If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

"What do you call a new player?"

When this new guest in the casino was about to step onto the Texas Hold'em poker table, a figure stopped him first. That was Villeville. He stood holding a glass of champagne that he didn't know where he came from. In front of the boy, he said hello with a polite smile on his face.

The rule of not hitting someone with a smiling face applies everywhere, so in front of Willie Vere, this menacing-looking guest also stopped and looked up and down at the man with a pencil mustache and oiled hair. A curly hair hanging down from the front makes him look both gangster and gentleman.

"Lin Nian."

Villeville got his wish and got a name from the boy's mouth. That is to say, the name was collected by the auricle, reached the tympanic membrane and passed to the inner ear. After being analyzed by the brain and compared with the memory, his pupils dilated in an instant, but then again. After a moment, he shrank and focused his gaze on the face of the boy in front of him.

"Mr. Lin Nian? It's our first time meeting you." Vilay's tone, movements and gestures did not show any signs of stagnation. They were still so natural that others could not see anything wrong.

But what he didn't expect was that the boy in front of him glanced at him and said calmly, "First meeting? It may be for me, but it may not be for you."

"You are kidding, what are you talking about?" Willie Weier smiled and waved his hand, looking sideways and waving to the staff at the chip management office in the distance, "Bring some chips to Mr. Lin Nian. How many chips do you want to exchange?"

Lin Nian looked at the man who seemed to have noticed that he had insight into his pupil changes and abnormal hormone secretion, and decisively avoided eye contact with him and said, "What is the minimum amount that can be exchanged?"

Willie Weier did not answer Lin Nian himself, but looked at the old dealer at the gaming table. The old dealer also put down the pile of cards in his hand with understanding and introduced the new guest to the fourth floor of the casino from beginning to end. rules.

After listening to the rules, Lin Nian looked at the waiter who came over with a plate of minimum guaranteed chips of two million and said: "It seems that I came a little late and a little lucky. Wouldn't this be unfair to the people before me? ?”

"Are you saying that you directly participated in the final round as soon as you arrived?" Mr. Doyle Brown, a senior gambler at the gambling table, lightly pressed his black hat. "If you are worried about this, you should be careful." It’s not necessary. Rather than saying it’s unfair to us, the person who’s really disadvantaged by the current situation should be you, right?”

"Why do you say that?"

"Well you don't seem to understand how Texas hold'em is played?"

"I've seen others play a few games, so I know the basic rules." Lin Nian made a simple gesture to the waiter with his right index and middle fingers together, then walked up to the huge gaming table and sat down next to the British boss who had already left the table. In the boss's seat, the waiter also silently and understandingly piled the chips worth two million euros in the tray in front of him.

Seeing that Lin Nian had entered the venue, Willie Weil stopped disturbing the situation and quietly retreated into the crowd to watch what happened. However, his face was no longer as relaxed and free as when he was appreciating the gambling game before.

"Rookie, if the two of us play a game of rock, paper, scissors and bet our fortunes, but the difference in wealth between you and me is a hundred times, who do you think will be bankrupt in the end?" Doyle Brown looked at it with interest. This young man who seemed to know nothing but had mysterious confidence sat next to him.

"Texas Hold'em Poker is also a game about net worth. As long as the gap between levels of skills is not too large, whoever has a rich net worth will have a greater chance of winning. Information games are always accompanied by systemic risks. Your Wealth is capital that resists risks. The greater your net worth, the greater your error tolerance, and the easier it is to deduce your betting psychology and gaming process, which will also make you a target at the poker table." Doyle Brown dropped a few chips from his fingers and said, "Do you believe that even if the gambling hall now opens the possibility of re-exchanging chips, not many people would be willing to enter?"

Lin Nian glanced at the chips in front of everyone on the gambling table. Even the smallest one had a pile of chips worth more than 10 million. With too little financial resources, he inherently lost the ability to "bluff" and "all in". Advantages (①): There are thousands of changes in the Texas Hold'em poker game. Not only your own card strength must be considered, but your opponent's and your own financial resources are also important conditions for winning or losing.

"Hey, are you trying to persuade our new guests to give up?" Miss Ge, who was sitting on the right side of Lin Nian at the poker table, looked at Doyle Brown while playing with her chips.

"You can think that I am soft-hearted and don't want to see newbies rush into the slaughterhouse rashly." Doyle Brown spread his hands.

"I thought a senior gambler like you would be as eager to coax people to the table as to coax them to bed. There's no such thing as driving the 'fish' into the lake."

"What the hell, but it's too late to say this now, isn't it?" Doyle Brown shrugged. Lin Nian was already sitting at the gambling table. When the two million chips fell on the green gambling table, he was already involved. Once you are in the gambling pool, it is impossible to withdraw.

So this guy basically waited until Lin Nian was already in the game and couldn't stop going back on his word before he "carefully" explained the reasons to him. He also showed off his knowledge in front of the novices and was not afraid that the new 'fish' would run away. , there is nothing better than hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

"Don't be too specific in the first game? Give the novices a chance to 'bluff'? Don't bite others easily, which makes them unhappy and the atmosphere at the poker table is not good." Miss Ge suggested kindly.

