Chapter 81: A Game That Penetrates the Hearts of the People
Because Xiao Zhen had explained that he needed to be cautious in the past two days, and Zhuang Lianhong also warned Bai Shuo and his party that it was best to stay in the hotel and not show their faces everywhere, so the next day everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and chose to hide in the room to make up for sleep, and only went to the restaurant in the hotel arranged by Zhuang Lianhong for lunch one after another near noon.
Everyone greeted each other, telling them how uncomfortable they were after drinking too much last night, and at this time, everyone and Zhuang Lianhong no longer seemed strange, because last night's drinking party seemed to be an old friend. On the other hand, Zhuang Lianhong is old and strong, although he drank so much last night that people were helped to go back, but today he seems to be fine, giving people a feeling of vitality, maybe it is because people are in good spirits at happy events, and the resentment of many years has been eliminated, and it also makes him look a little younger.
"Do you want to drink more?" Zhuang Lianhong said to Bai Shuo and the others with a smile while holding a bottle of foreign wine. Bai Shuo hurriedly shook his hand: "Uncle Zhuang, don't drink at noon, otherwise you will have to go back to the room to sleep in the afternoon." ”
Zhuang Lianhong laughed: "Brother, there is no difference between day and night when you enter our place, just to let people play in the dark, drink when they want, and sleep when they want." ”
Bai Shuo then remembered that even the sky in the casino was simulated, and the people in it couldn't tell the difference between day and night after staying for a long time, until they forgot time and forgot everything, and only money and wine were in their eyes.
Seeing that Bai Shuo didn't drink, Zhuang Lianhong didn't drink either, and directly threw the wine to Niu Er and a few others. After lunch, Zhuang Lianhong asked Bai Shuo and the others if they had thought about how to arrange it in the afternoon. Because he couldn't go out, Cao An shouted that he was bored, and asked Bai Shuo to gather a table to fight the landlord, Ah Wei listened to the music, and said: "Fatty, you are in the casino and you are worried that no one will accompany you to fight the landlord, downstairs there is anything to play." ”
Zhuang Lianhong said with a smile: "If you brothers are interested, why don't I play with you for a while." ”
Cao An was overjoyed and said: "Oh, being able to fight with the gambling king is really a thing that can be blown for a lifetime." ”
Seeing that everyone did not object, Bai Shuo did not refuse, after all, if you come to the casino, you can't say anything if you don't bet two, and it is also a beautiful thing to have the opportunity to ask the gambling king for advice.
After the meal, others began to arrange their own entertainment, after all, in addition to gambling, other entertainment facilities in the hotel are also very rich. Bai Shuo, Cao An, Zhuzi, Nie Dong, and Dawei followed Zhuang Lianhong and Scar to an exclusive VIP hall, which had all kinds of furnishing tools, service staff and a wine bar next to them. There is no main light on the top, it is all dense ceiling lights, and the soft light illuminates the room brightly but does not reflect the shadow of any object, just like a shadowless lamp.
"There are 7 of us, why don't we play Texas Hold'em, all of them can participate. Zhuang Lianhong said as he led everyone to a table in the middle of the hall. Bai Shuo saw that in addition to the dealer's position, this big table can accommodate up to 10 people to sit, which means that up to 10 people can play together at the same time. Zhuang Lianhong introduced the rules to everyone, and everyone was able to get started soon.
"Bang!" Zhuang Lianhong slapped his hands twice, and the two beauties each pushed a trolley to the table, and presented each of them with 1 million chips and drinks and tea.
Scar said enthusiastically: "This is a little bit of Boss Zhuang's heart, everyone has fun." ”
Bai Shuo immediately excused himself: "It's all up to Uncle Zhuang to take care of you these days, it's too late for us to be grateful, how can we ask for these chips again." ”
Zhuang Lianhong thought for a while, smiled and said, "Brother Bai, let's do it, these chips will not be given to you in vain." This afternoon, you will limit your chips to the amount you win, and you will take as much as you win. If you run out of chips, you're automatically out, and the player gets a whole bottle of whiskey at night, how about that?"
