[Chapter 15, Card Master]

Five minutes passed quickly, and the bell in the middle of the table rang, making a clear "ding" sound. The young man put all the playing cards on the table into his hands and said: "Please prepare."

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

The young man's slender hands began to shuffle the cards quickly, and 52 playing cards overlapped into a ball of light and shadow in his hands.

The whole room was extremely quiet, only the sound of him shuffling the cards was left.

After a while, the young man finished shuffling the cards and said calmly: "There is no dealer in this game. The seven people play each other and compare the size of the cards with each other. The one with the biggest wins."

"You can discard cards at any time during the game, but each person only has five opportunities to actively discard cards, and must follow after they are used up. You can only use the transfer beads once in seven games, and the transfer beads will try to let you get the best cards.

One of the types, please pay attention to the timing of use."

"The game starts, everyone is asked to bet 1,000 deposits."

Everyone cooperated and threw a gold coin into the prize pool in the middle of the table.

"The first round of dealing cards starts from No. 1 and rotates counterclockwise."

The seven challengers received a card in turn, face down, and the back of the card was pure black.

Xiao Lou gently turned over a corner of the playing card - 2 of Hearts.

He looked around. Everyone's faces were covered by masks and their expressions could not be seen clearly, but some people's eyes showed obvious frustration. It might be because the cards they received in the first round were poor.

The young man said: "The second round of dealing cards starts from No. 1. Do you want cards?"

Xiao Lou: "I want a card."

The boy dealt him a card.

Block 3.

Xiao Lou thought for a while and said: "Add 1000."

With 2 hearts and 3 diamonds, the total number of cards in his hand is only 5, so he can continue to play.

The young man said: "No. 2, please choose."

Girl No. 2 sitting on the right side of Xiao Lou had pale skin and a slender figure that made people feel worried. She whispered: "I want a card." After getting a card and turning it over, the girl's voice trembled slightly.

: "Discard, discard."

The cards she threw out were 9 of diamonds and 8 of hearts. The total points totaled more than ten and a half. She was indeed very unlucky.

number 3.

Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "I want a card."

The young man dealt him a card. After Yu Hanjiang read it, he simply threw the two cards into the waste card pool in the middle of the table: "Discard the cards."

After the curly-haired woman No. 4 got the card, she hesitated for a moment and put a gold coin into the prize pool: "Follow."

At this time, No. 2 and No. 3 folded, and No. 1 and No. 4 each called for 1,000. The prize pool of the game reached 9,000 gold coins.

Position 5.

The man with pigtails asked for the cards. He gently lifted a corner of the playing cards with his fingers, looked at the numbers on the two cards, and then made a move that surprised everyone——

The man pushed all the gold coins in his hand to the center of the card table with a loud bang.

He said calmly: "all in."

Xiao Lou: "..."

other people:"…………"

Did you play so hard in the first fucking game?!

Most people would choose to wait and see in the first game, and the cards were dealt for only two rounds. He actually put all the gold coins in his hand - all in. If he lost, he would be immediately thrown into the nightmare chamber by the gatekeeper.

!

Normal people would not work so hard.

He chose to go all-in, and there were only two possibilities——

The first is that the two cards he has drawn so far are so good that they are worthy of his all-in bet. For example, the first card is 10, and the second card is j/q/k, which has already become "ten and a half".

Points, then he can discard the cards, forcing those who have not reached ten and a half points to follow the bet or fold.

The second is that the cards in his hand are actually not good, and he deliberately pushes all-in to force others to follow, which is a psychological warfare.

If it is the second type, this person is simply desperate!

Xiao Lou looked up at the other person. Through the silver mask, he could only see the eyes of man No. 5.

They were a pair of narrow phoenix eyes. They had single eyelids, and the corners of their eyes were slightly raised. Their eyes were calm and unruffled, as if they were not at a life-and-death card table in a secret room world, but a few good buddies gathered together in boredom, drinking, singing, and chatting.

