Chapter 460: An Unexpected Change! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
The gamble continues.
After a while, one or twenty passed, and everyone won and lost.
Originally, the two people who lost the most were Greg and Steve. Cohen, though, as the game went on, Greg earned back a lot of money with the former World Champion's masterful handwriting.
Steve. Cohen didn't win back the money he lost like Greg, but the twenty held him back.
Zhao Haizhe also won a lot.
Aurora lost a bit too much, and the Latin American goddess of gambling was not bad at her poker skills, but the cards dealt tonight were really unfriendly to her.
Of course, it was Susie who lost the most, not to mention losing all the 50 million dollars in chips, and it was like the casino overdrew 50 million dollars in credit line chips, and even then she lost about 5 million, and she only had 45 million dollars in chips left on her table, so she lost a lot tonight.
The biggest charm of Texas Hold'em is that even if you know that all the subsequent hands can lose, at least the two bottoms of the big and small blinds can't run away.
Ji Chengzheng encountered this situation, I don't know if the previous two were too lucky, and the next one or twenty games, he was stunned that he didn't touch a good hand, even if one won the game by bluffing, but after so many hands, he still lost two million.
Zhao Haizhe was still in the same good mood as before, he smiled and looked to the side, "Lao Ji, you haven't won more than a dozen of them, right?" ”
After playing for such a long time, everyone is more familiar with it, plus Zhao Haizhe and Ji Cheng are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and they quickly got closer to each other.
Ji Cheng looked sideways and smiled: "It's okay if you don't win more than a dozen handfuls, I won more money than you won in one night." ”
The two of them are obviously messing with other people's mentality.
The most important thing is to play Texas Hold'em mentality, once the mentality is out of balance, even the best master will lose.
Sure enough, Susie and Aurora, the two people who lost the most money, didn't look good when they heard their conversation, and their mentality seemed to be affected.
"Maybe I'll win it back in the next hand." Susie no longer has the sweetness of a beautiful country sweetie.
Aurora's pretty face furrowed two eyebrows together.
On the contrary, it is another Steve who loses a lot of money. Cohen was still calm, and said with a smile: "It's normal for Texas Hold'em to win and lose, and if you're unlucky, the world champion may lose to a novice, so relax your mind and take it step by step." ”
Greg, the former world champion, also laughed and said, "yes, you can't win every night, and losing is part of the charm of Texas Hold'em." ”
While a few people were chatting, a new dealer came over.
This is already the fourth dealer.
Casinos have put a lot of effort into maintaining fairness and justice.
"Gentlemen and ladies, my name is John. Wilson, the dealer for your next few rounds of dealing, is happy to serve you. ”
The thirty-three-four-year-old white male dealer greeted politely.
"Hello Wilson."
"Thank you for dealing the cards to us."
The crowd responded politely.
Ji Cheng, who had not won ten games in a row, was a little anxious, because there was not much energy left in his system, probably more than five thousand points, that is, he could only use it five more times at most, as well as more than twenty seconds of perception enhancement.
It can't be put off any longer.
If it drags on any longer, Ji Cheng knows that he will definitely expose his true level due to energy exhaustion, and his poker skills are not as good as the group of Texas Hold'em masters on the table, and he will be slaughtered by others at that time.
It has to be done quickly.
Ji Cheng's eyes moved over everyone, wanting to find an opportunity to defeat the two first, and then decide the winner one by one.
Because there was not much energy left, this one didn't use perceptual enhancement to detect it at the beginning, but wanted to wait until the hand was dealt before watching, so that the observation time was shorter and the energy consumed was less.
The new dealer starts dealing cards.
Ji Cheng sent a square A and a grass flower 4, at this time, he saw that everyone had their cards in their hands, so he turned on the perception enhancement and detected everyone's cards.
Zhao Haizhe is the 9 of spades and the jack of hearts.
This time Greg is two fours, which are diamonds and spades.
Susie is the ace of hearts and the king of hearts.
Aurora is the ace of spades and the 7 of diamonds.
Steve. Cohen is a pair of threes, grass flowers and hearts.
