sickness

After the winter solstice, the sky clears up in Haicheng, and the sunny days always seem not so cold.The next day, Saturday, was Christmas again. This Friday afternoon was already full of festive atmosphere. There were signs reading "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year's Day" all the way outside, and people came out to play everywhere. The peak starts at noon.

The project opened at four o'clock this afternoon, and Liang Tian was very active. He called early in the morning and said that he was anxiously waiting, and the closer it got, the harder it would be.Lin Bochuan told him not to worry, they had a good chance of winning, but Liang Tian still said that it would be a torment to just do this and wait, it would be better to set up a game of cards, and the time would pass faster if everyone waited while playing.

"I don't know how to play cards, what do you want me to do?" Zang Bai asked while sitting in the car for the appointment.

Liu Ran went back to Haicheng for New Year's Day, and asked Zang Bai to go out to play in the morning. Of course, he couldn't go to the appointment alone, but I don't know if Liang Tian will call him today.A few days ago, Lin Bochuan deliberately mentioned this matter. Zang Bai actually didn't quite understand his intentions, and he always felt that it was a bit far-fetched for Lin Bochuan to be unhappy because the gossip about them was bad for the Lin family's reputation.

According to Zang Bai's understanding, Liang Tian should not be such a careless person.But in case, he didn't want to make Lin Bochuan angry again.

"It's all planned by you, don't you want to see the answer when it's revealed?"

"I can watch it without going to Liang Tian's place."

Lin Bochuan looked at Zang Bai carefully for a while: "Why do you feel that you are a little anxious, don't you often eat together? Is it because I am worried that Liang Tian called someone named Liu, and you two will be exposed in front of me?"

"..." Whether this person knows telepathy, or can pinch and count, he is really convinced.

"What do you want me to reveal?"

"Besides, as long as I don't get exposed in the media, it's none of your business to be exposed. You can be jealous of everything, like a middle school student." Zang Bai mocked deliberately.

Lin Bochuan hummed twice: "You are really confident in yourself."

When he arrived at the place, Zang Bai heaved a sigh of relief. Liang Tian didn't call Liu Ran, nor did he call anyone else, except Xie Yifeng.

Zang Bai was busy bidding with Lin Bochuan during this time, and he hadn't seen Xie Yifeng for some days.When we met this time, I found that his dreadlocks had been cut off, his hair was dyed back to black, he was wearing nothing on his ears, and he was wearing a short down jacket and slim-fit jeans.Zang Bai found out that he was quite tall, but after changing into this attire, he was still a serious and handsome guy.

After saying hello, Liang Tian complained that they came so slowly.

Zang Bai explained: "On Christmas Eve tonight, there are traffic jams everywhere."

"No wonder, look at my brain. After being single for a long time, I can't remember the holidays at all." Zang Bai and Lin Bochuan led them to the poker table, "How will you couple celebrate the holiday tomorrow?"

Zang Bai smiled: "This kind of festival is celebrated by young lovers, we can't do it long ago."

"That's not the way to say it. Life needs to be full of surprises to be fresh." Liang Tian looked at Xie Yifeng, "Yifeng, you're right."

Lin Bochuan grabbed a handful of colorful chips from the poker table, and asked directly, "What are you going to play?"

"I don't care, brother Lin, you can say whatever you want."

Lin Bochuan glanced at Zang Bai, intending to give in to him, but Zang Bai waved his hand: "I won't, I'll watch you guys play."

"Look at how boring we are playing, find someone who can learn it quickly, and let Brother Lin teach you."

"Then play Texas Hold'em." Lin Bochuan took the poker cards on the table, scattered them, and said to Zang Bai, "It's very simple, and you should be able to learn it."

Zang Bai inexplicably felt that his IQ was being despised.

Lin Bochuan briefly explained the rules to Zang Bai. In short, each player has two hole cards at the beginning, and then the croupier will deal another five public cards in three rounds. Pick three cards, plus two cards in your own hand, to form a deck, and then use this card to compare the size.

The order of the size of the cards is a straight flush, four cards plus one, three cards plus a pair, flush, straight, three cards plus two singles, two pairs plus one single, one pair plus three singles, and a high card.

"Have you remembered the basic rules?" Lin Bochuan asked.

Zang Bai almost wanted to roll his eyes: "Remember~remember~Ms. Lin."

Hua Xiaohao, who came with him, couldn't help laughing first, everyone who saw Lin Bochuan laughed first, Xie Yifeng and Liang Tian also started laughing.

Lin Bochuan glanced at Zang Bai, a little embarrassed.

"You two have such a good relationship." Liang Tian said enviously.

Lin Bochuan pretended not to hear, and coughed lightly: "How to bet, let's play together and find out."

Liang Tian called the waiter and asked them to find a croupier to deal the cards, but Lin Bochuan stopped him. He pointed to Hua Xiaohao: "You guys can play casually, let Xiaohao deal the cards, it's easy to talk .”

Liang Tian said yes, and only asked the waiter to bring in some food and drink.

Before the cards are dealt, each player places a blind bet.Zang Bai picked up the smallest chip with the number 1 and threw it in the middle of the card pool.Curious about the unit behind the number, he asked, "How much does this represent?"

"How much can there be? Just play a few hands and play to your heart's content." Liang Tianxia placed two bets, he was the big blind, and one was the small blind.