Bai Shuo figured out the meaning of this, that is, if you win, it is money, and if you lose, you will be punished for drinking, and it seems that Bai Shuo and others are more cost-effective. Just wanted to excuse himself, Zhuang Lianhong said again: "Don't worry about my money, let's take care of your liver first." ”
Cao An also understood what Zhuang Lianhong meant, and then said: "Uncle Zhuang, according to your meaning, even if I win, I will accompany you to drink a bottle at night." ”
Zhuang Lianhong laughed: "I like to hear this, so let's start." ”
The gambling game officially began, and in the first two handfuls, everyone was not used to it, and they were more cautious, and Zhuang Lianhong won two games slightly. Slowly everyone seems to have entered the state, and the cards in their hands are getting better and better, but the cards in Zhuang Lianhong's hand do not seem to be very smooth, and he lost several handfuls in a row, but although he lost a lot, he didn't see Zhuang Lianhong care, and he still showed a winning look. Cao An has won a lot in these games, and said to Zhuang Lianhong happily: "Uncle Zhuang, it seems that you have to save a lot of good wine if you go on like this." ”
Zhuang Lianhong also responded happily: "Until the end, my good wine may not be unsold." ”
Then Zhuang Lianhong was no longer silent, but opened the conversation box and said to everyone: "Xiao Cao, you Shudu people love to play mahjong, and it is said that you have summed up a lot of life experience from mahjong. But there's a lot of knowledge in this Texas Hold'em. Some people say that gambling is three points of skill and seven points of luck, but I think that this Texas Hold'em seven points rely on skill and three points rely on luck. ”
Everyone was attracted by Zhuang Lianhong's words, and listened to the experience while playing cards. Zhuang Lianhong continued: "This Texas Hold'em you know and master the rules can not be regarded as learning Texas Hold'em, if you want to participate in the actual battle, you also need to know how to analyze the cards, the calculation of the winning rate, learn these is just the beginning." ”
Nie Dong asked suspiciously: "This is the entry, so how many levels are there below?"
Zhuang Lianhong smiled and continued: "If you want to become a qualified player, you also need to know how to control your emotions. Specifically, it is necessary to control their greed, pride, loss, frustration and many other emotions, greed, pride makes people forgetful, lost, frustrated makes people lose normal judgment, are taboo to play cards, want to win, first of all, you have to keep yourself not losing, and keep yourself not losing, the most important thing is to control your emotions, maintain the best judgment, the best risk control to do the best. It's not that the biggest enemy is yourself, only if you defeat yourself can you be considered a qualified Texas Hold'em player. ”
Of course, this is not enough, if you want to become a master, you also need to know how to grasp human nature, exchange interests and games. After all, you don't play by yourself and yourself, you have to be aware of the many opponents you face while controlling yourself......"
"Is there any rank above the master?" After Zhuang Lianhong finished speaking, Bai Shuo asked curiously.
Zhuang Lianhong smiled and said after a long time: "I haven't understood this level, but I temporarily think that the highest level of Texas Hold'em should be the 'way of trade-off', and no one can win all the time, unless you are out of the way." This play is like life, when not with me to know how to forbear, preserve strength, less loss for win. When the time comes, you must be good at taking advantage of the situation and get the biggest victory. In fact, life is short, and often in the end, looking back on a lifetime, busy for decades, what really determines the gains and losses of a life is the grasp and choice of those few key opportunities. And playing cards is also, after a game, carefully review the win and loss is often between one or two, such as this one......" At this time, everyone came back to their senses and found that everyone seemed to be very confident in this hand, and at this time there were a lot of chips on the table unconsciously piled up.
"Damn, this is such an exciting ......" Cao An called out in surprise as he looked at the chips on the table. Bai Shuo glanced at everyone slightly, facing the chips on the table, some showed excitement, some showed worry, some hesitated, and some were dumbfounded, only Zhuang Lianhong still looked light.
Cao An looked at the cards in his hand again, inadvertently pursed his lips, and took out his chips again to continue to follow; Dawei chose to give up with a sad face; Nie Dong shook his head after hesitating again and again and chose to give up; Zhuzi looked at Zhuang Lianhong and chose to continue to follow. After Scar also followed up, Bai Shuo looked at the cards and chose to give up.
At this time, Zhuang Lianhong raised the chips again lightly, Cao An hesitated and followed again, the pillar looked at Zhuang Lianhong, and then looked at Cao An, and reluctantly chose to give up. After the pillar gave up, Scar also threw cards, and in the end, only Zhuang Lianhong and Cao An were left on the table.
Just as Cao An was ready to continue to raise, Zhuang Lianhong stopped Cao An and began to analyze the game for everyone: he thought that the pillar that had folded this round of cards should be the largest, the reason why he lost the cards was cautious by nature, and there were not many chips in his hands, and saw that Zhuang Lianhong, who threw away a few handfuls in a row, followed up all the way to lead him with a deep sense of fear, plus everyone seemed to have a better card in this game, so that he lost his last self-confidence; Cao An's cards should be ranked fourth, which is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, but Cao An is bold and greedy enough, and even if he already knows that he has a small chance of winning, he insists on seeing a result, of course, because he has won a lot before, and he has confidence in his heart. As for Zhuang Lianhong's own cards, he thinks they should be on par with Bai Shuo's, but they are definitely bigger than Cao An's, so when he forced the pillar to fold, he was already at the point of winning this game.