Ji Cheng looked at the five community cards behind him, which were 6 of spades, 2 of grass flowers, 10 of hearts, 8 of spades and 8 of hearts.
According to the crowd hands seen and the subsequent community cards, everyone has at least a pair of eights, except Steve. Cohen and Greg have a pair that will form two pairs, and everyone else needs to compete for the victory with high cards, Ji Cheng has an ace and a 4 is not dominant, after all, Susie is an ace and a king, and Aurora is also a spade ace and a seven, which is bigger than Ji Cheng from the card.
Only Zhao Haizhe, the 9 of spades and the J of hearts have no possibility of winning.
However, it is possible for Zhao Haizhe to form a straight, and he generally does not fold in the first round of raising, and he will definitely decide whether to continue the game after reading the community cards.
It stands to reason that this kind of card Ji Cheng should fold, but he sees that everyone's hands are not too good, there is the possibility of stealing chickens, in addition, even if he loses, if there is a chance to drag a few into the water, he will face fewer opponents next, more convenient to harvest.
Thinking of this, Ji Cheng, who was sitting in the gun position, decided to lose as a bait, but he must drag a few people into the water, so he threw $300,000 in chips with a smile, "There is no ante bet community card to see." ”
Zhao Haizhe didn't even think about it, and directly followed the $300,000 chips.
Greg's hand is two 4s, which belong to the more Hu cards, he saw that Ji Cheng deliberately provoked a "battle", and smiled slightly, "300,000 is too little, add a little." ”
He counted the chips in his hand, then took out nine hundred thousand dollars in chips and threw them up.
The first round of raises came to $900,000, and there was a lot of pressure on the next few people, but there was no reason why Susie would not follow hands like the ace of hearts and the king of hearts, and she almost did not hesitate, "I followed too." ”
Behind is Aurora, her hand is a and 7, this kind of card is not good also has the possibility of winning, after all, there is a high card is a, say okay and can't talk about it, after all, the suit is different, and it is unlikely to make a straight, of course, it is not a pair, she hesitated for a long time, several times are ready to fold, but in the end I thought about it or gritted my teeth and followed.
It's Steve's turn. Cohen, he smiled, "Playing so big in the first round?" ”
Greg winked at him and said, "Then are you going to follow?" ”
"Why don't you follow?"
Steve. Cohen asked rhetorically, filling up his chips.
Everyone's eyes came to Ji Cheng again, because someone raised in the middle of the bet, he had to choose whether to follow or not, if he didn't, the $300,000 chips he threw just now would be gone, and it would be very risky to follow.
But Ji Cheng's concept is to sacrifice a little chip to drag everyone into the water, and strive to defeat the two, he saw someone raise, not only did not hesitate, on the contrary, he couldn't help but snicker in his heart, and then pretended to think about it, and raised the stakes again, "Since Mr. Greg wants to play bigger, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, well, raise the stakes higher, and I will add another 2.7 million." ”
Zhao Haizhe's face changed slightly, and he looked at Ji Cheng next to him in disbelief, as if he was guessing what the hand was, "Bet so big in the first round?" ”
Ji Cheng didn't look at him, but smiled at Greg: "Isn't this Mr. Greg wanting to play bigger, I'll accompany him." ”
The words are very provocative.
Greg smiled back.
Zhao Haizhe struggled for a while, and finally was reluctant to fold without looking at the first round of public cards, he gritted his teeth and said, "Follow again." ”
He made up his chips.
Greg originally wanted to raise the stakes because he had a good hand, but seeing that Ji Cheng was so cooperative, he knocked on the table, "Hehe, two million and seven million?" I'll add another nine million dollars, and if you don't follow, I'll laugh at the prize money. ”
One-to-4 is still very risky, and similarly, the first round of raising to nine million is also very risky.
Greg's idea was so good that if someone else followed, he wouldn't lose a pair of fours, but if someone else was scared by his raise, the chips on the table would be worth his one-pair 4 hand.
And after so many plays, he is indeed a little tired, almost holding the same idea as Ji Cheng, wanting to take advantage of this hand to see if there is a chance to drag a few into the water to knock it out.
Greg had a good idea, but the people behind him were under a lot of pressure.
