What would you do if you suddenly gained Superman's powers?
Beat up Batman first?
But there's no Batman in the real world!
"First, I have to ensure my own safety."...
The beautiful dealer was dealing cards in real life, and what kind of garbage cards did she give him?
A 6 of hearts and a 9 of clubs are completely unmatched hands; the best hand is four 9s.
But it's impossible for him to fold and admit defeat immediately.
When playing cards, card combinations are one aspect, but another aspect is about human nature.
If you go all in when you have a good hand and fold when you don't, you're destined to not earn many chips, and you might even end up losing money.
The normal logic should be to prevent others from figuring out your thoughts, and then you should fry chicken when the time comes.
20.
"Call".
"Call".
The first round of calls ended quickly, with no one raising.
The three community cards were dealt quickly: the 3 of diamonds, the 7 of hearts, and the Ace of clubs.
There are only two community cards left, leaving little room for Gao Gao to maneuver.
Based on the current hand, his best hand is a straight, but not a flush.
Moreover, his hand wasn't very strong; his highest hand was only a 9, so he shouldn't have taken the risk, both morally and logically.
30.
30.
"40, add to the bet."
Gao Feng calmly and nonchalantly chose to increase his bet, his expression revealing not a trace of emotional fluctuation.
"Did Mr. Gao win again?"
This time, Zhang Youwei didn't look at his cards again. He picked up a few chips and casually tossed them onto the table.
"Call".
"Call".
It's only 40, and no one has been scared into folding yet.
The fourth community card was revealed, and it was the Queen of Hearts.
"Check".
"Check".
When it was Gao Feng's turn, without the slightest hesitation, he once again chose to go all in.
"All in."
Four cards have been played, and his hand is not very good. He cannot fold, and he absolutely cannot lose momentum, but he also cannot let others see the fifth card.
At this point, acting skills are essential.
Zhang Youwei is in a bit of a predicament. His hand is actually not bad. He has a 3 of clubs and a 7 of diamonds in his hand, which is at least two pairs. If he's lucky, he might even get a full house.
However, he was unsure what cards Gao Feng held. What if he also had two pairs?
If he has a pair of Aces, even if they are both hourglasses, the other one is still bigger.
Moreover, with the current hand, there's even a possibility of a straight, which would eliminate his full house.
Most importantly, the big windmill bet earlier had left him a little apprehensive. He wondered if he would go all in again, lose again, and then go for another spin?
Given Gao Long's preferences, what kind of antics will he come up with this time? It was the windmill just now.
The windmill is probably the easiest one. If he were to do something more difficult, how would his old back take it?
Moreover, his elated expression revealed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
There was no fear, no excitement, no surprise; only indifference and a calm, undisturbed demeanor.
I glanced at the chips on the table again. There weren't many. Before, the chips were added in tens, and there weren't as many as the chips in the first round of 100.
That's right. This kid probably felt he didn't have enough chips, only one card left. Theoretically, he wasn't the first to bet, so he could only get a small amount of chips, and there was also the risk of revealing his fifth card. So he was planning to go for a big hand.
"Fold".
Zhang Youwei chose to fold and turned his attention to Liu Guangqi. Old Liu, you'd better step up your game!
Liu Guangqi certainly received Zhang Youwei's signal, but he had to pretend he didn't see it.
You old bastard, you were really showing off with that windmill trick just now. I don't want to go up there and show off my skills at all.
Besides, there's a difference between us researchers and you business people.
"Fold".
Liu Guangqi also chose to fold.
"you……"
Zhang Youwei pointed at Liu Guangqi's nose with a look of exasperation. He didn't know what to say, mainly because Gao Ang was glaring at him.
No one lost all their chips in this round, and the game continued.
In the third round, Gao Ang received a pretty good hand.
At this point, he has two options: either increase his bet directly to reduce the number of people looking at the cards, or wait and play the long game to increase the number of chips on the table as much as possible.
The advantage of the former is that it reduces the probability of him losing all his chips, but it cannot make others lose all their chips.
The advantage of the latter is that it can minimize the other person's stakes, but the downside is that it also increases one's own risk.
Gao Ang is a steady person. Just like his previous view, living is the most important thing. Similarly, at the poker table, as long as you have more chips than others, you may be the one who laughs last.
"Add another bet, 100."
With his increased bet, Zhang Youwei, who had been betting against him, was in trouble again.
In the first hand, Gao Ao raised the bet and won; in the second hand, he went all in and won again, but we didn't see his hand.
Therefore, Zhang Youwei was unsure whether Gao Feng had good luck every time or whether he cheated in the second game.
If he steals the chicken in the second game, then there is a similar possibility in this game.
What if he didn't cheat, and the other person just had a good hand?
Besides, I just got hit by a windmill, so my strategy is a bit off. Should I fold?
"Call, 100."
Just like in the stock market, you must learn to think contrarily and not let your emotions control your judgment.
Zhang Youwei chose to call, and his hole cards were also quite good.
"Call".
"Fold".
"Call".
The other players also chose to call or fold, and no one raised their bet.
The beautiful dealer deals three community cards: the King of Clubs, the 6 of Hearts, and the King of Diamonds.
