Chapter 145: Stud

Derry's black and white eyes flashed a different kind of luster, and when the blonde young man in front of him talked to him in the form of a transaction, he saw that the other party had priced his order.

[1,000,000 [underlying assets]!] 】

The requirements for this order are also very simple, just use [Sphinx] to make some information about the questions, and in the process of inquiry, the blonde youth guarantees that the whole process of the inquiry will follow the "Financial Law".

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, a million orders, according to your current partner authority, can be divided into half. As you know, the economy of the countries of Terra has been very unstable recently, and the Black Goat incident has emerged one after another, although the currency has not yet been depreciated on a large scale, and there have been no major problems in the two-way circulation between the extraordinary and the world, but now the discerning people have already felt the increasing tension in the international situation and the increasing number of extraordinary events, and the smart people have begun to carry out [asset realization].

The balanced leverage created by [underlying assets] and [extraordinary assets] for [financial street] has begun to tilt.

If you think about it, 500,000 [basic assets] can be obtained by just nodding your head, and this is also a huge amount of money for workers. Moreover, although you are a partner in a headhunting firm, you are essentially a part-time worker. ”

The blonde young man's index finger tapped rhythmically on the table, his handsome face with a brilliant smile, his words were obviously so sincere, but his heart was full of bewitchment.

This demagogy is like a decoy in the darkness, using its vague charm to arouse the greedy soul and entangle it deeply, inducing him to make a decision.

Adélie Penguin took a big sip of the cigar in his hand, his long beak was spitting out mist like a cloud, and at this moment he had already sensed what the blonde young man might be doing with the [Sphinx], and the other party had a high probability of success.

"Mr. Derry, do you want to gamble on it, I heard that Adélie penguins are very lucky, and I especially want to see it."

Before Adélie Penguins could respond, Xia Xiu first launched a gambling invitation to Delhi.

[Casino: [Van Helsing] has launched a gambling offer to you (Texas Hold'em)! 】

[Do you choose to accept it?] 】

[Yes / No]

"Life is like gambling, Mr. Delhi, you can not gamble, but you can't gamble."

The blonde youth grinned and tossed two [10,000] chips, attracting the attention of Adélie penguins.

Delhi thought about it, and he finally chose to accept it.

How could he be led by the nose by the stinky boy in front of him, from the natural sitting of the entry, to the recharge and exchange of 1.5 million chips to show his financial strength, the blonde young man in front of him has been controlling the situation and has been dominating the invisible "momentum".

Now, Delhi wants to break the "momentum" of the other side.

"Yes, take a gamble."

[The gamble is established! 】

When the game was established, [Financial Beast Spades-10], dressed in a gorgeous red dress, raised his right hand and held a deck of playing cards, and began to hand out his cards, and his clown-like face was already smiling at this time.

The process of Poker is actually not complicated, and in two-player Texas Hold'em, players will use a standard deck of 52 cards (minus the big and small ghosts). The basic rules and flow of the game are similar to those of multiplayer, but there will be some tweaks.

For example, the settings for the blinds (small blind and big blind) may need to be adjusted to ensure that the game is played.

【Dealing Stage!】 】

The Happy 10 of Spades begins with the dealing, and at the beginning of the Poker, each player is dealt two private cards, also known as hand or pocket cards, which are only visible to them.

Two cards appeared in front of Xia Xiu, and he casually opened the cards in his hand.

As luck would have it, I got [a pair] together at the beginning.

Xia Xiu's hand is now a pair of 7s of different suits, which he never expected.

The hand sizes in Texas Hold'em are as follows from strongest to weakest:

Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, High Card.

The outcome of the tournament is determined by hand type: if two players have the same hand, then the highest card in the same hand rank, the next highest card in the same hand, and so on are compared to determine the winner. If all cards are the same, it is a tie.

Xia Xiu used to fish in [Financial Street]··· Well, when entertaining, the biggest card he has ever opened is only a gourd, and as for any straight flush and royal flush, he has never opened it once.

Start betting the blinds. 】

"I'll make the big blind, 100,000." Xia Xiu smiled and pushed out some of the chips.

