Chapter 0949 Double Stare
Generally speaking, when professional croupiers shuffle the cards, they will first check the cards of the players participating in the game, and then start shuffling after confirming that the poker cards are correct.
In the process of checking the cards, you must first remember the order of the cards. Then when the dealer starts to shuffle the cards, he has to rely on his hearing to hear what the original card type looks like after being shuffled!
Basically, a qualified dealer will shuffle the playing cards very evenly when shuffling the cards. Basically, every card in the two hands will be cross-mixed with the cards in the other hand, but occasionally mixed When two or three cards fall at the same time, it requires a master gambler to rely on his superb hearing to capture this subtle difference in sound.
A playing card flies through the air, and it is impossible for people to hear what the playing card is! But to hear the croupier shuffling, whether one card is crossed with one card, or one card is crossed with two cards, this can still be heard if the listening is trained strictly.
But the problem is... The croupier will not just shuffle the cards once and give up. In regular games, they have to shuffle the cards at least three times.
So... Even if you hear the card type after the first shuffling, it is still useless, you must still hear the changes in the card type after the second and third shuffling.
Because there are too many changes, so... It is not enough for you to have amazing hearing ability to accurately hear the position of each card after shuffling. You must also have a strong memory to remember the position after each card type change. Remember to be clear, so that you can grasp the final card type.
But...it seems very simple to say, but in fact the process is very complicated, especially the memory level, which is even more sad.
Basically no one can clearly remember the position of each card in the whole deck after the dealer has shuffled the cards three times. After all, the human brain is not a computer. How can it completely remember all the changes in the card types after three shuffles in such a short period of time?
So... most gambling masters only focus on memorizing the first dozen or so cards of a deck when they listen to the cards.
And even if you only memorize the first dozen or so cards, not everyone can memorize them. Most people can only memorize 30-40%. Because every time the croupier shuffles the cards, he must first divide a pile of cards into two, and then shuffle the cards on both sides together. So... If you only memorized the first dozen or so cards from the beginning, then when you shuffle the cards for the second time, half of the original lower half of the cards will be shuffled to the upper half.
In this way, it may cause you to only remember what the second, fourth and sixth cards are, but you don't know what the third, fifth and seventh cards are at all. And next, if the croupier shuffles the cards for the third time, there will be even less to remember!
But even if you only remember 30% to 40%, if you bet against ordinary people, you will have a huge advantage, it is really hard to lose!
But if the gambling masters are betting against each other... then it depends on who can memorize more cards and be more accurate. At this time, it depends on the skill of cutting the cards... If you have cut the cards, you don't have to worry about the two cards that are about to be dealt to you. As long as you find a way to predict the contents of the opponent's hole cards in advance, then This game is half won.
For example, Yuichi Yamada cut off the first three cards just now, which is a relatively common method of cutting cards. Most people remember the first few cards of a deck clearly, and Yuichi Yamada cut off the three cards. , most people dare not cut down the cards at will, because they are afraid that they will not be able to remember anything after the cut. And if the other party can still remember one or two of them, then they will fall into a passive position.
But...Xiang Tianze played the cards completely unreasonably, and cut off another twenty-nine cards as soon as he made a move. In this way...more than half of this deck of cards has been cut off, leaving only the rest Twenty cards, what the hell... who can remember what the cards behind are!
Or... In this case, the only advantage that a master gambler has over ordinary gamblers is that he can still remember what was cut off from the previous dozen or so cards, so if he uses the elimination method, he will roughly know Which cards are left in the following cards, but at least the specific order of these cards is difficult to judge.
Yamada Yuichi and the others were surprised when they heard that Xiang Tianze wanted to cut off twenty-nine cards. They couldn't help but marvel at how Xiang Tianze had such a good memory, and could remember the patterns of the second half of the cards.
But then...reason told them that this is impossible, then...or the only possibility is that Xiang Tianze didn't even memorize a few of the previous dozen cards, so he simply used this trick... …Cut the cards directly to the second half. Anyway, no one remembers the cards in this part, so you can only gamble based on luck.
This kind of gambling is nothing to ordinary people, but to gambling experts like them, it's just a rogue!
Therefore... the eyes of several people present couldn't help showing contempt, and then Andrew cut off another 29 cards according to what Xiang Tianze said, and then distributed the cards to two people...
Yuichi Yamada is completely ignorant of the card types of this deck. After the two hole cards were dealt to his hand, he opened them up and took a look. Seeing a 10 of hearts and a Q of spades, he was overjoyed. .
In the first hand, Yuichi Yamaguchi was designated as the dealer, so before the cards were dealt, Xiang Tianze had already bet a small blind of one million, and Yuichi Yamada followed with a big blind of two million. Note. At this moment, it was Xiang Tianze's turn to call, but he didn't even look at the hole cards, he just pushed forward all the chips in front of him and said, "I'm all-in!"
Yamada Yuichi almost jumped up from his seat when he heard that...
I'm going to go, what are you all-in? This is only the first round, and only two hole cards have been dealt, okay? The community cards haven't even been revealed yet, so you're all-in, can you still play well?
Both Andrew and Bernie were taken aback by Xiang Tianze's weird style of play, Bernie even coughed lightly, and asked Xiang Tianze for confirmation: "Mr. Gu... are you serious? Are you sure you want to go all-in?"
Xiang Tianze nodded and said, "Are you joking about this kind of thing? Of course it's all-in... I'm the person who is most afraid of trouble. No matter what I do, I like to be more straightforward. Anyway, everyone doesn't know this deck now. What will it look like, since this is the case... then it's better to leave it to fate to arrange, whether you win or lose, you will stare twice, how good it is!"
"Well……"
Bernie couldn't help but rolled his eyes, don't you still look like a master of gambling, don't you? He even rolled his eyes and stared twice. This is clearly a gambler's mentality, isn't it? As a gambling master, one should always keep a calm mind and careful analysis. How can one leave the result to fate? If everyone is playing like this, what kind of gambling skills do you still need to learn? Just be lucky!
