Chapter 365: Pretty Girls Don't Have Bad Luck (Part 2)

~15 min read 2,811 words

"I raise, 3 million!" Seifert rested his left hand on the back of the chair and threw out 30 chips with his right hand, looking like he had the whole situation in his grasp.

In the seven-person poker game, only two remained now, and the others all chose to fold.

Fighting against Seifert was a thin boy with a pale complexion, who seemed to be the son of a Russian oligarch and didn't have many acquaintances on the ship.

But his card skills were quite good. He had been winning in the previous few rounds, and by calculation, he probably already had nearly 5 million in his account.

"Call 3 million." The pale-faced boy let the bunny girl beside him light a Cuban cigar, his expression very calm.

Now there were already over 10 million chips accumulated in the prize pool, and those adults around hadn't played that big yet.

"Continue betting, 3 million!" As the party holding the initiative in this round, Seifert continued to bet. If the pale-faced boy didn't want to admit defeat, he had to continue to follow.

"Call." The pale-faced boy didn't show any timidity. Whatever Seifert bet, he followed. It seemed he was going to fight him to the end.

The amount bet here had already exceeded the chips the two had when they first sat at the table. In fact, as early as the first round of raising, Seifert and the pale-faced boy had each exchanged 10 million US dollars in chips, preparing for a big fight.

After betting one more round, Seifert finally stopped.

At this time, he only had about 2 million chips left in front of him, which was considered leaving himself a way out.

The pale-faced boy didn't have many chips left in front of him either. If he lost this round, everything he won before would have to be spat out, and he would still owe more.

The two's private cards had long been dealt, and the five public cards were clearly visible. As far as the current situation was concerned, the pale-faced boy was the party with the advantage.

But everyone still had two hole cards that only they could see, so until the last moment, no one would know who was big and who was small.

"Show your cards." Seifert stopped betting, intending to end this gambling game.

Currently, his own three face-up cards were two 8s and one A.

The public card pool was 2, 6, 6, 9, A.

And the pale-faced boy's three face-up cards were two Ks and one 7.

According to the rules of Texas Hold'em, the player's own cards can be combined with the public cards, and the largest combination is taken for comparison at the showdown stage.

Currently, Seifert's largest card combination was a pair of 8s, a pair of 6s, and an A.

And the pale-faced boy's was a pair of Ks, a pair of 6s, and an A.

The pale-faced boy occupied an absolute advantage.

The pale-faced boy showed his cards first. His two hole cards were surprisingly two As, which directly formed a three-A, two-K card face, which was the largest combination in the full house card type.

In most gambling games, this situation was already considered a sure kill. The situation of a straight in "God of Gamblers" was too rare, and the dramatic effect was greater than the actual possibility.

However, for such a big card face, Seifert smiled after seeing it clearly: "To be honest, I was really worried that your hole cards were two Ks. Fortunately, how could anyone have such good luck."

As he spoke, he flipped over his hole cards with a "slap," and it was actually a pair of 6s!

"Wooo!"

The gamblers around all let out surprised shouts. Someone actually managed to get four of a kind!

There was a pair of 6s in the public cards, and Seifert's hole cards were also a pair of 6s. In this way, his largest card face became four 6s. Any four of a kind was larger than any full house. This round was Seifert laughing until the end.

"It seems my luck with cards is not good today." The pale-faced boy shook his head and smiled, seemingly not taking the 10 million plus US dollars he lost to heart.

But he didn't stay at this table either. After exchanging chips, he went to other tables to change his feng shui.

"See that? My nickname as the Texas God of Gamblers is not called for nothing." Seifert hugged the vast number of chips in his arms, beaming with joy.

This round really won him numb. What he lost in the afternoon was all won back now, and at the same time, it also hit Miss Luo Quan's arrogant spirit.

And Miss Luo Quan also developed some interest in Texas Hold'em at this time, feeling that this thing was a bit more fun than Pachinko, as it tested both technology and luck.

However, this 10 million chip game ended, and other young gamblers seemed to be a bit scared, all ordering a glass of wine and going to the rest area to suppress their shock. There was no game to participate in for the time being.

Seifert, who won a lot of money, was also full of confidence at this time. He put the chips in a bag and swayed to the area where the adults were playing cards. Miss Luo Quan, Gao Liang, and Fred also followed.

