When playing stud, the dealer generally does not use the card dealing box (trapezoidal, transparent long strip box, semicircular opening, or one side is directly empty for taking cards, because Baccarat uses 3 to 6 decks of cards, which are generally needed), because the game of stud only uses 52 cards in total, so before the dealer wants to deal the cards, the first action generally to be done is to place 52 cards on the table with one hand Spread out and place in a fan shape, the spacing between the cards should be as consistent as possible, and the cards should be neat and distinct.
This is a basic skill. The seemingly short two-second movement is actually very simple. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself with a deck of cards on the table. Anyway, I have come to a conclusion after trying it: failure is the eternal mother of success.
Xiao Huahua is indeed an excellent dealer. After all, his strength has been affirmed by the snake. The 52-card poker unfolded by him showed a nearly perfect card pattern. He quickly distributed a hole card to each person. The whole process was fast and Quiet. The face of the cards is close to the table, and there is no possibility of cheating.
Then there were two open cards, which were placed in front of Wang Xu and Snake respectively. On Wang Xu's table was a 2 of diamonds, and in front of Snake was a K of clubs.
Just as Snake was about to reach out to see his hole cards, Wang Xu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" The snake's hand stopped.
"I haven't checked the cards yet!"
"This card is generated by the system, what is it tested?"
Wang Xu said: "Oh, then you are wearing liquid crystal contact lenses!"
"What it is… "
"Open your eyes wide and let me see first."
"Please don't make trouble for no reason... Gambling in the virtual world, it is impossible to cheat on the hardware."
Wang Xu said: "Oh, let's see if such a thing will happen. For example, there is a hidden camera behind me peeking at my hole cards, and then your subordinates will contact you through private chat."
"There's no such thing... and the seat you're sitting in was chosen by yourself just now, I said how long are you going to mess around..."
Wang Xu rubbed his chin and struggled with his thoughts: "Okay, I'll just believe it." He picked up the two cards in front of him, twisted the hole cards, glanced at them, shook his head and sighed, and put them back on the table.
Snake also looked at his hole cards at the same time, but his expression remained unchanged.
Xiaohua Hua said: "Please call for Plum Blossom K Noodles."
The snake pressed a few keys on the window next to it: "One hundred thousand."
Wang Xu sighed again, frowning: "Hey... I'll follow." He operated on the table, and then clicked another button: "Then... Shuttle!"
The snake's eyeballs are about to go out, and you just shuttle two cards? ! A 2 on your face is actually shuttled? ! I am a pair of K! Are you courting death? !
"What do you mean? Do you want to try your luck with me?"
Wang Xu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that luck is meaningless?"
Snake snorted coldly: "Don't forget, I have the backing of the casino, and you only have this one million. I can lose a lot of money, but every showhand of yours means a direct failure."
"Then follow me! What are you talking about?" Wang Xu's expression at this moment is the same as that of the famous lawyer Mr. Fang Tangjing when he said: "Hit me, you idiot!"
"Hmph... no problem, I'll just spend a million dollars to see your cards, at most it's a 2!" Snake also clicked the SHOWHAND button, then turned to Xiao Hua and said, "Let's deal the cards."
For the next three cards, Snake got all loose cards, while Wang Xu got a pair of 6s and a 10.
The snake opened its hole cards by itself: "I have a pair of kings, let me see your hole cards."
Wang Xu shrugged and turned out a 10: "Look! Two pairs! YEAH!"
The snake looked at him: "You have a 10 in your hole, a 2 on the table, and then SHOWHAND?!"
Wang Xu said disdainfully: "Stop talking nonsense, the master wins, give me money!"
As a result, the bet in front of the snake became zero, and Wang Xu's chips rose to two million.
"Do you think this kind of temporary luck can keep you winning?" The snake was not angry either. In his opinion, it was just a matter of probability, and there was nothing to be upset about.
Wang Xu rolled his eyes to the sky: "I am a technology!"
"Okay, I'll continue to learn your skills." The chips on Snake's table increased again at this time, becoming the same as Wang Xu's two million.