Susie's two cards A and K are hearts, it can be said that from the hand point of view, this card has an advantage over the pair, after all, whether it is a or K, or a straight card, a flush card, she is likely to win, plus she is a little anxious to lose, do not hesitate to follow, "Add another nine million, right?" I followed. ”
She made up all her chips.
Aurora was frightened, she couldn't have played that big with the first raise, she shook her head with a wry smile, "Forget it, I'll fold." ”
Steve. Cohen is also a pair and has a good chance of winning, "I think ......"
He pondered for about a minute, "Come on." ”
"Oh? Greg, do you still add? Ji Cheng seemed to be "provoked", and his smile became brighter and brighter, "Why don't I add a little more......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Haizhe below smiled bitterly and said: "Old Ji, if you add it, it will be more than 20 million US dollars, is it really necessary to play so big?" ”
Susie was also unconfident, "yes, this is the first round of raising, and I'm about to make a bet." ”
Steve. Cohen smiled and said, "It's better to play bigger, it's late at night, it's over early, and I'll go back and rest." ”
Ji Cheng didn't care what the other people said, and pushed $27 million out, "Then play bigger." ”
Zhao Haizhe reluctantly folded, "It's too big to play, I still won't follow." ”
He didn't even see the community card and smashed a large amount of money, and he lost a lot.
But that's the case with no-limit Hold'em, where if someone else is willing to raise and you don't follow, you'll have to throw the money you threw in before.
Susie was a little anxious, and the hand was really good, so she said with a slight sigh: "I'll continue to follow!" ”
When she said this, her tone was very heavy, and she could see that she was under a lot of pressure.
Greg saw that the chips were so big, it was definitely impossible to add them up, "Well, I'll follow you." ”
Steve. Cohen only has a pair of threes, which is a good hand, but it is impossible to raise again, "Whew, 27 million?" I'll take a look at the situation again. ”
A lot of chips gathered in the middle of the table, and the amount of chips in the pool reached $123.3 million, and this is still the first round!
Ji Cheng knew that he would lose, but he was already close to defeating Susie and Steve. Cohen dragged him into the water, and his smile widened, as long as these two were defeated, he could find a chance to win the remaining four without so much effort.
The new male dealer saw that everyone's raise was over, and he smiled and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, since you have finished raising, then I will deal the community card......
He didn't finish his sentence, Steve. Cohen suddenly said, "Cut out a few cards and then deal community cards, do you think my proposal will work?" ”
When he said this, he also deliberately glanced at Ji Cheng.
"Cut cards? Why do you want to cut ......" Susie didn't react at first, until she saw Steve. Cohen looked at Ji Cheng's gaze before he came to his senses, and then she quickly changed her words: "Well, it's okay to cut off a few cards." ”
Greg didn't speak, but he understood that Steve. Why Cohen made this suggestion.
Because it was too weird for Ji Cheng to win two before, each one won just right, so to speak, if there is a card in the wrong order, he will lose miserably, and even everyone once wondered if he colluded with the casino to get out of the old man.
Although this possibility is almost non-existent, it does not prevent everyone from thinking that Ji Cheng is an evil person.
In addition, even if Ji Cheng won the previous one, he didn't raise the bet much, and this time he suddenly played very big, and it happened that the dealer was changed at this time, and everyone couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Mr. Ji, can you see it?" Steve. Cohen looked at him with a deep look.
Greg and Susie also had an inexplicable flicker in their eyes, as if as long as Ji Cheng said no, they would ask the casino to carefully check everything.
Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, because he played this card with the idea of losing, and the next five community cards were very unfavorable to him, but he really didn't expect Steve. Cohen will make such a request, and although it is not known how many cards will be cut off by the dealer later, his cards will have a chance to come back to life.
Of course, there is only a chance.
But no matter how you say it, it's better than losing now.
Ji Cheng's heart blossomed, of course he wouldn't refuse, "Okay, cut off a few." ”
"Is there a requirement to cut out a few?" The male dealer asked.
Steve. Cohen and the others looked at each other, and then took the initiative to say, "What do you think of cutting out three as usual?" ”
"No comment."
