Chapter 105: Penglai Mountain (9)
(From 12 o'clock last night to 12 o'clock at noon today, Qingshan made up for the update owed yesterday, and there will be an update in the evening, asking for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket)
In fact, it is very rude to urge others at the poker table, but Cheng Mo didn't mind, he had already seen that at this time, except for him who had just been on the table, this fat man had the least chips. In other words, so far, this fat man has lost the most.
In the world of Texas Hold'em, strength is definitely more important than luck, and only when the strength is equal, will you fight for luck. Therefore, Cheng Mo can simply rank out who is stronger according to the number of chips on the table at the moment.....
At this time, the one with the most chips was the only one who didn't have a female companion, and then the bald big brother opposite Cheng Mo, followed by Cheng Mo's Tianzhu Ah San and the bald big brother's sunglasses Xiao Young.
But who is the strongest in real strength and whose card style is still needed to be further observed by Cheng Mo. The reason why Cheng Mo let Cheng Xiao play was to take a good look at how these people played cards without revealing his true level.
In addition, there is another important reason that Cheng Mo has not fought Texas in reality. One is that he has no money, and the other is that he has no interest in gambling. He played Texas purely as a form of exercise, because Texas can greatly tap people's potential.
Before today, Cheng Mo had only played Tiantian Texas on WeChat, and the world's highest ranking had reached the top ten, but the ranking of Tiantian Texas was very watery, unlike SOP This level of offline competition, and it can't really reflect the strength, but Cheng Mo has not rushed a penny to hit the top ten in the world ranking of Texas every day, and he is definitely at a real level.
However, in September this year, Texas was removed from the shelves every day, and Cheng Mo never touched Texas Hold'em again, in fact, the last time Cheng Mo played Texas Hold'em was last year. I haven't played for a long time, it's not a big problem for Cheng Mo, the big problem is that Cheng Mo has never played every day in reality.
"Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles", this saying is applicable in any situation, and it is even more important in Texas Hold'em. Playing every day on the Internet, Texas can judge the strength of the opponent through the opponent's information, such as the amount of cash accumulated by the player, the total number of games completed by the player, the entry rate, the showdown rate, the winning rate....
These are all information that Cheng Mo must look at before starting the game, but in reality, Cheng Mo does not have the ability to see the strength of the other party, and he must slowly observe by himself to collect these data that can be easily seen in online battles.
He called Cheng Xiao to gamble, just to better collect these vital data, and also to facilitate him to observe the psychological details leaked by these people's movements and expressions.
Cheng Xiao lost 100,000 US dollars without doing anything for the first time, which made her quite uneasy, and turned her head to Cheng Mo and said, "I still don't play anymore, you can play by yourself!"
Cheng Mo patiently and gently comforted: "It's okay, go on!"
Cheng Xiao shook his head, "I actually don't like gambling. ”
Cheng Mo pretended to chuckle, tilted his head and whispered in Cheng Xiao's ear: "I know, but Cheng Xiao, the music market is not good now, right? If you want to make money, you still have to be an actor..... Do you know what profession is the most deceptive profession in the world?"
Cheng Xiao didn't expect Cheng Mo to suddenly talk about this, but her train of thought was immediately guided away by Cheng Mo, and she hesitated and replied: "Actors? Because actors need to use their acting skills to deceive the audience?"
Cheng Mo looked at the situation at the poker table and continued to whisper: "No, it's the players at the table. ”
"Huh?" This answer was very unexpected by Cheng Xiao, and there was a hint of absurdity in her tone.
Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "It's impossible for anyone to walk into the airport, jump into the cockpit of a jumbo jet, and take off along the runway without any training..... But it's ridiculous for everyone to expect to win money in a casino with their luck without any training, and for ordinary people, they never know that their emotions and natural brain functions are working against them from the moment he goes to the table. Just as not experiencing life is the enemy of an actor, emotions are the enemy of gambling...... Everyone who knows how to gamble will restrain their emotions at the poker table, while the strong can control their emotions, showing hesitation when there is a good hand, and showing firmness when bluffing, just to deceive the opponent, this kind of acting is not something that can be done with tears in seconds on TV, it is a very complex psychological game.....
