extremely inconspicuous.
Although the Caucasian man only had a few chips left, they were all large amounts, he glanced at Cheng Liping disdainfully, and said, "Friends, I don't think beggars can also play with us." ”
The surrounding spectators laughed too. Texas Hold'em starts with a small number of blinds, but as the game progresses, the price starts to increase dramatically, and it's a bit whimsical to rely on a few hundred dollars to gamble.
Cheng Liping smiled and didn't say anything. The dealer dealt each person two hole cards, three community cards in the center of the table, and then made a gesture to speak, starting with the small blind.
The three community cards are the Ace of Spades, the Jack of Hearts, and the 10 of Clubs. Cheng Liping looked at his hole cards, a square 10, a spade 6. He was the first to toss a $10 chip without hesitation and said call. The girl was so atmospheric that she didn't even look at her hole cards and raised to $50. The two gamblers in the back looked at the hole cards and gave up directly. When it was the turn of the two big winners, the first person thought for a moment and followed $50, and after the other person called, he raised another $50 and the chips were 100 in an instant. The white man glanced at his hole cards lightly, followed the $100, and at the end of his beard, he smiled and said, "Be polite to the new guests, play slowly, and don't raise." ”
After speaking, he covered the hole cards in his hand and chose to give up.
The dealer begins to deal the fourth community card. A 5 of clubs is placed in front of everyone. Cheng Liping called as usual, looking at the girl next to him, who opened the corner of the hole card with two slender fingers and threw the card away elegantly. Turning to the big winner, the first person called the bet without thinking about it, and the second person looked at Cheng Liping sideways, and added another bet to $200. The white man glanced at the community cards, looked down at his hole cards, and finally gave up unwillingly.
The dealer dealt a fifth community card, which was a square 5. Cheng Liping is two pairs, one pair of 10 and one pair of 5. But the pair of 5s is a community card, and there are all of them, so it doesn't make much sense. Cheng Liping threw all the chips in front of him and said with a big grin: "All-in." ”
The people around you all booed, and all your chips were only a few hundred dollars, and you were pretending to be a big garlic learner to play "show hand." The dealer was very faceless, carefully counted Cheng Liping's chips, and said, "$380, all-in." As soon as the words fell, a new round of boos rang out again.
Both winners followed, and the cards were eventually drawn. The hole card in the first person's hand is a 10 of hearts and a king of clubs. The composition of the board is a pair of 10s, a pair of 5s, and a single king. Since the community card is the ace of spades, Cheng Liping narrowly won. The second person's hole cards are 10 of spades, 4 of hearts, and the same pair is a pair of 10s, a pair of 5s, and a single 4. As a result, Cheng Liping became the winner, earning more than $1,500 in one fell swoop.
The bearded man smiled and pulled out his hole cards. A jack of clubs, an 8 of hearts. If he doesn't choose to give up, the whole hand is his biggest hand. The spectators all sighed regretfully, but the bearded man shook his head disapprovingly, and said to Cheng Liping with a smile: "Little brother, you played well, I opened this casino, I haven't been here before, right?" ”
Cheng Liping ignored him and shouted to the dealer: "Go on, go on." ”
The girl smiled and said, "You dare to follow a pair of 10s, you are really bold." "She doesn't speak English, but Mandarin spoken in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Cheng Liping smiled very gentlemanly and said: "If you win, you are bold, and if you lose, you will become stupid." ”
The girl smiled and said, "But you are very lucky, if Boss William calls, you will lose everything." ”
Only then did Cheng Liping nod to the bearded man and said with a smile: "Mr. William, concede, concede." ”
The bearded man smiled magnificently and motioned to the dealer to deal the cards. This time, everyone's cards were very good, but the white man did not have enough chips, so he was the first to go out, and in the final stage, only Cheng Liping, the girl and the beard were left on the table. Cheng Liping repeated his old tricks and pushed out all the remaining chips in front of him again. The girl didn't follow, and there was only one left with a beard. Bearded Beard opened his cards proudly, he was a 3 of clubs and a jack of spades. The community cards are the 3 of spades, the 3 of hearts, the 4 of clubs, the 4 of squares, and the jack of clubs. 3 x 3, a pair of jacks. At the same time, Cheng Liping also showed his cards, he had a 4 of spades and a 4 of hearts, and the cards composed of four were four, completely eating the full house.
The table full of gamblers and spectators were stunned. What is the origin of this guy, he looks obscene, why is he so powerful. The beard was also a little unexpected, and laughed: "Yes, yes, young man, or let's play directly." ”
Cheng Liping glanced at the girl's face lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm not interested." ”
The bearded man turned his head to look at the girl and said with a smile, "Miss Xu, do you want to join?" ”
The girl gave Cheng Liping a roll of her eyes, and responded arrogantly: "Come on, I don't believe he is so lucky every time." ”
The original winner withdrew and went straight to redeem the chips. The casino here can not only exchange cash, but also direct transfers, and it only took a few minutes for the two big winners to exchange their chips and return to the table to watch the trio play.
Both the big and small blinds increased, and the initial stack rose to $50. Cheng Liping won two games in a row, and the gambling capital increased from $500 to more than 4,000 points. The girl's gambling book was roughly the same as his, and she had the most chips in her beard, which should be around 30,000. In the first game, Cheng Liping and Beard were defeated, and the girl completed the kill with a pair of threes, earning more than $4,000. As a result, Cheng Liping only has more than 2,000 points left, but his beard is not hindered at all. In the second game, it was the bearded man who won, and his card turned out to be just a high deck, the biggest one was a red heart king, and he could actually kill two of them. In the third game, Cheng Liping got a straight flush, and he thought he could win a lot of money, but he didn't expect that the two would not follow, and only picked up an ante.
The girl smiled and said, "This gentleman, go and cash in, don't lose your money." ”
Cheng Liping smiled and said, "My belongings are more than that. ”
The girl said, "yes, then why did you only take $500?" ”
Cheng Liping said: "There are still two sheep in the family that have not had time to sell, and if they are sold, there may be a little more." ”
The people around him were laughing again, but the bearded man nodded solemnly and said, "Little brother, where are you from?" The price of mutton is not bad this year, and you can make a lot of money raising sheep, right? ”
Cheng Liping turned a deaf ear and kept urging the dealer to deal cards. This round of community cards is very shocking, it turned out to be three aces, that is, anyone who gets the remaining ace can ensure victory. With the completion of the two rounds of community cards, the court cards become three aces and two kings. All three seemed to have good hands, and they fought it all the way to the end. The girl's hole card is a pair of queens, and the bearded man's hole cards are also a pair of queens, regardless of whether they win or lose. And Cheng Liping's hole card was a pair of kings, becoming the biggest winner, and none of the three got the final ace.