Blinds: In two-person Texas Hold'em, there are usually small blinds and big blinds. The small blind is paid by one player, while the big blind is paid by the other. These blinds are the starting bets and ensure that there are chips circulating in the game. In the blinds, players are usually not allowed to bet their entire stack (i.e. stud). Stud is the practice of betting all of one's chips over a round, which is not allowed in the blinds.

In Texas Hold'em, blinds are starting bets designed to ensure that there is a certain amount of chips circulating in the game and provide a basis for subsequent bets. Normally, players can only choose to call (with the same chips as their current bet), raise (increase their bet) or fold (give up their current position) during the blinds.

The big blind is the small blind, which is usually half the size of the big blind.

Derry glanced at the cards in his hand that [Spade 10] had given him, and couldn't help but grab the cards for a moment.

He's got a bad hand right now.

7 and 2 of different suits. This is Adélie Penguin's current hand.

And the reason why they still call, of course, is that every gambler has a belief that the opponent's hand may be worse than their own, and these guys like to pretend to be a pretend.

The probability involved in the game of Poker is not listed for the time being.

In the two-person derby, it is more about the psychological game than the calculation of probability, such as the first round of the game when the blinds are placed.

The blinds in the first round of the game involved a common strategy in Poker, [Stealing Chickens].

Stealing a chicken is when you raise or bet to win the blinds as much as possible without having to show your hand.

This usually happens when the blinds are your turn to act and no other player calls, by betting a relatively small amount in an attempt to get the other players to fold their hand and thus win the blinds.

The goal of [Stealing Chickens] is to take advantage of your opponent's caution and weakness by raising or betting to get the pot without revealing your hand. If the [Chicken Steal Succeeds], you will increase your stack and gain some money without real hand power.

However, now it's a two-player derby, so it's impossible to [steal the chicken], because in two-player games, you usually need to rely more on your own hand strength and strategy to fight for victory.

【Bet complete, enter the flop!】 】

Flop: At the end of the first round of betting, the hole round begins.

The dealer turns over three community cards and places them on the table, called the flop or community card, while the remaining two cards are rolled over the next two rounds.

Now, the three [Community Cards] that have been turned over are:

[7 of spades], [Hearts · K], [Block·2].

When the [Community Card] is played, the second round of the contest has already begun.

In today's world, gamblers analyze by looking at the faces of their enemies, the cards in their hands, the chips they bet, and so on, but in the casinos of the Financial Street, it is even more interesting.

When the [community cards] are revealed, both sides at the table are dishonest and initiate a dark side battle at the same time.

Knock Knock Knock –

Xia Xiu's hand on the gambling table was rhythmically tapping on the table, and at the same time, a powerful Mimusu spread under the gaze of [Spades-10], and the huge ARad field instantly distorted reality, and three sharp and abnormal thinking weapons shot towards three different groups.

[Don Quixote Activate!] 】

[Orientation - Thinking Impact!] ]

[Not Directed - Strong Thinking Influence!] ]

[Not Directed - Weak Thinking Influence!] ]

The invisible and qualitative thinking weapon of [Orientation-Thinking Influence] slammed directly into several dishonest spectators behind Xia Xiu, and these guys began to launch [Peeping Eye], [Thinking Reading], [Appearance Withdrawal] and other thaumaturgy to peek at his hand, and he directly and unceremoniously responded with an attack.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Among the few spectators sitting in Xia Xiu's distance, their eyes suddenly became extremely dull, and then they slapped themselves under the surprised gaze of everyone.

This is the [orientation-thinking influence], which triggers a contradictory thought process and leads the thinking subject to transfer this thinking contradiction to the concrete object that exists in his consciousness, so as to temporarily manipulate and command others.

And being hit by another thought weapon, [Undirected - Strong Thinking Influence] was hit by the unlucky dealer, [Spades-10], and when he was seen by the thinking weapon, the perverted smile on his face stopped instantly.

With a snap, the happiness was gone, and he felt a little dizzy in his head at the moment.