Cheng Xiao turned his head to look at Cheng Mo's side face, "You mean that I can be a good actor if I practice gambling well?"
Cheng Mo nodded, "Isn't it just the right way to control your emotions? Texas Hold'em is a training path for you." ”
Cheng Xiao looked at the stacks of chips in the middle of the table, and touched the towering Huns, "This ..... It's better to take your time! Acting skills are not something that can be practiced overnight. ”
Cheng Mo smiled, "In addition to telling you that learning Texas Hold'em is good for acting, I also want to advise you not to lose this opportunity to experience life, if you miss it, you may never experience it again, I think after experiencing the gambling game that makes you feel scared and nervous, you can learn how to deal with nervousness and fear before going on stage, and it will help you adjust your mentality immediately after making a mistake." ”
Cheng Xiao was shaken by what Cheng Mo said, she is not the kind of character that the more people there are, the more excited she is, in fact, every time she goes on stage, the pressure she bears is very huge, and she is always worried that she will make mistakes, even if Cheng Xiao is very confident in her professional level, but she is the face of the team, and the mood of wanting to perform perfectly every time has brought her a heavy burden, so every time she goes on stage, she will have a feeling of wanting to retreat.
Just like at this moment, when faced with a staggering amount of hands, she immediately forgot that she had just said that she was just betting on luck, and wanted to choose to give up.
Cheng Mo knew that he had peeked through Cheng Xiao's weakness, and when he saw that Cheng Xiao didn't speak, he didn't continue to persuade, but waited for the bald head on the opposite side to win the game, and when the dealer dealt the cards to him, he said in Cheng Xiao's ear as a matter of course: "Look at the cards!"
Cheng Xiao subconsciously listened to Cheng Mo's words, and reached out to open half of the card, which was a grass flower 7 and a grass flower 10. In the last game, Cheng Mo joined and lost the big blind, so in this game Cheng Mo is the dealer, the bald head and the young man's big and small blinds have been placed, and 300,000 US dollars of chips have been lost on the table, the fat man raised, and the dime immortal folded, and when Cheng Mo's Shangjia Tianzhu man bet, there were already 750,000 US dollars on the table, and it was Cheng Xiao's turn to decide whether to follow or not.
Cheng Xiao once again felt the feeling of sweating in his palms before going on stage, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo gave her an encouraging look and said: "What you need to do now is to defeat yourself, instead of thinking about winning or losing....."
Cheng Xiao looked at the cards again and asked in a low voice: "I don't follow now, do I need to lose my chips?"
"No, I don't. Cheng Mo said.
"That'...... It's better not to follow!" Cheng Xiao covered the card.
Cheng Mo didn't make any comments and said to the dealer: "Fold." (not with)"
Fourth, fifth, and sixth Cheng Xiao also discarded the cards without pressure, and when it was Cheng Mo's turn to lose the big blind again, Cheng Xiao's luck exploded, and he got a pair of A, at this time Cheng Xiao had basically entered the door, knowing that a pair of A was a big card, and decided to call, but such an obvious action, naturally was seen by a group of masters, and they folded their cards, only the fat man did not know whether to live or die with a hand, and after the dealer turned over the public card, he also lost the card, and Cheng Mo instantly received 400,000 US dollars in chips.
When the dealer pushed the chips in front of Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo said to Cheng Xiao: "Look, winning money is just a simple thing, right?"
Cheng Xiao was also very happy and nodded excitedly. However, luck is not on Cheng Xiao's side, plus the opponent except for the fat man is a fish player, the other people actually play well, even if Cheng Xiao also learned to call, but still can't stop the rapid reduction of chips, and when Cheng Mo only has two million chips left in his hand, Cheng Xiao, who is pale, refuses to continue, this time Cheng Mo did not persuade and called Shen Mengjie to play.