After Zhuang Lianhong's analysis, everyone turned over their hole cards and looked at other people's cards, the result was actually the same as the analysis, Bai Shuo's cards were even slightly larger than Zhuang Lianhai's cards. This game allowed Zhuang Lianhai to completely reverse the decline and turn defeat into victory, and at the same time, it also produced a deep shock in the hearts of many people, some of which came from admiration for Zhuang Lianhong, and some came from a certain touch in their hearts.
The next situation seems to have produced some subtle changes, I don't know whether it is out of deep fear of Zhuang Lianhong, or some people because of the previous win or loss mentality has changed, Zhuang Lianhong's cards are getting smoother and smoother, and soon everyone will be defeated. Especially Cao An originally won nearly one million, but after several consecutive defeats, he became a big loser, Bai Shuo saw Cao An's restlessness and wanted to remind him to stabilize his emotions, but after thinking about it, it was not a good thing to use this gamble to let him get some inspiration. In the end, Cao An successfully became the first person to go out after a desperate gamble, looking at the empty table in front of him, Cao An collapsed on the chair and closed his eyes depressedly.
After Cao An was out, the remaining few people at the table seemed to have a sense of sadness, and unconsciously formed a united front with a tacit understanding to jointly fight against Zhuang Lianhong. But how can all this be hidden from Zhuang Lianhong, he said directly: "It seems that you have a much higher understanding than I imagined, very good." This sentence actually made everyone's silent tacit understanding clear, which made everyone's hearts more or less abnormal.
After another hour of fierce fighting, the game was finally over. Zhuang Lianhong has undoubtedly become the big winner, Scar still has half of the chips left, Bai Shuo not only did not lose but also won tens of thousands, of course, there is also the credit of the joint anti-enemy interests of everyone later, as for the others, they lost all the chips and all went out.
Zhuang Lianhong patted Bai Shuo's shoulder: "Brother Bai is really an eye-opener for me, I didn't expect you to have such ability for the first time you played." ”
"How can we hide from Uncle Zhuang with these little tricks, if you really talk about it, I can actually be regarded as losing. Bai Shuo said ashamedly.
Zhuang Lianhong laughed: "Brother Bai is very talented and open-minded, if he can devote himself to the gambling industry, he will definitely make a difference in the future." ”
At dinnertime, after everyone sat down, careful people found that Cao An, Zhuzi, Nie Dong, and Dawei each placed a bottle of whiskey in front of them, and half a bottle in front of Scar. At this time, Zhuang Lianhong spoke first: "Brothers, are there any difficulties? If there are difficulties that are raised now, it is okay if there are people here who are willing to share one or two for you. ”
Just when the rest of the people hadn't figured out the situation, Cao An stood up and picked up the wine bottle and said to Zhuang Lianhong: "I understand Uncle Zhuang's kindness, and I am willing to gamble and lose, no one should rob me of this bottle of wine." With that, he raised his head and blew on the bottle. Driven by Cao An, several other people also picked up the wine bottles, "Yes, I am willing to lose the bet, brothers, let's do it." Immediately afterwards, several people at the table raised their wine bottles and sent them to their mouths, leaving Chen Bing, Duan Lei, Zhao Yong and others stunned. Bai Shuo took advantage of the gap to explain the situation to them, and everyone understood.
Scar only has half a bottle, and he drank it as soon as possible, but he held the bottle and shook it to show that there was no left; Cao An was not bad, he followed Scar to drink a whole bottle, and then slumped on the chair as soon as he threw the bottle; Nie Dong was a little slower, and he took a few breaks in the middle before slowly drinking it; the pillar drank for a while, he really couldn't hold his breath, found a big goblet, poured all the rest of the wine into it, and then held the cup and drank it for a while before pouring it all in; Dawei had the worst amount of wine, and changed a goblet to the shape of the pillar, but it was still difficult to swallow, and after the pillar was drunk, there was still half a bottle left in the Dawei cup。 Niu Er stared dryly on the side, and shouted at Dawei eagerly: "Teacher Dawei, seeing you drinking like this, my old Niu is more anxious than you." It caused everyone to burst into laughter.