If it was the [Financial Beast Spades-10] in the casino capital of the Addison Federation, Xia Xiu really didn't dare to attack the other party so blatantly, but now he was in [Fran Island], so he would directly give him a blow, so that the other party's next card dealing should not be full of bad taste, and honestly be a good card dealing machine.

As for the last thought weapon, [Undirected - Weak Thinking Influence], it is naturally impossible to target Delhi.

The casino has casino rules, thaumaturgy can be used, but it must comply with the rules, some direct attacks are forbidden (it doesn't matter if you attack the financial beast, you can't die anyway), for example, you can't blow your opponent's head with a gun and win directly.

This is the casino, not the Colosseum.

Xia Xiu's [Undirected-Weak Thinking Influence] was actually just a shot at the [Line-of-sight Perspective] Mimu Su launched at the empty Delhi on the gambling table, and then detonated.

These two thaumaturgies can only be regarded as interfering thaumaturgy, and as long as they are not excessive, the regular energy inside the casino will not be stopped.

And the purpose of Xia Xiu's [non-directional-weak thinking influence] is not only to smash Delhi's mimusu, but also has another effect.

The main ability of [non-directional - weak thinking influence] is that the weak mental influence causes the thinking subject to have symptoms including confusion, decreased concentration, confusion, and decreased ability to deal with problems.

At the moment when the thought weapon exploded, the faint spiritual influence had already spread, and the blonde youth was squinting his eyes, watching Delhi's every move and everything he did like a hunter watching his prey.

Derry wasn't too surprised that his mimu was blown up, and his pupils showed a hint of joy at this time, and his eyes unconsciously rested on [7 of spades] and [2 of diamonds].

The joy quickly vanished, and the blonde youth, who had been tapping his index finger on the table, smiled.

The old gamblers are all actors, if they want to get something out of their expressions, they always have to use a little defense-breaking magic skill to tear their acting skills, and the diffusion of thinking weapons can just make Xia Xiu get the information he wants from the moment the other party breaks the defense.

Knock Knock Knock –

Xia Xiu's index finger tapped rhythmically on the table.

[7 of spades] and [2 of diamonds], the opponent makes no secret of his gaze at these two cards.

The remaining two 7's are in my hand, which means that the opponent now has a [Club 7] and another 2 of a random suit.

The opponent is now able to make a [two-pair] (two pairs of cards of the same rank, plus any card), and I am a [three-of-a-kind], and if there are no surprises on the [turn] and [river] in the future, he will most likely not have any work. However, he should try to [bluff] me to win.

The thoughts in Xia Xiu's mind turned rapidly, and at this time, the second round of betting began.

【Second Round of Betting: Begins!】 】

"Boy, looking at your grin, it looks like the cards should be pretty good." Derry flicked the cards in his hand and tapped at Xia Xiu's side.

"Okay, I think this hand can continue to raise, will you follow?"

Xia Xiu smiled, then took out 200,000 chips and pushed them out.

Derry stared at the handsome face of the blonde youth, and for a moment he couldn't figure out if the other party was [bluffing] him, or if he really had a good card.

"Follow!"

Derry also rolled out chips to keep up with Xia Xiu's pace.

[Turn Begins!] 】

Turn: At the end of the second round of betting, the dealer turns over a fourth [community card], called [Turn] or [Fourth Street].

[Block · K]

Deri looked at the card expressionlessly, his eyes were constantly observing the blonde youth opposite, and the smile on the other party's face did not change in the slightest, and the index finger that was tapping the table was still as rhythmic and steady as before.

[Three-of-a-kind] + [pair], one big and one small, it's really a [gourd]. Xia Xiu said happily in his heart.

It's a great time today.

【Third Round of Betting: Begins!】 】

After the [turn] comes the third round of betting.

"Mr. Derry, do you want us to play big?" Xia Xiu said with a smile at Delhi.

"What?" Delhi asked the blonde young man suspiciously.

Bang Dong –

The blonde youth pushed out all his chips, then spread out his hands and smiled brightly at the Adélie penguins clenching their cards.

"I'm stud, Mr. Delhi, will you follow?"
