Chapter 960 Texas Game
"Mr. Zhukovsky placed the small blind bet 5,000, and Miss Alicia placed the big blind bet 10,000."
On the fourth floor of the Anthem, there is a private casino with a no-limit Texas Hold'em table.
Countless well-dressed gentlemen and ladies gathered around the huge green card table five meters away, looking at each other in silence, with pairs of eyes silently looking at the six players sitting on the green table. The last 6 players in this "Chip Swirl" game.
From the perspective of an old British gentleman dealer, the six players are:
Mr. Zhukovsky, the Russian natural gas tycoon in the SB small blind position, is a typical Russian rich man. He is 45 years old and on the rise in his career. He has a slightly red nose, slightly sunken eye sockets, a short and wide head, and a wide face. He has all the characteristics that a European race should have, his physique is also extremely strong, and he is tightly wrapped in a suit. He is sitting in front of the gambling table with most of his body weight leaning on the edge of the table with his hands, and his blue eyes scan the remaining areas. Punters feel like hungry brown bears hunting before winter.
By the way, Mr. Zhukovsky is the person with the second largest accumulation of chips in the four-story gambling hall. In front of him are stacks of chips worth 30 million euros. The brown bear standing behind the chips looks like Guarding the stored food for hibernation is as calm as ever.
Miss Alicia, the daughter of the Wharton family in the BB big blind position, is a young white girl with light blond hair. The dress she attended tonight is also an elegant butterfly dress, with a white skirt base, eye-catching sequined flowers and emperors. The hand-made butterfly inlaid on the skirt is eye-catching.
But beautiful dresses and a prominent family cannot bring good luck to Miss Alicia, so her chips are at the bottom of the gambling table, with only eleven million euros in chips - but this does not affect Miss Alicia is optimistic, because the chips she put into the gambling pool tonight are only the basic stake of two million euros, which means that now she has won about nine million. But the premise is that she can laugh at the end and win these. Take the money out.
Then, Miss Ge, a Silicon Valley elite from China, is at the gunpoint of UTG. There is not much to introduce about Miss Ge. She is wearing a plain white one-shoulder evening dress, light-colored high heels, and unobtrusive black short hair. Holding the cup of Hawaiian Sunset placed on the edge of the table, with a faint smile on her face, she was playing with a few small chips in her hand. It could be seen that her method of playing chips was a bit unfamiliar. It seemed like it was my first time learning how to wash chips with one hand.
She has the second-lowest chip among the six, with 13 million euros, which is almost the same as Miss Alicia. Neither lady seems to have good luck tonight. But compared to those people watching under the poker table who had been eliminated early, they were considered the lucky ones.
HJ hijacks Mr. Charolet, a rich and pot-bellied British businessman. He is a well-known meat processor in the UK. Almost half of the meat products distributed in the UK are processed in his factory. There are four out of five fat fingers on each hand. Wearing a ring inlaid with gold and jade on his finger, there is a gentle smile on his rich face, and his eyes hidden in the flesh are aimed at each player without knowing what they are thinking.
His chip count is in the third-middle position, with 20 million euros, which is neither above nor below, but it also represents his good gaming table strength.
CO Guansha, a young British gentleman wearing a magician's hat, Mr. Doyle Brown. Today he is wearing elegant single-frame glasses, and the silver chain of a pocket watch is hanging on the collar of his suit, with a very serious posture. Sitting in front of the gaming table, he put his hands on the table and looked left and right at the expressions of the gamblers on both sides from time to time.
He is probably the only professional gambler on the table, and he is also a professional international poker player. He makes a living from poker and investment. He has participated in the Texas Peak "International Cup" and the blackjack "Spade Cup" and achieved excellent results. Card player.
He ranks fourth in chips, with fifteen million in chips.
As for the player sitting in the Button position, it is also the player who shines most in the private casino tonight, and is also the player whose details are most unclear, the mysterious player Miss Shao Nanyin from China.
No one knows where she comes from, and no one knows her background. The only information available is that she is the host of this party, a guest invited by Villeville. The relationship between the two seems to be somewhat intimate and ambiguous. Because many people saw them coming out of the elevator arm in arm.
In fact, the point is not at all about the background of this woman with some evil charm in Shao Nanyin's conversation. What makes the players at the gambling table and the guests in the audience behind feel incredible is what Shao Nanyin did in this casino tonight. for.
She only used one chip of the lowest denomination, the green chip representing 1,000, to win the last round of the game and became the player with the most chips on the table.
In front of Shao Nanyin, chips were piled up like a mountain. They were huge chips totaling 51 million euros. The colorful chips representing different amounts were stacked in the shape of a castle by her leisurely mind. They represented enough wealth. It makes more than 90% of the people in the world dizzy.
But Shao Nanyin didn't seem to be excited or cautious about it. A green chip was spinning rapidly between her fingers. From time to time, it was thrown up and caught between another finger and continued to spin. It was not difficult to guess that this chip The chip was the one she used to throw down the blackjack pot and use 'BLACKJACK' to kill the whole table.
Those clear eyes were playful, and the silver-gray part of the light pink tulle evening dress refracted the light, making her sit under the lamp mouth like the moon with a hazy layer of white light, and everyone who looked at her Everyone will be attracted by its slightly lazy and casual charm.
In fact, according to the rules of the fourth-floor gambling hall, once a guest loses all his chips and is unable to replenish his chips, he will be politely invited to other floors to avoid disturbing other players who are gambling, including the decoration of this floor. They are all made of fully soundproof materials. No matter how noisy the pool party on the third floor is, it will not disturb the tranquility here.
