Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 288 Dare to Play Without Limits!
"Play, of course we have to play."

With such a beautiful woman before him, Huang Kui couldn't be happier. He had plenty of money, while this silly kid only had a few hundred thousand. How could he possibly play with him?

In games like Baccarat and Texas Hold'em, the player with the larger stake has a natural advantage; conversely, the less money you have, the harder it is to play against a large stake.

Those who have money and confidence will follow your lead no matter what you say. On the contrary, those with less money can only play a game of cat and mouse with the other party. With just a few moves, the other party can force you into a corner with no way out.

You either have to fight the opponent head-on or fold and give them money. But if you already have a small stake, how can you play if you fold?
Huang Kui was overjoyed to see that Li Jiayuan only had a few hundred thousand chips on the table, and he was thinking about how to win all of Li Jiayuan's chips.

He wanted to personally kill this rival in front of Jiang Yun. He knew that Jiang Yun must have feelings for Li Jiayuan, otherwise she wouldn't have been down there just now.

Jiang Yun wouldn't say that he was her boyfriend, which must be related to Li Jiayuan.

Huang Kui was initially quite bothered by the ring, but when he saw the ring on Li Jiayuan's hand, he became less nervous. How could a married man compete with him for it?

Jiang Yun is such a proud woman that she might not be able to accept it even if she were divorced, let alone if she were still in a marriage.

So he didn't need to worry at all, but he was still very unhappy. Jiang Yun, whom he had pursued for so long but hadn't won over, actually had feelings for some unknown brat.

This feeling is like smearing shit on your own mouth; it's hard to accept.

"Let's open the cards."

Huang Kui, Zheng Youling, Li Jiayuan, and a passerby formed a card game.

The rules of Texas Hold'em are the same as those of Baccarat, only the gameplay is different.

Both Texas Hold'em and other card games use five cards. In Texas Hold'em, you have two cards of your own, plus any three community cards to form a five-card hand. The player with the highest-ranking hand wins.

In Baccarat, the dealer deals five cards to both sides: one face-down and four face-up. The next card is only revealed after the opponent decides whether to call or not.

As for the card rankings, they are exactly the same; the only difference is the way the cards are dealt.

In the first round, Li Jiayuan got a 3 and a King. Well, it wasn't bad, it was just okay. We'll see what happens with the community cards.

"I'll go first, a small 5."

Each round has a cap of 50,000, with Huang Kui placing the bet first.

Li Jiayuan watched calmly, and when it was his turn, he simply threw down his cards.

"I've come to Buddha's will."

Do whatever you want, I'm not going. Just give me the fare to get on the bus and that's it.

"You're so timid in the first round? Yeah, I forgot you only have so little money, not even enough to fill a tooth gap. Come on, let's play by ourselves."

Huang Kui was very happy; mocking Li Jiayuan gave him pleasure.

Laugh, but I'll make you cry in a minute.

Li Jiayuan smiled and said that in the first round, Zheng Youling won against K.

The second round is about to begin. Li Jiayuan glances at Jiang Yun behind Huang Kui, blinks, and Jiang Yun crosses her arms and coldly looks away.

Hmph, I'll see how you lose money, I'll make you lose it all!

In the second round, Li Jiayuan got a pair of Aces, but after the first round, he still received the "boarding fee".

"I've come to Buddha's will."

"Again! Are you going to play or not?"

"My hand is too weak, I dare not play."

Li Jiayuan muttered something under his breath, and everyone present looked over. His words were undoubtedly telling everyone that he was a novice.

Only novices would only play when they get good cards. Considering that he had just sat down and said he had lost more than a million, and now he was acting timidly, everyone believed him.

They directly labeled Li Jiayuan as a newcomer.

Huang Kui was even happier now. Crushing newbies was just like crushing noobs!

"I've come to Buddha's will."

"I've come to Buddha's will."

"I'm done."

For seven or eight rounds in a row, Li Jiayuan didn't play any cards, and his chips went from 60 to 50. Zheng Youling couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mr. Li, playing cards doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a good hand to play. Sometimes a little lie can lead to victory. We're playing a psychological game."

Zheng Youling's suggestion was well-intentioned, and Li Jiayuan nodded.

Li Jiayuan glanced at his own cards, then at the cards in the dealer's deck, a smile playing on his lips. That was about it.

He played so many hands just now, firstly to pretend to be stupid, and secondly to wait for the dealer to use up the four decks of cards in the deck box.

Possessing the gambling skills of a gambling god, he had already calculated almost all the cards in the deck, including those that had appeared before.

The remaining ones that haven't appeared yet already have a rough outline in his mind.

So, it's time to fight back.

So, at the start of the next round, he got a pair of cards, so when that idiot Huang Kui called for the top, he weakly shouted along as well.

"I'll follow!"

All five eyes were on him. Zheng Youling sighed, thinking, "Hey, isn't he being a little too honest? I just finished speaking and you're already saying that."

And that guilty look was so obvious; it was another free win.

Huang Kui almost burst out laughing. This idiot on the other side could see right away that he didn't have any cards at all.

"Wow, looks like we got a good hand this time."

"Come on, everyone, follow along."

The first community card turned over was a Queen. Li Jiayuan lowered his head, gave a wicked smile, and said, "It's finally about to begin."

Zheng Youling and the passerby folded, apparently because they didn't get good cards.

The game then became a two-player match, with Huang Kui continuing to raise the stakes, while Li Jiayuan continued to play cautiously.

And each time, it takes a long time to think about it.

Finally, it was time to wait for the river card. After both players called, Huang Kui flipped the card.

"I have two pairs, you drive!"

He was full of confidence, and one hand was already reaching for the chips on the table. He never thought that Li Jiayuan would have any more cards.

A hand held him down, and Li Jiayuan looked up with an innocent smile.

"Wait a minute, I haven't opened it yet."

"Sorry, there are three preserved eggs!"

When Li Jiayuan turned over the cards, Huang Kui was dumbfounded, and then watched helplessly as the more than 600,000 yuan on the table was taken away.

Li Jiayuan's secret stash of money suddenly became abundant again, now containing 800,000 yuan in gambling funds.

Huang Kui was unconvinced and spoke coldly.

"Dealing the cards"

In his view, he had been careless and had overestimated Li Jiayuan. He hadn't expected him to be so cowardly, only daring to play when he was dealt a good hand.

However, this is also his fatal weakness. He plays every card he gets, which is easy for a novice to exploit.

The dealer continued dealing cards, and Lu Yan glanced at the cards with an excited expression, which made everyone wary.

It was his turn to call at the start, and he immediately started with 50,000.

Everyone looked at their cards. The passerby silently folded, as did Huang Kui. Only Zheng Youling, whose cards looked good, chose to call and look at the second card.

As expected, Li Jiayuan won, which further solidified everyone's belief in his playing style.

Huang Kui comforted himself, thinking, "Don't worry, this silly kid doesn't know anything and is just relying on luck. If we stay calm, we can win."

In the following rounds, Li Jiayuan seemed to be on a roll, getting good hands every time, which scared everyone else away from following suit.

Li Jiayuan won several hands by using bluffing tactics. If no one followed him to the end and they all chose to fold, then Li Jiayuan's hand could remain unrevealed.

So nobody knows what card he actually plays.

Huang Kui was furious. "Damn it, is this kid really that lucky?"

A winning hand every time? At this rate, when will you ever win all his money?!
Seeing the increasing amount of chips accumulating in Li Jiayuan's possession, Huang Kui had a bold idea.

"I'm not playing anymore, this kind of game is no fun. Let's play without limits."

"Do you dare?!"
