My 1979

But it may not be a correct generalization. After all, the Chinese world has a huge population base. Even if there are only a few tenths of gambling blogs, it is equivalent to the total population of a small country.

After finding a parking space and getting off at the Central Pier, Yu Dehua did not go to the ticket office to buy a ticket. Li He asked, "Where are you going? Get the ticket."

Yu Dehua said, "Let's take the Cotai Express. We don't have to squeeze in the boat."

As Yu Dehua's business grows, he has unconsciously entered the role of a big boss.

Li He was naturally happy. The speedboat was much faster than the ferry.

He used to go to Macau a lot, but it was not for gambling, but because he was suffering from literary disease, and he wanted to experience the history and culture, such as the historical center of Macau and the ruins of the old city wall.

Of course, I have played a few games, all in the lobby, playing Texas Poker, and winning thousands of dollars. The sense of accomplishment is more important than the money itself, because playing Texas Poker requires being good at calculations and observing people. Being able to win money also represents a kind of ability. .

The speedboat is relatively fast, and it only took more than an hour to arrive in Macau.

Li He said, "Eat something first, it's already noon."

Yu Dehua nodded, took a taxi and found a familiar hotel.

When getting out of the car to pay, Su Ming was shocked, "It's such a small distance and it's only 50 Hong Kong dollars. We might as well walk."

Yu Dehua glanced at Su Ming with disdain and said, "It's rare to see someone strange."

After several people finished eating, they started to head towards the casino, but the Venetian, Wynn, and Lisboa that Li and he were familiar with were nowhere to be seen.

Yu Dehua also took him to the Macao Entertainment Hotel, which has more than 40 floors.

Yu Dehua entered the door familiarly. The air in the casino is full of oxygen, and the oxygen content is about 3% higher than outside. Therefore, when Li He enters the lobby, his spirits will be raised to a higher level than usual. status.

As soon as Yu Dehua entered the door, he stopped under a large corner TV screen and slapped his thigh in shame, "How come I forgot about the horse racing today? I want to research and buy horses. You guys Let’s take a stroll first, it’s very safe here, no one is looking for trouble.”

Li He couldn't help but smile, "You are really capable. You came all the way to Macau just to buy horses."

Yu Dehua bought 10,000 yuan in chips and handed them to Li He, "You go and play first. I'll find you later."

Many gamblers in the messy hall were excited and having a great time.

It's hard for people to stay rational in a place like this. The more you win, the more greed you have. After losing a lot, I try desperately to make up my losses, and my personality is distorted without even realizing it.

So it doesn’t matter how much money you win, or how many times you win.

Once reason is swallowed up by greed, the value of money, awareness of risks, and even the meaning of life will be left behind. I am no longer who I used to be, I am just a lamb to be slaughtered by the casino.

At this level, what about the richest man? What about high officials?

When a gambler in this state goes to the gambling table, his thinking ability is not as good as that of a primary school student.

My brain is gone, so where is my ability to think?

It is bold and decisive for a person to bet on important things once or twice in his life. If he bets on impulse in everything, he is a gambler.

Small gambling brings pleasure, but big gambling harms the body. Career comes first and family is the most important thing.

Li He gave Su Ming the box containing the chips and walked around, looking for suitable opportunities to try his luck.

He had been standing in front of a Texas table for a while. Most of the people lost more and won less, and most of them had bare pockets. However, there were also a few who got lucky and were not greedy. They walked away with great satisfaction after winning. . There are only four people at the poker table now.

This table is the biggest bet that Li He has ever encountered, both with blind bets of 500/1000. There are already many very professional players on this level of table, and there are very few fish. The so-called fish means "people are for the swordsmen, and I am for the fish." ".

There are no small chips on the table anymore, they are all black 100 chips. There are usually tens of thousands of wins or losses in a round, and it even feels like a fight to the death.

But it’s not a big bet, larger bets are usually found in VIP rooms.

If Li He were asked to use "Three Represents" to describe the broad and profound Chinese culture, his choice would definitely be: Mahjong, Jinhua, and Landlord Fighting.

They always represent the development requirements of China's entertainment industry, the direction of Chinese society, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people.

However, these three representatives are popular in mainland China, but they have not become popular in Macau.

The popular ones in Macau are: baccarat, slot machines, and Texas poker.

Of all the poker games, there is no poker game that is more risky than Texas Poker. You must treat every hand with caution, because any inadvertent mistake may make you bankrupt.

Many professional poker players simply dare not touch this kind of game. Their psychology and the money in their pockets cannot afford such ups and downs, life and death in one round.

In more advanced places, millions or even tens of millions of chips are pushed around on the card table, and a hand of cards usually lasts only three to five minutes.

Yes, five minutes, just five minutes, a hand of cards can create a new multi-millionaire, or make a multi-millionaire who was five minutes ago bankrupt.

Li He saw a middle-aged man get off the stage cursing, and then he sat down directly in the empty seat.

Li He just wanted to see where his level was.

He only has a capital of 10,000, and he will be pulled down if he loses.

And the only entertainment projects he is good at are Snake and Texas.

This Snake game on the old Nokia has almost made him tired of playing it. He can just eat the beans slowly to make them longer, or he can move around in a coquettish way. It doesn't matter how he plays, and the rhythm can't be stopped at all. If you don't want to die, you must watch your tail.

I can’t say that Texas Poker Li He plays very well, but at least it’s not bad. This is a game of trade-offs and calculations, a game of courage and shrewdness. However, Li He is often more calculating than courageous, and usually likes to fight with his colleagues. A joy.

Li He directly threw the blind bet on the card table, and the dealer began to deal the cards.

The only thing he was worried about was that the big bald fish left the poker table with at least one million chips in front of him.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a wet wipe and ordered a cup of tea to refresh himself.

The cards were re-dealt, and the small blind got K and 3 of different suits. The flop was: a diamond, 6 hearts, 2 spades. Although Li He followed up with 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, he could participate in a 50,000 yuan pot.

But there was a foreigner behind her, and the foreigner had already moved all-in several times, so Li He folded.

People are not harmonious and their temperaments are inconsistent.

There was also a charter woman sitting next to Li He, smoking a cigarette and crossing her legs. Her poker skills were very good, at least not weaker than Li He's. However, her playing style was aggressive and her bets were fierce. The chips on the table were also piling up. The more, "I'm in trouble today."

The terminology in the industry does not mention the words "lose" and "win". Winning means "adding money", losing means "going water", washing chips with "washing" or "turning", gamblers adding chips are called "adding money" and so on.

Li He plays very conservatively. He will only enter the pot if he gets a really big card before the flop. He only plays two to three cards an hour. He rarely steals chickens, rarely goes all-in, and rarely plays in the lottery. Go all-in before the river...

This left everyone with his conservative image of feeding the fish before fishing.

The most important thing is that he lacks chips.
