Yan Xiaobao glared at Brother Biao and said, "Hey! I’m betting with my wife as collateral because I’m sure to win, so it doesn’t matter. But if you dare make a move on my wife again, I’ll give you a beating!"
"Hehe." Brother Biao chuckled without saying a word. He was solely focused on winning all of Yan Xiaobao’s money and couldn’t be bothered to argue, so he gestured to his n to bring a brand new deck of cards and threw it on the gambling table, "Do you know how to shuffle?"
Shuffling is the most basic yet crucial skill in gambling. How well you shuffle largely determines the outco of the ga.
Brother Biao had the advantage of two against one, so he pretended to be generous and let Yan Xiaobao shuffle first, wanting to test his gambling skills.
Unfortunately, there are many things in this world that should not be tried carelessly; once tried, there might be no turning back...
...
Yan Xiaobao’s shuffling technique looked ordinary and wasn’t particularly fast, seemingly without any peculiarities. But in reality, during each shuffle, Yan Xiaobao was adjusting the position of each card according to his plan.
Seeing Yan Xiaobao’s shuffling technique, Brother Biao thought it looked nothing like that of a seasoned gambler with superb skills, making him even more confident in his victory, his joy barely concealed on his face.
Chen Long and Tiantian couldn’t figure out anything, but Zhao Erhu frowned deeply; this ga seed quite ominous, and he quietly started preparing for the inevitable showdown.
"Alright, cut the cards then." Yan Xiaobao placed the neatly shuffled deck onto his hand, extending it toward Brother Biao.
Brother Biao casually cut the deck, and Yan Xiaobao, after carefully weighing it with his fingers, realized: 16 cards were cut, the first being the 6 of Clubs, which was a decent card.
Yan Xiaobao first dealt three cards to himself, then dealt three cards each to Brother Biao and Dongzi in sequence. As he dealt, Yan Xiaobao already knew all of his and his opponents’ cards.
Leaving three bottom cards, the dealing was complete. Yan Xiaobao picked up his cards and spread them out, finding them exactly as he had calculated.
"According to the rules, the first round goes to the person with the 3 of Diamonds to call landlord, right?" Yan Xiaobao grinned as he waved the 3 of Diamonds in his hand and then reached out, revealing the three bottom cards.
This ant he directly doubled the stakes to seize the landlord. Earlier, the rule was set at a hundred thousand per ga, so after doubling, the stakes would be at least two hundred thousand, directly doubling again if there were bomb cards, and so on.
The revealed bottom cards were a 9, a King, and a Joker, which were quite good.
"Can the landlord be seized so casually? I’d like to see how you’re going to lose!" Brother Biao sneered with disdain. His hand was good, having three 2s and a Big Joker and barely any loose single cards. As long as he won the right to play first, he could imdiately overthrow Yan Xiaobao, the landlord.
"You’d like to see how I’m going to lose?" Yan Xiaobao chuckled, "I’d like to see how you can beat this hand?"
Yan Xiaobao played his cards one by one: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, Ace.
"Wow! A Dragon, the longest straight! Unless you have four 2s and a rocket, you can’t beat this!" Chen Long exclaid excitedly, "Since Brother Bao has doubled for the landlord, he can’t have no 2s at all in his hand, and there’s a Joker in the exposed bottom cards, which ans the opponent can’t have four 2s and a rocket, making this hand unbeatable."
Brother Biao and Dongzi tapped the table with their fingers, indicating pass since they couldn’t beat this hand.
Brother Biao wasn’t worried at all. From 3 to Ace had been played, and since he had the Big Joker and three 2s, it indicated Yan Xiaobao wouldn’t have a bomb. He still had eight cards left; whether they were single cards, pairs, or triples, he could easily crush him. Once he won the play right, Yan Xiaobao could only watch him play his cards.
"Can’t play, huh? Then I’ll play again." Yan Xiaobao continued playing his cards one by one: 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, Ace.
"Damn! Another invincible straight."
Without bombs, a straight to Ace is unsolvable.
"Sound the alarm!" Yan Xiaobao lightly waved his last card.
Everyone knew it was a aningless small Joker; even if it were the smallest 3, Brother Biao could only look at his cards helplessly.
"Huh? Brother Bao didn’t have any 2s..."
Tiantian, Chen Long, and Zhao Erhu all secretly clicked their tongues: No 2s, no Jokers, and yet dared to seize the landlord? If the bottom cards hadn’t revealed a 9 and a King, it would have been impossible to form two invincible straights, with one’s hand full of single cards, being a victim of anyone’s play...
In the first ga, neither Brother Biao nor Dongzi played a card, Yan Xiaobao won easily, winning forty thousand.
"Kid, your luck’s not bad, let’s go again." Brother Biao suppressed his resentnt; his Big Joker and three 2s were completely useless. But it didn’t matter; out of two and a half million chips, losing a re forty thousand was nothing; the road was still long.
...
Second ga, the winner shuffles.
Yan Xiaobao: "Three Ks with a pair of 3s."
Brother Biao: "Four 9s, bomb!"
Yan Xiaobao: "How dare you play a bomb as small as four 9s? Four Ks! Bomb!"
Brother Biao: "..."
Yan Xiaobao: "I won again; two bombs quadruple the stakes, eighty thousand each."
...
Yan Xiaobao: "Three Js, three Qs, three Ks, with pair 5s, pair 6s, pair 7s, pass huh?"
Brother Biao: "Who said I can’t pass? Four Aces, I’ll bomb you!"
Yan Xiaobao: "Rocket! Two bombs quadruple the stakes, eighty thousand each."
...
In less than half an hour, Yan Xiaobao seized nine landlords in a row and won nine consecutive gas, leaving Brother Biao and Dongzi dumbfounded.
"Brother Bao is amazing! You really haven’t played this ga before?" Chen Long and Zhao Erhu were all dumbstruck.
Winning nine gas in a row without giving Brother Biao any chance, is it really just luck, or is his gambling technique truly remarkable?
"Husband, you’re incredible!" Tiantian gradually relaxed, her face showing a sweet smile. It seed like her fifty million in ’pocket money’ wouldn’t be lost.
"These cards are too strange, let’s get a new deck!" Dongzi, also an expert at cards, was continuously crushed by Yan Xiaobao without any chance to resist, feeling a burning anger inside.
"Your hand is quite peculiar too, let shuffle." Brother Biao angrily stubbed out his cigarette, starting to regret letting Yan Xiaobao shuffle.
He never expected Yan Xiaobao to keep winning, not giving him a chance to shuffle at all, leaving his entire gambling skill unused.
Yan Xiaobao snorted, "The winner shuffles; that’s the rule. Want to shuffle? Hmph! Win just one ga against first."