Hua Xiaohao dealt two cards to one person, and the big blind who spoke first was Xie Yifeng.He looked at his cards and raised to five.Then came Lin Bochuan, and 5 followed suit.Zang Bai turned over his two cards, a 5 of spades and a 4 of clubs, which were not good cards no matter how they looked at them, so he chose not to follow.

Liang Tian was also surprised: "Hey, you folded before the flop was dealt." As he said that, he didn't even look at the two cards in his hand, and called 5 directly.

Next, Hua Xiaohao flopped three cards at once.It was time for Xie Yifeng to place a bet again, and he immediately increased the bet to 20. Zang Bai thought to himself, the three cards in this person's hand and the newly dealt must be a big card.

Then Lin Bochuan folded, followed by Liang Tian, ​​and Xie Yifeng won the card pool.

"What card did you get?" Zang Bai was curious.

Xie Yifeng smiled: "This can't tell you that if you want to see your opponent's cards, you have to bet and turn."

Zang Bai played a few hands, but it was difficult to get good cards, they were all small players who could not be played, so he threw them all away.Until one hand, he called a 20 bet for one round and then folded. Lin Bochuan, Xie Yifeng and Liang Tian made a 20 bet for two rounds. When the last card was dealt, Lin Bochuan suddenly allin.

Zang Bai did some calculations, and the total of all the chips was 200. Lin Bochuan even won a little bit, and his total chips were almost 300.

Liang Tian and Xie Yifeng looked at each other, Liang Tian suddenly asked: "Do you believe him?"

Liang Tian said thoughtfully: "In the previous two rounds, he didn't raise, but just called. This sudden allin, it's hard not to suspect that he's cheating."

"Cheating?" Zang Bai asked.

"It's obviously a small card, but it makes people think he's a big card." Xie Yifeng explained, "But it may also be fishing. It's a big card, but we didn't raise in the first two rounds. Let's rest assured and use it as the funds of the card pool Enough, people who have followed are more inclined to allin with him, so that he can win more."

Liang Tian asked, "Do you believe him?"

Xie Yifeng looked at Lin Bochuan. He didn't have any expression on his face. If he sat at the poker table, he didn't have any expression on his face. He also raised and folded cards irregularly. People who often play poker will know that his type is very difficult. do.In the final analysis, when playing this kind of cards, besides being very lucky, you will win if you can get a big card with an average probability above, and most of the time you play psychological strategies.

Xie Yifeng smiled: "Boss Lin looks so reliable, of course I trust him." He discarded the cards while speaking.

"But I just don't believe it." Liang Tian also allin.

As soon as the cards were turned, Lin Bochuan had a pair of threes, and Liang Tian had A as the highest high card.Lin Bochuan pocketed all Liang Tian's bargaining chips: "Mr. Liang, you're welcome."

Liang Tian only smiled wryly.

Zang Bai turned over the cards he discarded: "I threw away all 8s, but you are allin with 3s, you are crazy."

Xie Yifeng echoed: "Yeah, you guys are too deceitful to play cards, just bully us honest people."

Zang Bai turned over Xie Yifeng's cards and combined them with the five cards in the card pool. The biggest one was 10. With this bad card, he followed the 20 bet for two rounds.He asked incredulously, "Are you an honest man?"

Xie Yifeng laughed loudly: "I am wronged for you."

Zang Bai bit his lip and wrinkled the bridge of his nose.

Liang Tian laughed again: "If you want to blame, blame your husband, he is the most dishonest."

Seeing Zang Bai's sullen look, Lin Bochuan smiled for the first time tonight.

Zang Bai was really furious, he worked hard to improve, lowered the standard of good cards, and even dared to follow the pair to the end.Sure enough, after a while, he lost everything.He spread his hands together: "It's over, let's stop playing."

"Where is the loss? It's just left handed and right handed. It's all at your husband's place."

Zang Bai glanced at the hill of chips piled up in front of Lin Bochuan.Lin Bochuan didn't beat him, for some reason he was always caught by Xie Yifeng and Liang Tian.Because he lost everything, Liang Tian, ​​who was the first allin to lose everything, has now won back a lot.

"Keep going, Mr. Zang quickly place a bet. Let Mr. Lin help you play this hand for the time being. Anyway, he has won so much."

Zang Bai was a little unconvinced, but he couldn't hold back his face if he asked Lin Bochuan for bargaining chips.He was thinking whether to let Xie Yifeng lend him 10, maybe it would be like Liang Tian's return.

He was in a dilemma, and Lin Bochuan suddenly stood up: "I won't play anymore, you come to my place."

"It's okay, you two are a family. I even suspect that you two have some secret code. Seeing that you lost everything, Brother Lin is killing everyone."

"As far as his level is concerned, he won't be able to learn even if you let him cheat." Lin Bochuan said tolerantly, and put Zang Bai in his place.

He asked Zang Bai to help him play, but Lin Bochuan didn't go away, but sat behind Zang Bai.

A new round started, Hua Xiaohao dealt them hole cards.Zang Bai stretched out his hand to get the cards, Lin Bochuan suddenly pressed his hand, and before he looked at the cards, he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't give up when you see the cards, I'll teach you how to beat them."

As he approached, Lin Bochuan's breath diffused over, and Zang Bai smelled the cold cologne on his body again.And his words penetrated into Zang Bai's ears, like someone was sweeping with a cotton ball, goose bumps rose on the back of Zang Bai's neck.

I don't know when it started, he was no longer afraid of Lin Bochuan's approach, but he still felt strange and had goose bumps, but these goose bumps seemed to be brought up by a slight electric current, which made him feel numb for a while.