Shen Mengjie did not shirk, watched more than 20 laps, and listened to Cheng Mo's explanation, he was already a little eager to try, and the first hand he got was good, the K of hearts and the Q of hearts, quietly followed a round, and the public cards came out of the club K, the nine of hearts and the eight of hearts, and the cards were quite good.
Shen Mengjie wanted to raise a little, but thinking of the tragedy of her final exam last semester, she was still cowardly, this round was just a call, and she missed the opportunity to make a fortune, and when the turn card was dealt with a spade King, Shen Mengjie, who could still pretend to be nothing in front of her expression, still couldn't hide the light in her eyes, and everyone folded.
As soon as Shen Mengjie came up, she called back more than one million US dollars, Cheng Xiao couldn't help cheering, and grabbed Shen Mengjie's arm through Cheng Mo and said, "Mengjie, you are so powerful....."
The fat man like Roshan was happy to see that Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie had won more than one million, and mocked Cheng Mo and them in Spanish, and then the three of them looked at Cheng Mo and they let out a blatant laugh.
Shen Mengjie immediately realized this, the smile on her face stiffened suddenly, and she lowered her head slightly, avoiding the unscrupulous glances of the fat man and the two foreign girls.
Cheng Mo didn't know much Spanish, and he knew that this fat man didn't say anything good, after thinking about it for a while, Cheng Mo felt that he had to start with the fat man with the worst strength, the most impulsive, and the most talkative, so he glanced at the fat man and said to Shen Mengjie in English: "You don't need to care what the fat pig says, you see that he has been losing money and has not won, so you know that he is just a fool.....
Cheng Mo deliberately said that his voice was very loud, and his attitude was also very contemptuous, which immediately aroused the anger of the fat man, and he also scolded in English: "Shut up, cousin Huaxiaren, do you know who you are talking to? I am the fourth heir to the Spanish throne!"
Cheng Mo said lightly: "Fortunately, you are only the fourth heir, otherwise the king of Spain is a stupid and ugly person like you, and the image of the royal family will be lost." ”
The fat man slapped the table and stood up violently, as if he was about to jump over and fight with Cheng Mo.
The dealer dressed as a bunny girl immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Floran, please don't make any inappropriate moves, let us expel you from Penglai Wonderland....."
The fat man shook his fat meat, looked at Cheng Mo with angry eyes, and sat down again with a scolding grin, and at the same time, the swear words in his mouth continued, and the words "you yellow-skinned monkey", "idiot", and "idiot" kept pouring out, but the English swearing words were really lethal and monotonous, and they had no effect on Cheng Mo.
But Shen Mengjie's mentality is not as good as Cheng Mo, every time the fat man is turned to bet on Cheng Mo, he will shout insults, and constantly urge Shen Mengjie to make decisions, this kind of interference makes Shen Mengjie quite uncomfortable, but Shen Mengjie's brain is very flexible, and her hand style is very smooth, and she met the flush of the man with sunglasses with a pair of four, and won more than three million at once.....
However, slowly Shen Mengjie lost back the more than 3 million she had won, and at this time, together with the 1 million promised to Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao, there was only 1.4 million US dollars left in front of Cheng Mo.
This is also a good result for Cheng Mo, he doesn't expect Cheng Xiao and Shen Mengjie to win, as long as they can buy him enough time.
At this time, Shen Mengjie had a diamond K in his hand, a diamond J, the public cards were the K of hearts, the ten of diamonds and the K of spades, the turn card was the diamond Q, the bald man and the young man in sunglasses all folded the cards, and the fat man lost 1.4 million chips, and smiled at Cheng Mo "Haha": "Idiot, get out of the house after losing, it's really embarrassing to mix with that money..... Penglai Mountain is really getting worse and worse, and any poor ghost can get in..."
Tianzhu Nan also chose to fold, and now it is Shen Mengjie's turn, Shen Mengjie has three Ks in his hand, very big cards, he hesitated, looked at the chips in the box, turned his head and asked Cheng Mo, "Should this be followed?"