"I never bully others." Miss Alicia reconsidered with a smile.

"Is this a blatant illegal poker partnership?" Doyle Brown said with some exaggeration. "So Texas Hold'em poker also relies on face power in addition to financial and card strength? You two ladies, are you looking at face power? Are you talking?"

"I'm not here to gamble." Lin Nian spoke.

"Aren't you here to gamble? Then you took the two million chips just to listen to the noise?" Doyle Brown seemed to be very interested in chatting with this strange Chinese boy.

"You seem to be talking a little too much," Lin Nian said.

"Ops, if you want a quieter poker table, maybe you can reduce the number of people appropriately?" Doyle Brown was given such a cold blow, and he immediately spread his hands and lay back on the back of his chair and said a joke. Ease embarrassment.

Everyone else at the poker table laughed silently, but Lin Nian silently took a look at the audience and guests gathered around the gambling table, as well as the excessive number of players at the table, and he agreed with Doyle Brown's opinion in his heart. This sentence.

"Do I have to leave if I lose all my chips?" Lin Nian looked at the croupier and asked.

"Yes, sir." The croupier nodded with his hands behind his back.

"What about them?" Lin Nian looked at the gorgeously dressed guests, many of whom were looking at him and whispering.

"The players at the gaming table allow them to stay and watch the game," the dealer explained.

"I understand." Lin Nian replied, and then looked at the opposite corner of the gambling table, where sat the person who had been silent and did not join the conversation from the time he appeared until now.

Shao Nanyin didn't look at Lin Nian, she just lowered her head and twirled the green chip, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

"Don't like crowded places?" Doyle Brown looked at Lin Nian and asked casually.

Lin Nian did not change his gaze or answer him, but asked the dealer: "Can I check the cards?"

"Verification?"

The expressions of the rest of the people at the card table became subtle. Although it is normal to play poker and check cards in gambling, it also depends on the occasion and time. Needless to say, the specifications of the private gambling room on this ship are. Everyone on the show is a decent person. No matter what they think secretly, at least on the surface they can still trust the authority and impartiality of the organizer.

But as soon as the newcomer arrived, he asked for a license check, which made it clear that he was losing face to the organizer.

The gaming table was very quiet, and no one raised any objections or ridiculed Lin Nian for his ignorance, because before Lin Nian, there had been an intriguing card game at this gaming table (②), and many people actually thought There were already some seeds of doubt, but there was no chance for them to take root and sprout. Now someone has directly given a chance for these ideas to come out. They have no reason to rush out and sing the opposite, and they are all waiting to see what happens.

"Of course." The dealer's performance was also quite calm. It is normal for players at the gambling table to ask for card verification. If the casino refuses, it will make people question it.

"The card verification process must be fair and open. Can you accept this, sir?" The dealer meant that Lin Nian's card verification must be witnessed by everyone, lest the card verification turn into cheating.

Lin Nian nodded, and the dealer leaned over half of the gaming table and placed the deck of cards in front of him. He placed the deck of cards face up on the gaming table with one hand, and gently pressed the cards with his thumb to move the entire deck. The playing cards drew a beautiful half-arc on the table, and each playing card with a different suit, color, and number was displayed under the light. In less than a second, he gathered all the playing cards with one hand and handed them back to Holland. Officer: "There's nothing wrong with the cards."

This card test made me feel lonely. Doyle Brown on the side thought to himself, but did not say this thought out loud. However, he could not help but look at Lin Nian with contempt. He silently believed that Lin Nian was from a wealthy family who came to the fourth floor to have fun. It's just a child. It's completely normal for young people of this age to want to attract attention in front of beautiful girls.

"Can we continue?" The dealer looked at the other players.

No one commented.

The dealer nodded, then shuffled the poker cards in his hands skillfully, "Mr. Lin Nian placed a big blind bet of 20,000, and Miss Ge placed a small blind bet of 10,000. The big and small blinds doubled every fifteen minutes (③)."

ps①: The number of chips you have in Texas Hold'em represents your financial resources. The size of your financial resources will largely affect your personal judgment of raising and following bets. If a person has more financial resources, he may follow casually, and his opponent may also follow the bets. Will use this to judge the size of his hole cards.

The most classic one in reality is the genius bluff player Tom Dwan. His skills in catching bluffs and bluffs are top-notch, but until he met the Chinese bosses who were not short of money, he followed and reraised without thinking. You, a foreigner, was pushed to push the chips to expose the quintessence of China.

ps②: The card game between Shao Nanyin and Charolette replicated the recent "J4 card incident", the suspenseful incident between the female player Robbi and the senior card player Garrett. If you are interested, you can search for the keyword "J4 card" on station B Bureau".

ps③: No-limit Texas Hold’em poker has rules for raising blinds. The stakes in the fourth-floor gambling hall of ‘Anthem’ are very large, so the blinds will also rise very quickly to avoid the existence of passive players who fold every time.