"Yes."
Both Greg and Aurora agreed.
Ji Cheng naturally didn't have any opinions, "Yes." ”
The dealer moved quite fast, and cut off the cards before Ji Cheng had time to use the perception enhancement to watch, and then took out the three community cards and turned them over, which was a pair of 8s and a Q, a pair of 8s were suited of spades and hearts, and Q was a grass flower.
This time, Ji Cheng simply didn't use the perception enhancement to watch it, because he didn't know that Steve. Will Cohen and others ask the dealer to continue cutting cards?
When the first round of community cards was dealt, there was a new change in the cards of everyone present.
Ji Cheng became a pair of 8s and high aces, which was not much different from the final result he detected before.
Greg became a pair of 4 and 8.
Susie also has a pair of 8s and high aces, but she has aces and kings in her hand, and depending on this trend, there is still hope for a straight.
Steve. Cohen is a pair of 3s and a pair of eights.
Ji Cheng looked at the current trend of this card is that Greg has the best chance of winning, while Susie and Steve. Cohen didn't have too many chips on the table, and he wondered if he could take the opportunity to knock them out, so he looked directly at Steve, who had a little more chips, during the raise phase. Cohen, "Mr. Cohen, how much leverage do you have?" ”
"Huh?" Susie didn't understand why Ji Cheng asked this.
Greg is already aware of it!
Steve. Cohen also seemed to see through Ji Cheng's intentions, and smiled, "I'll count, please wait." ”
"Okay." Ji Cheng was not in a hurry.
Steve. Cohen looked down and counted, "I still have 17 million dollars in chips." ”
"Well, that's seventeen million dollars."
Ji Cheng counted out $17 million in chips and piled them up.
Greg has two pairs, and it is very likely that he will take the gourd next, and he can also see that Ji Cheng is looking for an opportunity to defeat one or two opponents, although he doesn't know if he is one of them, but this kind of card is impossible not to follow, "This will follow me." ”
He also pushed $17 million in chips out.
It was Susie's turn, she only had fifteen million dollars of chips left on her table, and she had just taken out $30 million in chips to bet on it, even if the cards were not very good, it was impossible for a strong man to break his wrist.
Susie gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sucked!" ”
She pushed all the chips in front of her.
Steve. Cohen and Greg are the same type of cards, and the possibility of getting a full house is also very high, and he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's see if this is the last hand I play tonight, and I'll do it too." ”
He also pushed all the chips in front of him onto the table.
The chip amount is now $189.3 million!
The dealer saw the end of this round of raising, and asked again: "Do you want to cut the cards and deal again?" ”
"Let's go ahead and cut the cards." Steve. Cohen sticks to the strategy.
Several others were equally okay.
Ji Cheng is rushing to lose anyway, so naturally he will not object.
The dealer randomly cuts three cards and then deals a fourth community card.
8!
It's an 8 again!
Although it was an 8 of diamonds this time, and there was no 8 on the table, Greg and Steve. Cohen has made up a gourd!
Susie guessed Ji Cheng, Greg and Steve. Cohen could have been a full house, but she's already ticked, so she certainly won't fold at this time, and if she plays another ace or a king, she still has a chance to win.
Steve. Cohen was the same, although he got the gourd card, but there were no chips on the table, and it was impossible to increase the stack at this time.
Everyone's attention is on Ji Cheng and Greg, they still have a lot of chips, and everyone wants to see if they will continue to gamble.
Greg said very decisively: "I counted just now, I still have about 37 million US dollars in chips, Mr. Ji, I shuttled, are you with me?" ”
After that, he didn't wait for Ji Cheng to answer, and directly pushed out all the chips in front of him.
Ji Cheng is not a fool, his purpose is to drag the two into the water, so that he can find a chance to settle the situation later, and this kind of card in front of him, he has almost no possibility of winning, how can he follow again?
When the goal was achieved, he shook his head with a smile, and directly turned over the cards and said, "Forget it, fold the cards." ”
"The odds of an ace and a 4 winning are very small, so it's wiser to fold now." Zhao Haizhe nodded in support of Ji Cheng's decision.
