Chapter 78 Texas

Chapter 78 Texas
Texas Hold'em is currently the most popular card game in the world.

It has a short history and was invented by a group of bored Texas cowboys on a ranch in Robbies.

Compared with traditional probability games, Texas Hold'em tests strategy and psychological quality more.

Even professional poker players cannot guarantee a win in a single game, but professional strategies can ensure their long-term profits.

At this time, Leon and Phil appeared quietly behind Mars, and the other party didn't notice at all.

The standard table for ten people was already full, surrounded by frenzied gamblers who all wanted to make a killing from this mysterious and wealthy little man.

The dealer deals two hidden cards to each player.

Mars kept muttering: "Hallelujah. Hallelujah"

Snapped--

Only a little bit of the cards were exposed, and he quickly covered them up, pretending to be calm and quickly scanning everyone at the table.

Phil couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "This idiot has his card strength written all over his face. The only people still hanging around in Atlantic City are veteran gamblers! In their eyes, this kid is just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

Li Ang glanced at the other person: You know so much, why did you lose everything in the stock market?
Isn’t the stock market also an alternative and legal casino?
Mars, who was in the under-the-gun position, chose to flat-call the bet from the big blind.

The player who came to the Guansha position had already raised the bet to 10,000 US dollars, and was immediately raised again by the player in the dealer position.

The raise is huge, fifty thousand dollars!

At this point the pot has reached $68000.

"No matter how stupid this guy is, he should fold."

Phil carefully analyzed the situation at the table based on his experience. If Mars had a hand, he would not flat call the big blind.

The surprised look on his face when he looked at his cards was just bluffing.

Li Ang shook his head. "That's not necessarily true."

"Why? You think you know more about Texas than me?"

"No, I just think that if Mars played according to his normal routine, he would not lose a million dollars in two hours."

Fei'er was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about these words carefully, she found that they made some sense.

Mars soon slapped him in the face with his actions. When other positions chose to fold, he resolutely followed the bet of 50,000 dollars.

This operation made Phil laugh.

If Mars has a hand and wants to ambush a wave, he should choose to re-raise after the button raises and take full value before the three flop cards are exposed.

If he has no cards, he should not gamble on the probability after the flop in the face of such a big pot. The risk and reward are not proportional.

Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if Mars chose this style of play.

In the world of Texas Hold'em, even the most professional masters are afraid of meeting a boss who is not short of money.

No matter what card you have, I have to see the last one!
Use your money power to defeat your strategy.

Sports stars and singers are exactly this kind of people
The three cards that came up were the 4, 7, and 10 of various colors, with no high cards, making for a rather boring board.
Everyone expected both players to check, but Mars took action.

In a pot of nearly $12, he directly bet half the pot for $6, but was firmly called by the middle-aged man in the dealer position.

"This guy is not going straight, right? It's stupid to play like this."

Phil shook his head repeatedly when he saw it. Even a dog would shake its head when seeing this card play.

The turn card reveals a 2, which is the same suit as the 10, making a flush draw.

But no one would speculate that the opponent's hand strength is a flush, and a pure flush draw should be discarded on the flop.

Mars didn't seem nervous at all at this time. He hummed the beat of funk music and swayed his body.

Snapped--

He continued to bet half the pot, a full $12. Looking at the distorted expression of his opponent, Mars twisted his body even more.

“Oh yes~”

"Surrender, baby~ You are my prey tonight, don't resist~"

The player sitting opposite thought carefully for half a minute, then threw out his chips and placed his bet.

Now it was Mars' turn to be dumbfounded. He kept looking at his own cards and kept looking at the table.
Li Ang took a glass of whiskey from the waiter and took a sip, then asked with a smile, "What brand do you think Mars will be now?"

Phil had a constipated expression on his face. "Only God knows what cards this damn Hawaiian bastard has."

The final river card is the King of Diamonds.

There is no flush on the board. Logically speaking, no matter what cards you hold, you should not continue to attack as long as they are not NUTS (the largest possible combination of cards on the board).

But Mars is different.

He gritted his teeth and pushed out all the chips in front of him, "I'm all in!"

If the previous conflicted expressions of the opposing players were just acting, now they were truly putting on the masks of pain.

Mars directly pushed out the remaining $50 chips, shocking the audience!
The poker player's face was covered with sweat, and he kept muttering: "Son of a bitch. You son of a bitch!"

Mars slapped his thigh excitedly, quickly lit a leaf, and said to the man who looked like an assistant beside him, "Look at this bastard! Doesn't his frightened expression resemble the expression Chris had when that black woman pointed a gun at him in Los Angeles?!"

Unexpectedly, the scene where Chris was threatened by Cardi B during the "Los Angeles nightclub conflict" has become a well-known meme.

After a long wait of ten minutes, the two players had used up all their time cards.

Mars put his feet up on the table and said smugly, "Can you hurry up, bastard?"

"Shxt! If you were any slower, your wife and I would have already given birth to the child~"

Hahaha--

The scene erupted in laughter, and the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Finally, under the stern warning of the dealer, the opponent chose to follow suit and went ALL IN with his only remaining $100,000.

Both players open their cards. The opponent's hole cards are a pair of tens, which together with the face of the card form three tens.

Everyone was certain that Mars's trump card would be a pair of kings, but the result was surprising.

He had pocket aces but chose to slow play pre-flop.
Anyone who has played Texas Hold'em knows that there are ten thousand different ways to die when slow-playing AA.
Phil couldn't help but curse: "WTF, this bastard is really here to give away money!"

"Even if he wins a Grammy in the future, he can't stand this kind of torture!"

These words immediately caught Mars' attention. He turned around and saw Leon.

Both of them are currently popular supernovas who are regularly featured on Billboard and they quickly recognized each other.

"Are you Leon Smith? Cardi B's boss?"

"Yes, Mr. Mars, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Shh don't yell my name so loudly, I don't want anyone to recognize me."

After saying that, Mars stood up and took Leon aside: "I thought you left after the performance just now."

"Shxt no one knew my itinerary, and you bumped into me here."

"I had bad luck in Las Vegas and wanted to try my luck in Atlantic City, and you saw what happened."

Li Ang didn't know what to say and could only spread his hands helplessly.

Minor offenses like taking drugs and throwing parties are unlikely to bankrupt a singer, but gambling can easily do that.

The words were just on the tip of his tongue when Mars invited him, "Want to play a few games?"
