Old one-eyed!

Xiang Nanxing was almost about to shout, but he couldn't hold back at the last moment. But this movement still attracted Liang Jingmo's attention. "Do you know this host?" He asked.

Xiang Nanxing hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth. In the case of being unprepared, he is really not sure that he will hide the matter from Liang Jingmo, so it is better to tell the truth, so there is still a person to discuss.

"It's a prisoner from the same district as us, who used to be in the room next to me and doesn't go out much. I've had a few words with him......" he thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'm not sure now. Maybe it's just a host who likes to live in a prison cell pretending to be a prisoner, after all, he's wearing a black suit now. ”

"Black suits, as long as there are materials, there are ingenious people who can imitate them. One of the characteristics of this prison is that it wants to make the game more interesting and mobilize the imagination of the player when preparing for the game, so almost everything is sold in the commissary. Liang Jingmo smiled, "And this prison does not require people to wear prison uniforms, most people wear prison uniforms every day, in fact, it is just because they are too lazy to find other clothes to wear." ”

"No prison uniforms?" Xiang Nanxing felt incredulous.

"Yes, I've read through all the rules, and there's no one. And here, it is feasible if there is no prohibition in the law, which I have tried before. Liang Jingmo said with a smile, "I can be regarded as a master in terms of drilling loopholes, and I can be trusted." ”

"This is true......" Xiang Nanxing muttered. He remembered the inexplicable extra card from the last game, which was really a trick that only people who specialize in exploiting loopholes can think of.

Liang Jingmo looked at the people on the field and sighed: "So according to what you say, the two people in this game are from the previous district, and one of them is also dressed as the host in a black suit, and he is also a player and a referee, I seem to be able to guess what he means." ”

"It's not certain that he's pretending to be the host."

Xiang Nanxing said on his lips, but in his heart he already agreed with Liang Jingmo's speculation. After all, he and Lao Duyan have been together for a while, although the relationship is not too deep, but it can be seen that the other party is not like a super elite like the host.

What's more, he noticed the attitude of the guards in the distance. In the case of regular moderators, the guards are either on surveillance duty from a distance, or they are summoned to maintain order near the arena. But at this time, the two guards over there were huddled together and whispered, looking at this side from a distance, with a smile on their faces as if they were looking at the excitement with bad intentions.

Looking at this reaction, it does look like Liang Jingmo's speculation. Maybe these guards also asked for advice on whether to arrest people, but the result is probably as Liang Jingmo said, it is feasible if there is no prohibition under the law, and the decision of the prison is to wait and see.

"The players and the referees colluded in order to unite to deceive the other side." Xiang Nanxing squinted his eyes and looked at the playing cards scattered on the field, "What are they playing here?" ”

"Let's swap five cards. Should be. ”

Just as Liang Jingmo was talking, the newcomer who was in the first district with them had already replaced all the five cards in his hand, and the black guy on the other side decided to change three cards after thinking about it, and he had already taken the replaced cards in his hand at this time. The moment he saw the three new cards, Xiang Nanxing noticed that his brow jumped twice uncontrollably.

This is already a joy in the face. It seems that this hand is a pretty good draw.

"Keep two, change three, most likely have a pair in hand at the beginning. Judging by his expression, this exchange is estimated to be made up of three or two pairs. Liang Jingmo said, looking at the newcomer on the other side. That guy just changed all five cards, and now he is holding the new five cards, but his face is cloudy.

Obviously, a five-card all-in means that you start with a jumble hand, which is not uncommon, but an all-in is nothing more than an all-or-nothing approach. In retrospect, the gamble didn't make much sense.

Not only did the two of them see it, but the surrounding onlookers also saw the clues from the expressions of both sides, and the black guy who had improved the situation did not let go of the flaws shown by the other party.

"Twenty years!" He said proudly, raising his hand and throwing twenty chips. This is a lot of bets in an ordinary battle, and it immediately led to several exclamations around. It's just that for Liang Jingmo and Xiang Nanxing, this level of chips is not enough at all, you must know that not long ago, there were six or seven hundred chips stacked on the table where the two of them were standing.

"Cut!"

The rookie stood holding the cards for a while, and finally threw them on the table in annoyance. At this point, the draw has passed, so the only explanation for this action is to fold, that is, to give up the game. In this way, the black guy got the chips they pressed on the table before, and looking like that, there were only eight or ten in total.

The black guy who took away the chips swung his fist hard, and the heavy pressure seemed to be cathartic. His cards were scattered all over the table, a pair of jacks and a pair of queens, which was quite a large hand.

