"Can you tell me why you chose Texas Hold'em?"
Reason, reason to arouse interest.
The silent time reminded the young man of his first memory of playing poker. Although it is very simple, it has very profound gameplay. Although other games also have such factors, but...
"——Because luck is a big factor in this game, even the weak can win." Faced with the man's question, the young Joe replied.
If his luck continues, he can win no matter how powerful the opponent is, but he has no doubt about this.
"I see, you hate games where strength is everything, right?" The man thought he understood what the child in front of him said, and smiled with amusement.
"No." However, he shook his head.
He also likes marbles and JIZHONGXI chess, but... he thinks that is not possible.
It feels unpleasant!
"Because it can be covered up by good luck, it is difficult to see the truth of victory and defeat. I am convinced that Texas Hold'em is a game based on superb logic."
With luck, they might win too. But it is impossible for the goddess of luck to favor them all the time, and the sister will be so happy that she forgets everything and starts playing tricks. In the long run, they will slowly lose.
He understands that poker is not a game of beating others, but a game of making the right decisions over and over again. Which side made the more correct decision depends not only on the immediate victory or defeat, but whether it can make a winning choice that includes the expectation of victory.
"It doesn't matter even if you lose the duel in front of you. As long as you can make the right choice - then you can win this game." So at a young age, he looked forward to a game that would test his judgment and decision-making. Make him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
"I thought so..." His thoughts returned to his eyes. Joe's eyes did not waver, he just watched the contestants enter one after another indifferently.
"All•In•Game", translated as "all-in game", refers to the casino's periodic special projects that are opened outside the operating hours. Participants are selected by powerful people who cooperate with the casino, and then come here to compete in poker games.
Each contestant has a certain amount of chips, and those who lose their chips will exit the game on the spot. Under the name of All•In•Game, the treatment they receive is all decided by the behind-the-scenes supervisor who is the head of the game, and the person who wins in the end will get the right to realize their wishes, which of course refers to the wishes within the casino's ability.
Play all-in games for huge sums of money that are not easily available through normal means. If they don't participate in this game, they won't be able to survive. Even if the conditions are too harsh, they have to participate.
"You don't need any noise to fight each other. Let's fight to your heart's content in a pure world!" No one appeared, and a lonely and ethereal voice came from the casino.
There were six people summoned here, and Artolis had never seen five of them except Joe. Behind the middle-aged woman was a middle-aged uncle, then sat down a timid-looking woman, and finally a proud young man wearing sunglasses who looked about the same age as Joe.
"The rules are as conveyed to you in advance. The last person left on the gambling table is the winner, so try to avoid losing your chips and fight." The ethereal voice seemed to want to exaggerate the passionate atmosphere, but how is this possible!
"No, there is no time limit for playing cards...!? Or, you can pass as long as you survive!?" The bloated middle-aged man asked nervously.
"What are you still talking about now? Didn't the person who brought you here explain anything to you?" A disembodied voice came from the hall with an angry rebuke.
With sharp eyes, one of the fierce-looking boxers stared at the security camera, and it looked like a happy watch party was taking place on the other side of the camera.
"How can there be such a rule? There is always only one winner, and only one person can stay until the end!"
"This, I've never heard of this...! That person just told me that if I could win here, my debt would be wiped off!"
"Please shut up. At this point, please don't say stupid things. If you are too noisy and affect the audience, you will be disqualified before the game starts." The voice fell, and the boxer standing aside showed a fierce look. He stared at the man.
"..." He had no choice but to close his mouth. The fat man was frightened and regretful. The person who brought him here didn't tell him anything. He was just played like a monkey.
“…..”
“…..”
"..." No one dared to speak anymore. The people sitting around here were like grasshoppers on the same rope, enjoying the silence together.
"Hey, what will happen if we are eliminated?" The arrogant young man on the side pushed up his sunglasses, chose to break the tranquility, and asked Qiao, who was the calmest.
"I don't know." Qiao spread his hands: "I only know that those who lose their qualifications will have everything that belongs to them taken away."
"Haha! No wonder you can be so calm, because here you are the only one who is as calm as me, and that makes me care." The young man said, laughing to himself, and then looked at the others before the game started.
"Look, this fat uncle is already dying. How can a person who loses his composure win? Although the other uncle pretended to be calm, his shoulders were already shaking and he was sweating profusely."
"And this girl is so timid. She even has incontinence. How afraid is she of failure?" The man kept talking.
"It's natural, after all, everyone is fighting with their own life on the line, so it's natural to be afraid of failure." Qiao tilted his head and responded to the young man's joke.
"But you are not afraid, because you are not afraid, so you have no sense of reality and cannot feel the fear." Looking at Qiao's eyes, the young man raised his mouth and showed an unpleasant smile.
The man's stern gaze seemed to peek into Joe's eyes. They were rivals and enemies sitting here. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles, and the unknown existence has always been the most deadly.
"I have to win. I came here with that kind of awareness - fear has nothing to do with me." Joe did not show any weakness, but sharply avoided the opponent's sight.
The arrogant young man wanted to use words to make the player timid, but unfortunately this trick didn't work on Joe.
"The small talk is over, the game officially begins!" The ethereal voice that interrupted the conversation between the two was filled with twisted excitement, and at the same time, everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.
Not just the contestants, but also Artoris who was sitting in the lounge watching all this. From the moment the game started, what shrouded her eyes was unparalleled despair. In a cruel duel, only one person can win, and only one person can survive. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a dark corner existed in this world.
"Texas...poker..." The tightly trembling palms gradually opened, and the rules of the game were clearly described on the sweat-soaked piece of paper.