Cheng Mo has roughly figured out the playing style of several people at this time, and the bald brother sitting opposite him likes to play structural cards very much, as long as there is a hand of hearts KQ can not be folded. The young man with sunglasses plays very fiercely and likes to use words to test each other before making a decision. And the Ritai people who wear a corner of the fairy mask have a very steady playing style, like to play chips non-stop, move very slowly, and never speak.
As for the Indians who started with Cheng Mo, they like to announce the bet amount loudly when they take a big hand, so as to put pressure on others, and when the hand is good, they will habitually lure others to call, and after deciding to chase, they will see the opponent's card at all costs.....
The fat man's gambling is very heavy, as long as the hole cards are slightly better, he will want to play the public cards, turn cards and river cards behind him, and he is not as easily irritated as he shows, in addition to the constant swear words, he not only did not deliberately do things against Cheng Mo, but also stimulated Shen Mengjie, making her lose her judgment, hoping to let her bet, fortunately Shen Mengjie was not fooled, but was also angry enough.
Shen Mengjie can also see that the fat man likes to bluff, betting on the style of making big cards behind, there are three kings in her hand, and the opportunity to make four or a straight flush on the river card behind is not impossible, so she wants to gamble in her heart and make this nasty fat man deflated.
Although Cheng Mo knew that Shen Mengjie's chances of winning were very slim, the fat man was a sure three tens or three J's this time, plus a pair of Ks to form a prisoner, and everyone else had already seen it, but Shen Mengjie did not have such reading ability. Cheng Mo didn't mean to stop Shen Mengjie, but said indifferently: "You make a decision about this!
Shen Mengjie hesitated again and again, but still chose All-in (all-in), so that it entered the stage of direct flop, if Shen Mengjie wins, this time she can win all the 4.7 million in the prize pool, then she has a very reasonable reason to accept the dividend.....
But it's a pity that luck is not on Shen Mengjie's side this time, the river card is a spade nine, although it is a straight, but it is not a straight flush, Shen Mengjie's wish to make a four or a straight flush has not been achieved.
At this time, if Shen Mengjie wants to win, she must hope that the cards in the opponent's hand are not captives, but the fat man turned over the hole cards and suddenly it was a pair of tens, three tens plus a pair of kings, which was greater than Shen Mengjie's straight or three.
Shen Mengjie's face turned pale all of a sudden, and the fear of being dominated by Liu Dongqiang hit her heart again, and the huge sense of chagrin made her body tremble slightly.
Cheng Mo patted Shen Mengjie's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Gambling is a very dangerous game, and you can't hope for luck at any time. Don't think of life as a gamble, because you may only lose money at the table, and every time you lose something in life, you may not be able to afford it. ”
Shen Mengjie's mind was in a mess, thinking that Cheng Xiao had also lost two million US dollars, and she was not alone in losing the five million US dollars, and her heart was much better.
The fat man didn't understand what Cheng Mo was saying to Shen Mengjie, which didn't prevent him from laughing extraordinarily harshly, the fat man licked his lips, pointed at Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao and said to Cheng Mo: "You two girls are good, sell them to me, I'll give you 10 million dollars, so you can play a few more games....."
Of course, the fat man who claims to be the Spanish royal family doesn't want to buy Shen Mengjie and Cheng Xiao for 10 million US dollars, no one who can come to Penglai Wonderland will be short of tens of millions of US dollars, the reason why he deliberately said this is to humiliate Cheng Mo, and he just wants Cheng Mo to continue playing, and after losing most of the night, he finally found a weak fish, and the fat man naturally didn't want Cheng Mo to run away after losing 5 million US dollars.
Cheng Mo turned his head and sneered, "Ten million?"
Then Cheng Mo pretended to be very arrogant and looked at the fat man, took out the last blue 100,000 chips that were ready to be used as lucky chips from his jacket pocket, threw it in front of the fat man and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the fourth king, I will pay 100,000 US dollars to buy the two women next to you, so that you won't even be able to afford a return ticket if you lose..."