After that, the old one-eyed, who was temporarily the host, took away the cards on the tables on both sides and the cards that had not been dealt and replaced them with a new deck of poker. After consulting both sides, he nodded and handed out the initial five cards to the players on both sides in turn. At the same time, the newcomer and the black guy at both ends of the table each took out a chip from the drawer and put it on the table. This is the "ante" of this game.

The "five card swap" game here is no different from the one played in the casino outside in terms of rules, except that the chips have been changed from money to prison. At the beginning of each hand, both players must first press down the presiding officer, who doubles as a dealer, and deal five starting cards to each of the players, before starting the first round of betting. The two players swap as the first bidder, and then the opponent can choose to call or raise, or simply fold and forfeit, but then lose the ante they placed at the beginning.

When the first round of betting is complete, starting with the player who is bidding, they can choose which cards to keep, and the remaining cards are discarded, and the host deals the cards to make up to five. Players can choose to keep as many cards as they want in their hand, either keep them all or give them up altogether. Once the two players have completed this step, it is time for the second bet round.

This time, the order of bidding will be reversed, that is, the player who is the next player in the first round will bid first, and the specific rules will be the same as in the previous round. When both sides have finished betting, the host will ask them to open their hands, at which point the winning team can take all the chips on the table.

There are subtle differences in the rules when it comes to card size comparisons, such as three of a kind being higher than two pairs in some places, and vice versa in other places, where two pairs are the upper hand. But in any case, from the situation just now, the newcomer Jun's new hand of cards is estimated to be a pair, and the black guy on the opposite side is at least two pairs or three after the change of cards, and it is not good to get a four, the winner is clear, and the choice to give up now at least reduces the loss, a wise approach.

"Just looking at this game, you probably think that both sides are rookie-level players." Liang Jingmo commented lightly, "The point of the five-card draw is not to win, but how to deal with the problem of betting. Like just now, the black guy did win, but he took such a good hand for nothing, and in the end he got the opponent's ante bet and a few insignificant chips in the first round, which made no sense at all. It is better to show weakness appropriately and seduce the other party to bet, so that you have a chance to use this good deck of cards. ”

"On the other hand, even if you get a bad hand, there's no need to just throw it all in the first place. It's no different from throwing in the towel. If you're a veteran, even if you feel like you don't have any hope of winning, you'll at least pick only two or three of the cards to swap out. Anyway, if you lose, you lose, and if you can use this to bluff the other party into making a wrong decision, wouldn't it be earned in vain. It's just ......"

Liang Jingmo blinked: "This evaluation should also be based on the premise that he did draw a bad hand." ”

Xiang Nanxing nodded: "Indeed, if you want to find a way to attract the other party to advance, it is a good practice to deliberately seek defeat and show your layman's side." He is no stranger to this hand, after all, when he faced Luo Baichuan before, he thought he had the initiative in his hands, and he deliberately lost several times, so that Luo Baichuan thought that he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and gradually increased the stakes under pressure.

Although the ending proves that he was just put on a ...... by the other party Alas, this failed past is not to be mentioned.

At this time, if the assumption of the two of them is true, and this newcomer and the old one-eyed are really in the same group, then it is entirely possible that he will deliberately lose to attract the black guy on the opposite side to place a heavy bet. As Liang Jingmo said, the most important thing in a game like "5 Card Draw" is how to attract the opponent to bet heavily when he has a good hand, and this is not just a matter of one hand. At this time, what the newcomer is doing is mostly to run this line of thought through the entire game.

After all, if there is a fake host on his side, how many tricks can be played, not to mention that this partner is also a dealer at this time, if the old one-eyed hand can be as delicate as the dealer in the casino outside, it is simply what card to what card, winning or losing is not all in control.

It's just that this newcomer has only just come in the past few days, and this time is not enough to cultivate any friendship, and the old one-eyed man is usually withdrawn and suspicious of people, so he is naturally not easy to be bought by verbal promises. So why is he willing to show up to help out?

When Xiang Nanxing thought of this, his heart suddenly moved. The story that Old One-Eye had told the day before suddenly came to mind, and combined with his strange emphasis at the end, a faint clue seemed to gradually take shape in his heart. He thought for a while, leaned closer to Liang Jingmo and asked in a low voice, "By the way, do you know what this newcomer who just came in is called?" ”

"Looks like Lorraine." Liang Jingmo replied truthfully.

"Really......"

Xiang Nanxing looked at the young man named Lorraine not far away. The situation in front of him matches the story he has heard, and the abnormal performance of the old one-eyed in the past few days has also found the root, and sure enough, it all stems from his unclear story, and the clue character in it is standing there at this time.

One Los Angeles, one Lorraine.

Look at this name, if it is not father and son, at least it should be a brother!