But most of the guests still stay here because they are really looking forward to the performance of this mysterious Chinese woman. From her appearance, her crazy accumulation of money, and her nonchalant attitude from the beginning to the end, it was so charming. It was as if she had mistakenly entered a "big player" game arcade and casually threw in a few game coins to kill time, but she eliminated more than half of the gamblers in this way.
So naturally many people think Shao Nanyin cheated.
Cheating in gambling is not a rare thing. Gambling and cheating are always inseparable, including this gambling game on the ‘Anthem’.
Many professional gamblers and crooks play Anthem with all their wealth in order to secure a future, but it is obvious that most of these people have been eliminated by now. The dealers and patrolling casino personnel are all professionals. , once discovered, all the chips will be taken away and the party will be forced to disembark.
Shao Nanyin is now regarded by many people as a gambling master who has superb skills but has left no handle or evidence. They want to see who is the real winner in this huge gamble on the super yacht. The huge sum of 140 million euros that countless people are angry, unwilling and regretful will eventually fall into the hands of Shui.
In anticipation of everyone's attention, as the host, Villeville did not refuse cruelly, but politely asked the remaining six guests on the gaming table what they thought.
Shao Nanyin was the first to express his stance. He casually said that things like gambling must be more lively and have more eyes, so that the game will be more exciting.
The remaining five players did not express any objection after Shao Nanyin's speech, and tacitly agreed that the audience should stay in the casino, but the prerequisite was that they must stay at least five meters away to prevent disturbing the order of the card table.
So the final game of this last game, that is, the decisive circle of the "Chips Whirlpool" began to close. The six players all sat in the center of the casino in tacit agreement on the choice of the decisive game, at the No Limit Texas Hold'em table. . Excluding "stud", "blackjack", "bridge" and other games, Texas Hold'em has become recognized as the most suitable game to end this gamble.
Use your two hole cards and the five public cards in the dealer's hand to arbitrarily form the five largest cards. This is the rule of Texas Hold'em, which is simple and easy to understand.
But Texas Hold'em is different from other poker games. Its competitiveness and gambling are among the top poker games. It is also one of the most popular casual games in the investment circle. Microsoft founder Bill Gates and stock god Buffett The rich and so on are all loyal fans of Texas Hold'em Poker.
Phil Gordon's book "The Little Green Book of Texas Hold'em Poker" also reveals the thousand-layer game of Texas Hold'em and the layered routines and gameplay: proficiency in winning probability, studying the advantages of each position, The amount and odds of betting, observing the opponent's playing habits, self-management of funds, identifying bluffs and counter-bluffs, creating false tells, etc.
Rather than completely using uncertain luck to dominate the outcome, Texas Hold'em poker is more inclined to focus on games, "incomplete information games", and factors such as card-playing strategies and player psychology can affect the outcome.
You can selectively follow or give up in the "Pre-flop" session of the first round. As you continue to enter the "Flop", "Turn", and "River" sessions, you always have the opportunity to follow. Progress and give up, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell.
Even the legendary American stock investor and fund manager Peter Lynch said: "Wall Street stock investors and securities brokers, you should learn Texas Hold'em poker. The principles here can benefit you for life."
Because this kind of game is almost exactly the same as venture capital and entrepreneurship in real life. In the unknown and uncertainty, you can use your own ideas and thinking to come up with the optimal solution from the perspective of probability and psychological game. This is Texas Hold'em. Charm.
Moreover, what the six players are currently playing is "No Limit Texas Hold'em," which is known as the easiest way to lose everything in an instant. This means that this game may be a tug-of-war, or it may inadvertently involve someone's hands. It ends with one push and shouts "All in".
In the first round of No Limit Texas Hold'em, during the pre-flop session, everyone has two hole cards in their hands. The small blind and big blind are 5,000 and 10,000. The first three public cards have not yet been revealed.
After looking at their trump cards, both the Russian Mr. Zhukovsky and the daughter Alicia chose 'Check'. Miss Ge looked around and seemed to find it interesting, so she placed a pink chip and placed her bet. .
"Bet, ten thousand." The old British gentleman dealer moved the chips into the blind pile with his fingers.
"Call."
"Call."
The last two players followed in seconds without even a moment of pause.
Everyone on the card table is observing each other's facial expressions, whether they are smiling or expressionless. The exchange of gazes is a silent suspicion and game. In the first game, everyone played more conservatively, maybe they were cheating. My own betting habits, every behavior is hidden, and every move and every move is filled with drama and game.
Then the speaker reached the last Button position. There were now 45,000 chips in the betting pool. She could choose to follow the bet or fold.
The five players at the poker table all looked at the Chinese girl, wanting to see what her "magic" was based on tonight.
Shao Nanyin was spinning the chips and playing with the "pink" roof of the chip castle in front of him. Without raising his head, he smiled and said: "All in."
There were low voices in the hall, and everyone looked up at her, as if they had seen a ghost.
It wasn't because of All In's bold move. Of course he could All In if he got good cards. But the two hole cards that the dealer dealt to Shao Nanyin lay there untouched, and she didn't even open them to take a look.
Perhaps out of accident and respect, the dealer read out Shao Nanyin's full name: "Miss Shao Nanyin, 51 million chips, All in."
The betting pool suddenly grew to 51,045,000 euros.
