Chapter 84 Poker That This World Does Not Have
Chen Mo rummaged through the Internet, and suddenly, he slapped his forehead.
"Yes, there seems to be no Texas Hold'em!"
"But how could there be no Texas Hold'em? It's not scientific!"
Chen Mo has been wondering just now, which game is missing, and as a result, he looked around, there is no Texas Hold'em in this world? Isn't this bullshit?
Chen Mo continued to search, and even searched for many foreign websites, and finally found that there was none! There is really no Texas Hold'em in this world!
"Sure enough, I always felt as if something was missing. There really is no Texas Hold'em!"
"Okay, the last piece of the puzzle of Thunder Chess and Cards has finally been found."
Chen Mo was also a little excited. Finally, the framework of the entire chess and card game was complete.
...
Texas hold 'em is not a popular game in China. If you only count the number of users, it is not as popular as Douzhuzhu and Mahjong, and its popularity is also much worse.
However, Texas Hold'em is extremely popular in some small circles, and the water is unbelievably deep.
The founders and CEOs of some large companies in the IT circle, entrepreneurial circle, and investment circle are very keen on Texas Hold'em, such as Kai-Fu Lee, Liu Chuanzhi, Jack Ma, etc., are all enthusiasts of Texas Hold'em.
In the world, Texas Hold'em can be said to be popular all over the world, especially in the United States, if someone says he plays poker, then he is probably playing Texas Hold'em.
In the World Series of Poker (WSOP), Texas Hold'em's game bonus, the jackpot even reached 10 million US dollars, once a chef from Sweden won the championship and became rich overnight.
Many people may be very puzzled, why is Texas Hold'em so attractive?
If you can sum up the difference between Texas Hold'em and other pokers in one sentence, it is: Texas Hold'em is a poker game that can be steadily profitable.
Yes, it sounds fantastical, but it's the truth.
Other chess and card games, such as Dou Dizhu, Mahjong, and Golden Flower, all have a strong gambling nature. Skill is important, but luck is more important. If you are fighting landlords or mahjong, the profit and loss depends largely on luck, which is tantamount to gambling.
The characteristic of gambling is that if you gamble for a long time, you will lose, and no one can guarantee that this thing will remain stable and profitable.
But Texas Hold'em is a game that can maintain a stable profit. If you keep losing at Texas Hold'em, it can only prove one thing: you are too bad.
In foreign countries, there are many professional Texas Hold'em players, such as Phil Ivey, who have won 24 championships in various events, made more than 100 cashes, and won a total of more than 20 million US dollars in total prize money throughout his career.
In China, there are also many professional Texas Hold'em players whose monthly income is stable at around 100,000. For various reasons, the promotion of Texas Hold'em in China is limited, but even so, there are as many as 60 million domestic Texas Hold'em players.
Why is poker a stable and profitable game? Because the rules of poker are more complicated than most poker games, you can choose to quit at any time, or you can make a crazy raise to double your stack.
Moreover, when playing poker, you can judge the opponent's hand based on the opponent's behavior (raise, flat call, etc.), and play with different strategies.
Unlike poker, poker relies entirely on hand cards. You will win if you get a super card, but the final win or loss of poker depends on five community cards. In theory, even if your hand is The smallest unsuited 27 is also possible to win the highest hand pair of Aces.
To play poker, you need to be proficient in probability calculation, be good at hiding your expressions, know how to guess their hands through the behavior of the opponent, and maintain a good attitude. The proportion of luck in winning and losing can be said to be minimized.
Playing like a master and a rookie, maybe every hand of the rookie is better than that of the master, but the master can beat the rookie to a collapse by playing psychology,
This is no exaggeration at all.
In games like Dou Dizhu and Mahjong, a rookie may be able to win a big hand or two by luck, but in Texas Hold'em, a rookie will never have such a chance.
...
After the big framework was determined, Chen Mo started to write design documents.
The rules of chess and card games are relatively clear and simple, and it is much faster to do than "My Name is MT". This time, Chen Mo intends to generally complete "Thunder Game Platform" and "Thunder Chess and Cards" within a month, and then adjust it in a week. , and then go online directly.
The next morning.
Chen Mo sent a design outline to Su Jinyu.
"The outline has been written. You can add the specific rules. You don't need to move anything related to the plot. Wait for Zheng Hongxi to come and let him be in charge. The two of you play this game together, which is equivalent to testing his plot design ability." Chen Mo said.
Su Jinyu received the document sent by Chen Mo. What surprised her was that the design document was very small, with only one or two hundred words.
"Lifeline? Text adventure games?" Su Jinyu asked in surprise.
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's mainly for you and Zheng Hongxi to practice their skills. I have marked a few points that need to be paid attention to in the document. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com How much can this game do? , it's up to you two."
Su Jinyu said, "But, store manager, doesn't this game seem too simple?"
Chen Mo smiled: "Simple games can be done very well, don't look at the masters. You can think about adding a few more ways to play under this framework."
Su Jinyu nodded: "Well, good. I see."
After handing "Lifeline" to Su Jinyu to design, Chen Mo put all his thoughts on the Thunder Game Platform and Thunder Chess.
"Lifeline" is a text adventure game. Chen Mo also wanted to use this game for Zheng Hongxi to practice his skills and test his plot design ability.
After "Thunder Chess and Cards" and "Lifeline" are finished, Chen Mo will start planning the first large-scale game.
...
For the next two days, Chen Mo mainly refined the design documents.
The three products on Thunder Chess and Cards, Happy Landlord, Happy Mahjong, Thunder Poker (that is, Texas Hold'em in the previous life), the user groups of these three do not completely overlap, so it is necessary to make three different games, but this Many art resources for the three games are common, such as character appearances, prop icons, playing cards, and more.
For these resources, Chen Mo threw them directly to the outsourcing company. Because there are also chess and card games in the parallel world, these resources are all over the place, and you can use them if you want to change them, and you don’t need to be too harsh on the quality of art, so Chen Mo’s only requirement is to be fast, and it must be within two weeks. All the art resources are finished.
The main work of Chen Mo in the design of chess and card games is focused on two aspects, one is to refine the relevant rules of the novice guide, and the other is to create a set of rules for the playing field that other chess and card games do not have.
