Texas Fight is one of the most popular card games in the world.

Among them, there are many financial veterans, and many famous investors are loyal players of Texas Hold'em.

For example, Warren Buffett, the famous fund manager, Peter Buffett, the famous fund manager. Lynch, founder of top hedge fund Ken. Griffin.

There are also many elders in Huaxia who like to play, such as Li Kai, Zhang Lei and so on.

"Why does Texas Hold'em have the affection of so many big financial figures?"

In the room, Manager Li asked with blazing eyes.

Where did Ji Cheng know why, he shook his head bluntly.

Manager Li continued: "First of all, Texas Hold'em is very interesting, secondly, it has high-end connections, and finally and most importantly, Texas Hold'em has a lot in common with investment, especially many concepts and strategies can be said to be highly similar, Texas Hold'em risk, rationality, greed, fraud, is basically a mirror of the capital market, people who play Texas Hold'em are actually investing in training when they play. ”

As soon as he said this, Ji Cheng became interested, "Oh? Let's talk about it carefully. ”

"I'll talk about the rules of the game first, otherwise you won't be able to understand the rules of the game if you don't understand it."

Manager Li seemed to know a lot about Texas Hold'em, and he began to explain to Ji Cheng and some of the people present who had never played before.

"Texas Hold'em is played similarly to Stud." Manager Li said slowly: "Of course, there are also differences. He paused, "For example, Texas Hold'em and Stud are a deck of cards to remove the big and small kings and leave fifty-two cards to play, Stud also has a simple way to remove two, three, four, five, six, seven, win or lose is almost the same, the biggest is to a straight flush, followed by a straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pairs, pair and high card." ”

Ji Cheng was stunned when he heard this, "According to what you say, there is no difference between these two ways of playing." ”

Zhu Siguo laughed and took over the words: "Of course there is a difference. ”

Ji Cheng looked over and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"The biggest difference is the way the cards are dealt." Manager Li took the words back, "For example, Stud is to give you five cards, and then you use these five cards to compare the suit and size with others, Texas Hold'em is not, it only gives you two hole cards, and the remaining five open cards community cards, you need to use the two cards in your hand and five community cards combined, select five cards, no matter how many cards are used in your hand, you can even use the hole cards in your hand, make up the largest card, and compare the size with other players." ”

Ji Cheng listened carefully, knowing that these were all related to whether he could win money tonight, so he listened very carefully.

Manager Li also knew everything and explained the ways of Texas Hold'em in detail.

For example, Stud can only win alone, but Texas Hold'em is not, and Texas Hold'em can win double or even triple win.

In addition, Texas Hold'em betting is also different from Stud, starting with the big and small blinds, then there are four rounds of cards and bets in between, and finally the player shows the card to the big and small.

……

The other side.

Mark. After sending off Ji Cheng and the others, Gianan Nantonio quickly began to make contacts.

"Haha, dear Ms. Aurora, I heard you've been in New York lately?" Mark. Giannan Tonio holds the landline microphone to his ear.

The voice of a twenty-seven- or eighteen-year-old woman came from the other end, "Oh? It's Mark, is there a gamble looking for me? ”

Mark. Giannan Tonio immediately said: "Yes, I met a very bold Chinese merchant customer here, he doesn't like the hall to play, and wants to play bigger, so I want to ask if you are in New York, if you are, you can sit down and play together tonight." ”

Kacha Kacha.

It seems to be the sound of a kerosene lighter.

Then there was a sound of cigarette sucking and exhaling, and then the woman called Aurora said slowly: "It's here, but I'm not interested in playing too young." ”

"It's not small, you still don't worry about the gambling game I arranged?" Mark. Giannan Tonio was afraid that the other party would refuse, so he directly said the number and said: "Each person carries a minimum of 50 million US dollars in gambling funds, and you need to verify the capital to participate, how about it, are you interested?" ”

"Fifty million?" Aurora's voice seemed to become a little excited, "Then how many people do you arrange?" ”

Mark. Giannan Tonio said: "I expect to arrange six people, how about it, do you want to come?" ”

Aurora asked, "Who are you going to arrange?" And is that Huaxia merchant a master? ”

"That Huaxia merchant is definitely a master." Mark. Giannan Tonio said in a serious tone: "He used to play blackjack in our casino hall and could divide thirty-two decks of cards, do you say he is a master?" ”

Aurora inhaled and said in disbelief: "Thirty-two decks of cards can be divided when you play in the hall?" Doesn't that mean that he got all the same cards in all eight decks? This...... How is this possible! ”

Mark. Giannan Tonio smiled bitterly, "I still think I was dreaming when I think about it, but that's just the way it is. ”

Aurora fell silent.