Then came the second round, the development of this round was exactly the same as before, the snake got a pair of old man's heads, a hole card and a bright card at the very beginning. And Wang Xu has a small 4 and an unknown hole card.
You can basically guess what happened next, this time it's time for another...
Five minutes later, Snake's bet became zero again, while Wang Xu's was four million.
"Brother Snake, I think you don't look very well, do you want to order some pork liver to replenish your blood?" Wang Xu was so trembling that he was so arrogant that he almost fell apart.
The snake said: "I can't order the food you mentioned!"
The third game started, and this time it was a little different. On the card, Wang Xu got an ACE, and the snake got a 7. Both of them finished looking at the hole cards, and Xiaohua Hua said: "The ACE on the card is called."
Wang Xu thought for a while: "Ten thousand."
This time the snake didn't expect that your kid has changed sex? If the card is too big, it's called this? But his expression is still calm: "What? Don't you suddenly feel that your luck is gone?"
Wang Xu slapped the table: "Damn it! How dare you challenge me! Shut up!"
The corner of Xiao Huahua's mouth twitched: "You've called ten thousand just now..."
"What are you doing?! He didn't say whether to follow or not! I decided to shuttle now, why?!"
The snake said: "Okay, I won't follow." He turned over his hole card, a J.
The game continued like this. The styles of the two men were completely opposite. Wang Xu played very smoothly. He never seemed to count the cards, but studded recklessly. He didn't even bother to take a look at his own cards. Anyway, he pressed them all down. When the five cards arrived, he would draw the hole cards. If he won, he would win, and if he didn't win, he would lose.
As for Snake, although he has been losing all the time, he plays every hand extremely reasonably. According to the size of the cards, the possible suits of the opponent, his own hole cards, and the probability of various pairs, he will choose to follow. Or not follow.
It's just that today's poker game is very demonic. According to Wang Xu's style of play, under normal circumstances, he would have already lost his fortune, but now he has won 50 million chips, but Snake has lost so far. win.
When Snake replenished his chips again, he said, "It seems that this is the last game, Showhand boy."
Wang Xu said: "If I miss the shuttle, it will be the last game."
"Which round have you had no shuttle so far?"
"Cut...then which game have you not lost so far?"
Snake's face was almost distorted, the expression seemed to be filled with all the anger that could be written on his face in this life, and after today he became paralyzed: "Deal the cards!"
Xiao Huahua's dealing of cards was the same as at the beginning, neat and perfect. Before such an unbelievable game, his fingers didn't even tremble a bit. To do this can only show that he has experienced many battles. Even if he himself has some emotional fluctuations, his hands are always as steady as a rock. As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance, this bald man has a feeling that Zhang Fei can also embroider, thick and thin.
In this last round, on the board, Wang Xu had a 10 of spades, and the snake was an ACE of hearts. Snake was expressionless after looking at the hole cards, but Wang Xu, he didn't look at his hole cards at all.
"Ace of hearts speaks."
The snake's voice sounded: "Five million."
Wang Xu said: "How did you calculate it? An ACE is worth two million, and a pair is worth five million?"
The snake replied: "So, you think my hole card is also an ACE?"
Wang Xu's tone suddenly became very cold, making people shudder and cold: "I don't know, but there is a 51.90876351% possibility of a pair out of five cards, if you get a pair in the first two cards, Isn't that worth five million? Anyway, I remember, there were five rounds just now, you got a pair with a higher value than me at the beginning, and you all chose to bet 10% of the current stack, didn't you?"
"I really underestimated you." The snake's face turned gloomy again.
"It's just that I underestimated you. Your acting skills in pretending to be irritated by me are really not bad."
"Then your complacency and arrogance are just playing tricks?"
Wang Xu stared at the snake's eyes: "I will cooperate with you in the whole set."
"Hahahaha..." Snake laughed out loud: "Then what will you do now? Continue to SHOWHAND? I suggest you pick up your hole cards first and see what to do next?"
"No, I'll call." Wang Xu entered the chips: "Let's deal the cards."
This time, Snake got another ACE of clubs, while Wang Xu got a Jack of spades.
"A pair of ACEs speak."