Saying it was the adults' area, in fact, there were quite a few young people here. Like Cousin Augusta, Luo Yi, and others were all playing here. Kevin and Johnson were also there, each with a small mountain of chips piled in front of them, unable to tell who was winning or losing.

Everyone walked to the side of the game Eric was playing. Aunt Luo Ni sat beside Eric and fed him grapes. The other tycoons were also surrounded by beauties, but their clothing was very revealing, and they probably didn't have the same status as Aunt Luo Ni.

The game was also in a very scorching state at this time. Although the cards had been dealt, the game was always in a cycle of raising and calling.

Piles and piles of chips with face values as high as one million were thrown into the pot. Miss Luo Quan originally wanted to count how many there were, but as soon as she counted for a while, new chips were thrown in.

It was impossible to calculate; it was estimated that it had already exceeded 100 million!

"She can't understand the world of tycoons." Miss Luo Quan sighed in her heart. She used to think that her net worth could be called a tycoon. After all, she was also in the top ten of the Forbes celebrity wealth list under twenty.

But compared to real tycoons, her net worth was only equivalent to the chips used by others for a night of playing cards.

Finally, the amount of the raise reached the limit of the game, which was 10 million US dollars. After everyone threw out the last round of calls, they chose to show their cards.

General gambling games sometimes had situations where the card faces were the same size. At this time, the people with the same card faces would split all the chips in the pot.

This round clearly didn't have such a situation. A tycoon from South America became the final winner, exclusively enjoying the nearly 200 million US dollars of chips in the pot.

"My God, this is more profitable than robbing a bank." Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but sigh.

The South American tycoon who won the money was in a very good mood. Hearing Miss Luo Quan's sigh, he looked up and smiled: "Little girl, robbing a bank is an illegal act, but these are all my legal income."

Everyone laughed, and Miss Luo Quan scratched her head embarrassedly.

However, seeing that these people could still laugh, it was estimated that the money lost didn't affect their mood.

And on the other side, a new game began.

It was a game organized by Cousin Augusta. The table was full of acquaintances. Seifert had just won a big round, and at this time, he was also excitedly pulling everyone over, wanting to make persistent efforts.

However, Gao Liang and Fred were not very interested in playing cards themselves. Just now they accompanied Seifert to play a few rounds, and their 100,000 chips had already been lost seven or eight out of ten. If they wanted to come, they had to buy chips with their own money, so they refused Augusta's invitation and chose to watch from the sidelines.

"Cousin, do you want to play a few rounds?" Augusta asked with a smile.

Miss Luo Quan held up a finger: "But I only have 10,000 chips."

"Come on, if you don't have enough chips, I'll lend them to you." Luo Yi was very enthusiastic, but unfortunately, his pattern was a bit small.

Johnson said atmospherically: "What's the point of lending or not? Your chips are covered by me. If you win, it's yours!"

"Then how embarrassing. I can still exchange for more than 90,000 chips, which should be enough to play a round." Miss Luo Quan said, asking the waiter to bring all the chips she had left.

She basically hadn't moved the 100,000 chips Auben gave to the guests, plus the chips she won from playing Pachinko just now, she now had 110,000 chips.

If it were an ordinary game, this would be enough to play two or three rounds. It was just that she didn't know how big Cousin Augusta and the others were playing.

Under the warm invitation, Miss Luo Quan also sat in the chair, wanting to play a round.

In fact, whether it was Pachinko or the current Texas Hold'em, Miss Luo Quan didn't participate with the intention of winning money, but simply out of curiosity about these activities and wanting to try them out.

As for technology, she could exchange it in the mall, but there was no need for this.

Card playing technology was indeed very important, but compared to it, luck was the key. Miss Luo Quan felt that her luck had always been not bad. If she changed technology again, it would be too much of a lack of game experience.

The game started. Sitting at the card table were Miss Luo Quan, Seifert, Augusta, Luo Yi, Kevin, Johnson, and two other gamblers she didn't know.

Those two gamblers looked older and had been wandering around the casino before. No one greeted them, and no one knew whose friends they were. Seeing that there was a game here at Augusta's, they wanted to participate.