Mark. Giannan Tonio said in a seductive tone: "Aurora, as the strongest female gambling god in Latin America, although you have not participated in any professional events, you have secretly swept Atlantic City and Las Vegas, and you have won and lost 40 million in one game, you shouldn't be afraid of that Oriental, right?" ”

Yes, Aurora is known as the strongest female gambling god in Latin America, although this person is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but she is famous in the poker game circle, she has continued to wander in major casinos after adulthood, and every time she can make a lot of money, and what made her famous is the gambling in a Texas casino in 2019, just one game of Texas Hold'em won or lost reached 40 million US dollars, this record made her a casino "myth", but also became a thorn in the side of many casino owners.

Because of this, Aurora began to be blacklisted by major casinos, and could only rely on Mark. Casino executives like Giannan Tonio arrange gambling games to win.

"Who else is participating?" Aurora asked.

Mark. Giannan Tonio replied, "The other four are Johnny Chen's apprentice Zhao Haizhe, Michigan female gambling champion Susie, former World Series of Poker Texas Poker Championship champion Greg, and billionaire Steve Brown. Cohen. ”

Aurora was stunned and said, "Steve. Cohen, can you invite me? He's one of the best hedge fund bosses in the world! ”

Some people may not know Steve. Who is Cohen, but if you know hedge funds, you will know that this "Jordan" in the industry, also known as the opposite of Warren Buffett, he is known as the king of hedge funds on Wall Street!

"Of course." Mark. Giannan Tonio said proudly: "Steve. Cohen has a lot of relationship with my boss, and often wants to have a good time with the Texas Hold'em masters, I haven't found a chance before, and it just so happens that this time the Oriental man showed his miraculous gambling skills, although it is in blackjack, but since he dares to take the big gambling game of Texas Hold'em, then the level must be high enough, plus you, Susie, Greg and Zhao Haizhe and other masters participated, Steve. Cohen will definitely come. ”

Aurora smiled wryly and said, "If Steve. Cohen participated, and I'm afraid tonight's gamble is not something that everyone can play for 50 million dollars. ”

"Are you not confident in yourself?" Mark. Giannan Tonio asked rhetorically.

Aurora seemed to be stimulated, "How is it possible, I'm afraid that the funds will not be remitted to your casino account so quickly, after all, there is a lot of money involved." ”

"Hehe, we can give you a $100 million credit account." Mark. Giannan Tonio seductively said, "No interest will be charged for seven days." ”

"Okay, I'm part of the game." Aurora finally agreed.

Mark. The corners of Gianan Nantonio's mouth showed an arc, in fact, none of the few people he just said could be done, but as long as Aurora, the legendary female gambling god, agreed, it would be much easier for the others.

Sure enough, he dialed the next person's number, "My buddy Zhao, is there a big gamble tonight...... Who is participating? Aurora is also coming...... Haha, you won all her money, isn't she willing to be at your mercy...... Okay, okay, see you at seven o'clock tonight. ”

"My dear baby Susie......"

Mark. Giannan Tonio kept contacting the masters, wanting to get together the masters for Ji Cheng, and then pump some water hard at night.

……

Night.

Ji Cheng, who had studied Texas Hold'em poker skills for half an afternoon, took a short nap before being called up by Manager Li and others and came to the casino again by car.

Mark. Giannan Tonio personally waited at the door with the casino executives and went upstairs.

The crowd walked through the hall to the VIP room.

As soon as he entered, Ji Cheng was a little shocked by the luxurious decoration style.

The inside is truly resplendent with gold, and the light sprinkled by every hanging seems to be made of gold, the top sofas, carpets, and chefs are waiting around, and there are dozens of beautiful women and handsome service staff.

The most conspicuous is the Texas Hold'em gambling table in the middle, which seems to be the same as the final table of the World Championship, and has a projection function, which is very high-end and atmospheric.