Aurora also said: "Yes, if you have a pair in your hand and you can fight a hand, this kind of card is not necessary." ”
Alas.
It's just a pity that the hand is too bad.
This one threw in 47 million dollars in order to drag the two families into the water, which is considered a waste.
However, Ji Cheng knew that it was necessary to do so, because playing Texas Hold'em is not just as simple as winning every hand, of course, it is best to win every hand, and sometimes it is necessary to use a little strategy to concentrate the chips on one person, so as to facilitate the final battle to harvest, otherwise if there are too many people, it may not be possible to tell the winner in a fierce battle all night, and in the end all the money is taken by the casino pump.
Besides, he really doesn't have much energy, and only by using this method can he have a chance to win everyone's money.
That's right, losing money is sometimes a clever tactic.
Because Ji Cheng folded, Steve. Cohen and Susie are both shuttled again, and then Greg has no opponents who can increase the weight, so the dealer can directly deal the tail cards to determine the winner.
However, the dealer still asked very professionally: "Do you still need to cut the cards?" ”
Because Ji Cheng was eliminated, Steve. Cohen shrugged his shoulders lightly, "There's no need, just send it." ”
Greg and Susie reacted in the same way.
Ji Cheng looked at them speechlessly, "You cut the cards just to prevent me?" ”
"Haha."
"No way, who made you have two hands of luck before."
"It's like, if you don't cut the cards, maybe you'll win again."
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
While everyone was talking, the dealer dealt out the tail card, which was a 10 of spades.
Greg 3 8 2 4 bet wins!
Steve. Cohen lost three of a kind 8 two 3 regrettably!
Susie didn't make up a gourd, of course, there was no possibility of winning at all, she lost all her chips, not to mention, she also owed the casino 50 million dollars in credit, and her face suddenly became ugly.
Greg beamed with joy as he collected his chips.
Ji Yuan was ready for the next game, and he asked in a strange way, "Cut off two more cards and send them to me to see what cards are." ”
"Yes, sir."
The dealer didn't take it seriously, cut off two cards casually, and then took out another card, which was a 4!
Greg looked at it and immediately smiled, "Haha, Ji, you are fortunate that you didn't follow just now, otherwise we would definitely ask to continue to cut the cards, and then I will be the same as you with three 8 and two 4 gourd cards, and I will share the bottom of the pool with you." ”
Susie was very uncomfortable losing all and didn't speak.
Steve. Although Cohen also lost everything, he was in a really good mood, and commented: "Yes, after cutting the card, and then issue a 4, that is to win two, but unfortunately Mr. Ji, you don't have the courage to follow, hehe, no way, this is also the charm of Texas Hold'em." ”
Zhao Haizhe shook his head with a smile and said, "It's a pity that I don't regret the medicine." ”
Aurora also shook her head with a smile over there, obviously feeling sorry for Ji Cheng.
No regret pills?
Who said I didn't have regret pills?
Ji Cheng saw that cutting off two cards and counting the tail card that was issued before, which is equivalent to cutting off three cards, and then sending out 4, he felt that he could "regret" it!
Although he is not sure if the dealer will cut off the three cards and deal the tail card after using the time rewind, Ji Cheng finally saw the possibility of winning this handful, and he definitely couldn't miss this opportunity.
Turn back the clock!
Back a minute ago, Ji Cheng found that he had folded the cards, and hurriedly used a time rewind.
Brushing the floor, Greg's voice came from his ears, "I counted just now, I still have about 37 million US dollars in chips, Mr. Ji, I'm struggling, are you with me?" ”
It's back!
It's really back to the time before I folded!
Ji Cheng was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that he could still use three times to go back in time, that is, he could also go back in time for three minutes, so even if the dealer didn't cut three cards and then deal the tail cards, he could at least guarantee that he wouldn't lose too much, but if the dealer still cut off the three cards according to his habit and then dealt them, then he would win big!
After thinking about it, in order not to waste time, Ji Cheng almost didn't hesitate, "I'll follow!" ”
After that, he aggressively pushed $37 million in chips to the table, whether he was sure to lose, or to share the bottom prize with Greg, it was up to the dealer to cut a few cards!
