In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 126 Gambling Dog

"Let's go for another lap!"

Honestly, if it's purely by luck and there's no manipulation involved, a straight of the same suit is already considered a pretty strong hand.

It's normal for a young person to not be able to open the car after a few rounds if they get this card.

Moreover, this young man is currently winning money, so he is very confident. He has won three rounds in a row without losing.

At this moment, there was 94 yuan on the table.

Of this, 4 yuan is the base amount, and the other 90 yuan is an additional amount.

"You guys are too strong, you guys are too strong, I'm retreating, I'm retreating!"

In the fourth lap, the young man still didn't reveal his hand. The middle-aged man who had hesitated before hesitated for a while and then chose to run away. Only the other middle-aged man was left. After following for three more laps, he finally chose to reveal his hand.

At this moment, the money on the table has accumulated to 154 yuan.

154, in this day and age, is already a month's or even two months' salary for many people. After the middle-aged man chose to reveal his cards, the two began to show their hands.

The young man's hand is a straight of the same suit, 678, while the middle-aged man's hand is a straight of QKA.

The middle-aged man's straight is large, but it's not the same color.

According to the rules of Central Plains Province, a straight plus the same suit is greater than QKA.

"Haha, bro, you have a pretty good hand. You would have won in any other hand."

"But I was luckier; it just happens to be a little bigger than yours."

"Give it to me, hahaha!"

Upon seeing the ending, the young man laughed and grabbed the money in front of him. He then took out another dollar and placed it on the table.

"Come on, come on, again."

Seeing the young man win money, Ye Yuqing looked at Lin Yifeng with suspicion.

Wasn't the plan to set up a game where the young people would lose? How come they won money?

Lin Yifeng didn't explain, but said with a smile, "It's starting."

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore. I've already lost 300 yuan, two months' salary."

The middle-aged man who played against the young man at the end of the last round waved his hand and said he didn't want to play anymore and was leaving.

Seeing him like this, the young man immediately advised, "Hey, hey, bro, play a little longer, bro."

"I'm really not playing anymore. If I keep playing, I'll lose my entire savings."

"Brother, you were just a little unlucky. If I hadn't had the same color last round, you would have eaten me."

"Your luck might come again next time."

"Besides, bro, three hundred dollars isn't enough to gamble away your entire life savings. If you said three thousand, I'd believe you, but three hundred is definitely not enough!"

The young man tried to persuade the middle-aged man, and another middle-aged man chimed in, "That's right, three hundred yuan is really not worth it. If you're lucky, it'll only be a matter of one or two rounds."

"this...."

"I only have 200 left. If I lose, I'll quit and never play again."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then finally took out another 200 yuan and put it on the table. Upon seeing this, the young man laughed and started shuffling the cards.

Ye Yuqing's gaze then shifted to Lin Yifeng, as if asking the young man if he could be tricked while shuffling the deck.

Lin Yifeng remained silent and smiled, letting Ye Yuqing continue watching.

In poker, if you want to cheat, you don't even need to lift a finger.

The young man thought he was dominating the game, so much so that the middle-aged man on the other side was afraid to play.

In fact, he has already fallen into a trap, and it's not impossible that he has lost all his money and even incurred high-interest debt.

Don't say that you should back out as soon as you lose this round.

A gambler is a gambler.

If you can extricate yourself from the situation in time, that's not gambling, that's entertainment.

The young man shuffled the cards and placed them on the table. Just as he was about to deal the cards, the middle-aged man who had lost the previous round stopped him.

"I'm having such bad luck. Let me wash my hands and try again."

"Okay, bro, you wash, you wash!"

The young man casually handed the cards to the middle-aged man opposite him, who shuffled them seven or eight times in the most basic way.

Lin Yifeng's gaze fell on the middle-aged man's hands. While shuffling the cards, the middle-aged man skillfully picked out nine cards and placed them in his palm. Then, with his shuffling motion, he mixed these nine cards back into the deck.

This was pure shuffling technique; Lin Yifeng didn't need to look to know that the nine cards the middle-aged man picked out directly determined the young man's fate.

"bring it on!"

The middle-aged man slammed the cards on the table, making a loud bang.

"I refuse to believe it!"

The middle-aged man gestured for the young man to start drawing cards. The young man rubbed his hands together and began to draw cards.

There were many onlookers around. The middle-aged man shuffling the cards was still dealing and looking at his cards normally, while another middle-aged man on the other side didn't even look at his cards.

Texas Hold'em, face down!

I'll bet on it!

In Central China, not looking at the cards is called "boring".

Those who play with hidden cards only need to pay half the money.

Of the four people, the young man, the old man, and the middle-aged man who shuffled the cards all have their cards revealed.

Only the other middle-aged man is the hidden card.

"Ouch!"

"I knew I'd be bored too."

The young man's first card was a Jack, and his second card was also a Jack.

After seeing the second card, he sat up straight, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, anticipating the arrival of the third card.

When the young man drew the third card, he didn't look at it directly. Instead, he carefully rubbed the card, revealing its value little by little.

He moved slowly and sat very upright. Lin Yifeng shook his head slightly when he saw him like this.

This young man won't win even if the other side doesn't set a trap.

The game of Texas Hold'em is all about mental fortitude, facial expressions, and subconscious body movements.