The six chairs next to the poker table also seemed to be specially customized, and Ji Cheng could feel that the chair was very comfortable before he went up and sat down.

"Mr. Ji, these are the people I arranged for you." Mark. Giannan Nantonio smiled and pointed to the five people who had already taken their seats, and introduced them one by one.

Ji Cheng knew them one by one.

The Latin American beauty sitting next to him is called Aurora, and it is said that this Latin American diva Shakira is a member of a country, all of whom are from the Colombian state.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but take a look at this twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old Latin American beauty, although she was wearing a women's suit, but the tight women's suit and white shirt could not hide her proud figure, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Shakira when she was young, but she looked even more attractive, as if she had a hint of charm.

The man with an oriental face in his thirties named Zhao Haizhe looks very ordinary, but it is said that he is a member of a certain Chinese organization, not only rich in wealth, but also very powerful, and more importantly, this person is the apprentice of Chen Johnny, the ten-time World Series of Poker champion and the prototype of the God of Gambling Gaojin, and his gambling skills are very superb.

Susie is a typical beautiful national sweet girl, also twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but her appearance is sweet and sweet, and her dress is very unrestrained, but she is still not as good as Aurora.

The yellow-haired white man wearing sunglasses and a black T-shirt is the former Texas Hold'em World Champion Greg, who looks thirty-four or five years old, and is said to have won a huge prize of nearly 10 million US dollars in one fell swoop when he won the World Texas Hold'em Championship.

As soon as Ji Cheng heard it, he knew that these people were very good at gambling, and he knew that it was not easy to win money tonight.

But when he heard that Mark. Giannan Tonio only showed a look of surprise when he introduced the last person.

"This old gentleman must have heard of his famous name even if he hasn't seen anyone, right?" Mark. Giannan Tonio smiled and introduced: "He is the king of Wall Street hedge funds, Steve. Cohen! ”

it!

Steve. Cohen?

Ji Cheng was really shocked, he didn't expect Mark. The opponent that Giannan Tonio arranged for himself is so awesome, he is actually a super-rich man worth tens of billions of dollars, in fact, being worth tens of billions of dollars is not something to surprise Ji Cheng, after all, he has more wealth in the eighties than the one in front of him, and the reason why he is surprised is entirely because of this person's legendary experience.

Steve. Cohen, who looks to be about sixty-six or seventeen years old, was born in a middle-class family on Long Island, New York, and is said to have learned how to take risks in his Texas Hold'em hobby when he was in middle school, and then he was admitted to the Wharton School with the help of a friend, and he opened a trading account with the help of a friend during school, and made a fortune with a thousand dollars of start-up capital, and then he entered a small investment bank as a junior trader, and he showed amazing talent on his first day on the job. I made 8,000 dollars, and I know it was 1978.

Finally enough money and connections to accumulate, Steve. Cohen founded the well-known SAC investment firm on Wall Street, and back in 2010, Steve Brown. Cohen and his investment team bought and sold 100 million shares on the firm's trading floor every day, and in 2014, Steve Cohen and his investment team bought and sold 100 million shares on the firm's trading floor. Cohen has a brilliant record of earning $2.5 billion in total revenue in eight months!

You can imagine how powerful this person is!

Ji Cheng wondered if he could find a chance to make friends with such a person, but he quietly stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Cohen." ”

"Hello."

Steve. Cohen also stretched out his hand and shook Ji Cheng.

After shaking hands, Ji Cheng said to Manager Li, Cheng Hailin and others who came with him: "You guys should find a sofa to sit on first." ”

"Okay."

Manager Li, Zhu Siguo and others all knew that if the gambling game started, they could see the battle situation from the big screen.

As he spoke, several staff members came up with trays full of chips.

These staff members respectfully put the chips on the table in front of Ji Cheng and the others.

The smallest chip is worth $100,000, and the largest is worth $1 million!

Ji Cheng looked at a few people next to him and felt his blood boiling inexplicably, just looking at these chips, he knew that tonight's win or loss would definitely not be small, if the battle was fierce, it would be very easy to win or lose hundreds of millions of dollars in one night, and even hundreds of millions of dollars could be possible.

How much money you can win depends on your own ability!

Ji Cheng took a deep breath and prepared for the start of the gambling game.