Once this trump card was revealed, the table immediately became much quieter.
Everyone who has played cards knows that the better you are dealt the cards you want, the less you should act rashly or show any unusual emotions.
100.
"Call".
"Call".
"Add another bet, 150."
When it came to Zhang Youwei, he chose to raise the stakes.
Adding just 50 is fine; adding 100 might scare some people away.
50 is reasonable. Those who want to keep looking at the cards won't be bothered by the extra 50. Those who don't want to look at the cards will see that it's 50 and won't feel hurt, so they'll probably choose to keep playing.
"Call".
"Call".
When he arrived at Gao Ang's place, he hesitated for a moment.
He didn't get the three cards he wanted; based on the current hand, he could only have two pairs at most.
However, if someone else has a pair of 6s or a King, it could be a set of three, and then he's doomed.
Looking at the chips in my hand, I realized I had significantly more than everyone else, so the extra 150 wasn't a problem.
"Call".
The fourth community card was dealt. As soon as the card was dealt, Gao Ang lit a cigarette and began to puff away.
This was the third round, and everyone had lost the initial laughter and jokes, now focusing on showing off their skills.
"Add another bet, 200."
Liu Guangqi finally made a sound.
"Call".
"Call".
This time, no one raised the bet, and the fourth community card was an Ace of Spades.
With this card played, Gao Long decided to kill the game.
Looking at the chips in front of the others, Zhang Youwei had the most.
After everyone had placed their bets, when it was Gao Feng's turn, he immediately pushed out nearly half of his chips.
The beautiful dealer counted her chips and said, "Mr. Gao has placed a bet of 800. Please speak next."
Zhang Youwei has less than 800 chips. If he wants to see the fifth card or compare cards, he must go all in.
Having come this far, and given that he has a strong hand, there is definitely a possibility of a gamble.
"All in."
"All in."
Zhang Youwei and Liu Guangqi surprisingly both chose to go all in, while the remaining players, perhaps afraid of making a fool of themselves, chose to fold.
These three unfortunate brothers are now left at the card table.
Since the other two players didn't have any extra chips, the beautiful dealer stopped asking if anyone wanted to bet and dealt the fifth community card, a 9 of clubs.
"Compare cards."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Youwei immediately revealed his cards: the King of Hearts and the Jack of Clubs.
"Mr. Zhang has three Kings. Mr. Liu, please reveal your hand."
"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, we're really best buddies, even our hand is exactly the same. Too bad, I'm a bit better than you."
Liu Guangqi laughed loudly and revealed his cards: a King and a Queen.
While the two were still bragging and joking, Gao Ang quietly revealed his hand: a pair of Aces, the Ace of Diamonds and the Ace of Hearts.
"Mr. Gao has three Aces, making him the highest-ranking player. Mr. Gao wins."
With a flick of her wrist, the beautiful dealer gathered the chips on the table back in front of Gao Gao.
Zhang Youwei and Liu Guangqi stared at each other, then looked at their empty chips in front of them, feeling utterly helpless.
Just moments ago, Liu Guangqi seemed to be in complete control, with all the chips at his fingertips, but in the blink of an eye, the situation has reversed.
"Mr. Gao, you're not going to do a breakdancing again this time, are you?"
Liu Guangqi asked cautiously. He had seen how disheveled Old Zhang had looked just now. If he had to do something like a windmill, he would rather just go into the sea.
On a hot day like this, it's better to jump in and swim a few laps than to embarrass yourself.
“Let’s play Truth or Dare,” Gao Ang said, stubbing out his cigarette, taking a sip of his juice, and gesturing for the dealer to continue distributing chips.
"However, I don't have any wicked sense of humor, I just want to ask you two a few questions."
"That's great, Mr. Gao. Please ask away. I'll answer everything I know."
Liu Guangqi waved his hand, feeling half of the weight lifted from his heart.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about me, or do you think I'm young and naive, and that's why I did this?"
Gao Yang held a few chips with a half-smile, playing with them in his hand, sometimes circling them around his finger, sometimes dropping them on the table, and then sucking them up again.
Everyone was taken aback by his serious topic. The onlookers, realizing that these people were about to have a serious talk, laughed it off and dispersed.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Youwei and the others started cursing inwardly: What's going on? Does chatting have to be this direct and straightforward?
"It was a promise, the truth."
Gao Ang tapped the table and said with a smile, making it unclear whether he was pretending to be stupid or joking.
"Mr. Gao, there's no misunderstanding between us. It's a completely mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. If it weren't for..."
Before Zhang Youwei could finish speaking, Gao Ang waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Alright, I understand. Go back and tell them I only want a share of the profits, nothing else, okay?"
"Beautiful lady, deal the cards."
The game continued, but the players had lost their initial nonchalance and ease; they were unsure what this young man was really up to.
If you say he's playing dumb, he's in control of the entire game from the very beginning; if you say he's young and impetuous, he always manages to stop in time at crucial moments, preventing the atmosphere from becoming too awkward.
"If anyone calls me a country bumpkin again, I'll beat them to death!" Zhang Youwei cursed inwardly.
"Oh no, someone's in trouble!"
Just as everyone was playing cards absentmindedly, someone suddenly rushed in and shouted.