Ktv card table for playing cards.

No. 5 went all-in, and the air in the room seemed to be sucked out instantly, and a sense of tension and oppression suddenly lingered around.

Girl No. 2 rolled her eyes uneasily. Yu Hanjiang, No. 3, sat there and watched the changes. Xiao Lou and the curly-haired woman No. 4, who were still following the bet, immediately tensed up.

Gatekeeper: "No. 6, please choose."

Fat Man No. 6: "Discard."

Girl No. 7 with high ponytail: "Discard."

Gatekeeper: "In the third round of card dealing, please choose number 1."

Xiao Lou asked for a card, the 4 of spades.

The cards he currently has in his hand are 2, 3, and 4, which add up to 9 points. He can use the transport beads to get five small points or 10 and a half points. But if he follows the bet, the amount of the follow-up bet cannot be lower than that of the previous player -

—Since No. 5 is all-in, he must go all-in if he wants to follow the bet.

Gambling your life with No. 5? There is no need. Xiao Lou said simply: "Fold."

The curly-haired woman No. 4 also threw the cards on the table: "Discard."

No. 5 is so crazy, she doesn't want to fight with him.

Xiao Lou had a strange intuition - at this time, the face of man No. 5, covered by the mask, should be full of smiles.

Since numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 all folded, number 5 automatically became the winner of the first round.

The gatekeeper revealed his cards.

A club 7 and a club 2 add up to 9.

His cards are not good at all. In another round, it is very likely that his cards will be busted after 10:30.

Everyone: "..."

Fuck me!

Everyone is probably swearing in their hearts.

Your cards are so bad, you dare to go all-in, man, are you bluffing us?!

However, when the man pushed all the gold coins into the prize pool just now, his movements were extremely crisp, his voice was calm, and his eyes were calm. Everyone was convinced that his cards were particularly good, most likely a 10 and a j/q.

/k, it’s already half past ten.

As a result, there was a 7 and a 2, which added up to 9 points. This hand was worse than several people who had discarded their cards!

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang exchanged a look.

There is no doubt that they encountered very bold gamblers.

Xiao Lou rarely plays poker games, but he knows that there are many professional casinos in Macau, and Las Vegas is a place where gambling gods from all over the world gather. It is common to bet tens of millions in a game.

To play the poker game, you don't have to be good at poker. You can still beat your opponent to death if you know how to play psychological warfare.

Number 5's psychological warfare was very smooth. In the first game, he went all-in, forcing everyone to fold. He won 9,000 gold coins and held 18,000 gold coins. He instantly became the biggest tycoon in the game.

Next, as long as he doesn't be too promiscuous, no matter how he plays, he won't lose all his gold coins and be eliminated and go to the nightmare chamber to receive punishment.

If he accurately calculates the chips in other people's hands and raises the bet, other people will fall into an extremely passive situation.

The scariest thing about the Plum Blossom Chamber of Secrets is not the rules of the game - but the uncontrollable opponents.

***

The gatekeeper began to reshuffle the cards: "For the second game, please prepare."

Xiao Lou sat up straight and kept his mind absolutely clear.

Each person has another 1,000 gold coins that are forced to bet into the prize pool in the middle of the table. The fewer gold coins in their hands, the more nervous everyone will be. If Xiao Lou's estimate is correct, there should be many people using the transfer beads in this round.

After the gatekeeper dealt out the first round of cards, he looked at the thin girl: "In the second round, the cards will be dealt starting from No. 2 - No. 2, please choose."

The girl in position 2 was trembling with fear and said in a crying voice: "Discard." Her cards exploded again. The first card was an 8, the second card was a 5, and the number of points exceeded ten and a half. Her luck was really bad.

No. 3 Yu Hanjiang did not fold this time, but chose to raise: "raise 1000."

The curly-haired woman No. 4 had an 8 and a 7, and it was past ten and a half, so she had to fold her cards.

It's No. 5's turn.