Augusta was quite hospitable and didn't refuse these two strangers.

To take care of Miss Luo Quan, everyone's first round of betting was relatively small, the purpose being to make it convenient for Miss Luo Quan to decide whether to fold after seeing the hole cards and public cards.

If she folded, she wouldn't lose too much.

However, Miss Luo Quan had just started playing, and her card luck wasn't particularly good. Every time she looked at the hole cards, her card face was relatively small, and every time it was her turn to speak, she would fold in a dejected manner.

While other gamblers at the gambling table were going back and forth, various raises and calls, the final pot of each round of cards could reach around one million.

At the beginning, everyone could have wins and losses, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

But after six or seven rounds, the balance of victory began to tilt completely toward those two strange gamblers. One person had just finished adding a big bet, and the other would quickly fold, and the final result was often that the person who raised had the largest card.

Such a situation continued to cycle in the subsequent games. These two seemed to be tacitly cooperating, winning away the chips of others at the card table round after round.

The key was that these two also knew the way of boiling a frog in warm water. Every time they raised, they wouldn't raise to a particularly outrageous number, making Augusta and others not easily fold, and always being defeated at the showdown stage after calling for a few rounds.

After a few rounds, these two had won at least tens of millions each.

"5 million US dollars!" Augusta called again. Although his tone was still calm, his complexion was clearly a bit ugly.

The game he organized, it didn't matter how his friends won or lost, no one would hurt their feelings for this little money.

As a result, it was all won away by these two outsiders, and it felt like these two were still cooperating with each other, which made him a bit unhappy.

In this new round, others chose to fold early. Only his card face was not bad. This time he wanted to fight these two outsiders to the end.

It wasn't that he wanted to win money, just simply wanted to fight for a breath.

However, temper couldn't be converted into card luck. At the showdown stage, everyone flipped over their hole cards to compare, and Augusta lost again.

At this time, Kevin stood up and sneered: "I didn't recognize it before, but I just checked my phone and found out that the two of you are actually the top four players in the International Texas Hold'em Tournament.

Why don't you experts go play with those adults and run over to play with young people?"

One of the gamblers with a small mustache laughed: "Everyone is an adult, what's the difference between young and not young?

Once you are at the gambling table, you can compare technology, luck, and financial resources, but the only thing you can't compare is age. Since you are willing to bet, you must be willing to lose."

Another suit-wearing man with a top hat also laughed: "However, if you can't afford to lose, you can say so, and we will leave immediately."

"Who said I can't afford to lose?!" Johnson slapped the table, "Come again!"

Most young people were hot-blooded, and those sitting here were used to being arrogant. How could they endure such mockery?

Losing money didn't matter, but being looked down upon by others was even more uncomfortable than slapping their faces.

"Happy to accompany." The two professional card players were naturally very happy to see such a situation, and they all thought in their hearts that young people were indeed too impulsive and would explode as soon as they were provoked.

The game continued, and from this round on, Augusta directly canceled the betting limit, clearly intending to either succeed or become benevolent this time!

Miss Luo Quan had been an outsider for more than a dozen rounds, completely in a state of confusion, and for more than a dozen rounds, her card face was ridiculously small, and she folded in the first round every time.

This was her last 1,000 chips. Miss Luo Quan threw them all in, intending to leave after losing.

After the two hole cards and three public cards were dealt, Miss Luo Quan rubbed her hands, thinking that a person couldn't be so unlucky to this extent. After folding so many times, it was time for her luck to turn.

After uncovering it, eh, it seemed okay, an A and a K!

It was the largest hole card in more than a dozen rounds, and the public cards were two Ks and a Q. She had three Ks from the start!

Although she wasn't particularly familiar with the rules of Texas Hold'em, such a card face should be considered very large.

As long as she or the public cards came with another K later, then she would be four Ks, a very stable card!

"According to convention, ladies first." The mustached man pretended to be a gentleman and let Miss Luo Quan speak first, but he didn't take her seriously at all in his heart.

Originally, everyone thought Miss Luo Quan would fold like before, but unexpectedly, this time she stood up and grabbed ten chips with a face value of 100,000 from Seifert: "Lend them to me, I'll return them to you later."

After speaking, she threw a 100,000 chip into the pot: "In this round, I want to raise."