"Twenty-five million." Snake decisively entered the chips.
"You follow probabilities too much, so all your actions can be judged." Wang Xu said, following up with the chips.
At this time, the fourth card of the two also arrived, the snake got another ACE of diamonds, and Wang Xu got the Q of spades.
"Three ACEs speak."
The snake immediately said: "SHOWHAND."
Wang Xu still didn't look at the hole cards: "I call."
In the final round of dealing, Snake got a 9 of spades, and Wang Xu got a K of spades.
Snake smiled and said, "You are finished after all, Showhand boy."
Wang Xu said, "How can you see that?"
The snake said: "You want a straight flush, but it's a pity that I have the 9 of spades, and according to your theory, I should have four aces, right? In other words, you can no longer have a straight flush! The 10, J of spades , Q, K, meaningless, at most you can make a flush or a straight, is it bigger than my four?!"
Wang Xu leaned back in the chair, calm as ever: "Then you must have four."
Snake's expression changed abruptly. This time he was really angry. He stood up and tried his best to flip over his hole cards: "That's right, I'm not four of a kind, my hole card is just a 3 of diamonds. But you only have a pair at most! There is a 51% chance that you are a pair! I have three ACEs to beat you!"
"That's why I said, your actions are too easy to be seen through..." Wang Xu said weakly.
"Hmph... You guessed wrong, but you still have to speak up? Who is the second-rate guy now?" Snake retorted.
"Just like you pretended to be very angry, since our first game, all your actions on the poker table are also disguised." Sitting there, Wang Xu explained calmly: "Your betting ratio, And your deck, every time is the same combination, 5% for two flushes, 10% for pairs above 10, pairs below 10, possible straights, etc., those ratio combinations are completely Consistent, as long as you bid first, you will follow this rule, and after I SHOWHAND, you will also decide whether to follow or not based on suits, probability, etc. It is as accurate as a machine, and you will show your cards at the end of each round Show me. This is your technique. You are creating a false impression for your opponent, making him think that he has mastered your card rules.
But I can say that you have almost no flaws. The only rule I have caught from you is the only real rule, that is—you will change your style of play in a critical round! "
The snake's pupils began to shrink, and fear crept into his heart.
Wang Xu continued: "So, I knew from the beginning of this game that you are not a pair of aces. But I deliberately explained everything just now, and then said some lines that only second-rate people would say. You were immediately elated and thought I had been fooled." , I thought I was holding on to the false laws you created and fell into a trap.
The timing of your SHOWHAND is when you get three aces, at that time you are sure to win, no matter what the last card is, you have at least three aces! When the last card comes down, you may even have a fullhouse or four of a kind. As for me, in your opinion, at this table where skill is greater than luck, I have a 51% chance of being a pair. As for a straight flush, 0.001385169%, when you get the final 9 of spades, this probability is even more slim. "
"You said so much, but after seeing my hole card, you put it as an afterthought. Stop talking, and play your hole card!"
Wang Xu sneered: "Huh... I haven't seen this hole card myself, but I know that I can beat you as well. In terms of the probability you like to play the most, it is 0.19% for a flush and 1.41% for a straight , Why, your expression seems to say that the probability is very low, isn't it? Then let's witness it together."
He lifted the hole card on the table and threw it into the air. Snake and Xiao Huahua stared at the fluttering and falling poker, their expressions beyond shock.
This is an ACE, the ACE of Spades.
Wang Xu's chips instantly jumped to 100 million.
Snake sat paralyzed on the chair, and murmured: "You... how do you know... You obviously haven't read it..." Although he said this, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
Destiny always stands behind those who have faith, even if it is a gambler's unfounded confidence in winning.
Years later, when Snake recalled this game of gambling, he finally understood that, in fact, gambling is nothing more than a game between two people. Wisdom, skill, courage, and even faith determine the outcome. It doesn't matter what Wang Xu's hole card is today, because before he draws the cards, the competition between the two has already been divided.
Wang Xu didn't take this contest seriously. After winning enough money, he walked leisurely towards the door, carrying a lot of free snacks in his hand, and left behind a sentence: "This is called supernatural power."
