The following few
In the first round, Shao Qingge had a relatively weak hand and didn't continue betting. He folded for the next eight rounds and started to just watch from the sidelines. Maybe he'll reappear when everyone is about to forget about him.
Li Mo decided to call every subsequent round.
He has a lot of chips, so he can call 400 in each round and it doesn't matter if he loses. This is a common "loose-handing" style in Texas Hold'em. He calls every round, looks at the cards until the river, and then decides whether to raise. If he's unlucky and loses, the amount he loses won't be too big; if he's lucky and wins, one win can be equivalent to eight wins. Overall, with a little bit of luck, he can win a small amount.
Ms. Zhang and Ms. Wang employ contrasting "tight-hand" strategies, folding after seeing their hole cards. They will call all the way to the river if they have a strong hand. This cautious and conservative approach results in fewer losses and a higher chance of winning big or small, depending entirely on the board in the round they call.
Yu Hanjiang plays a more meticulous style than the tight player. He has only called once so far, yet he has won more money in that one game than most players have won ten times over. You could say Yu Hanjiang is a complete opportunist; when he strikes, he strikes decisively and then lies low, waiting for his chance.
Only Shao Qingge... Li Mo still can't figure him out.
This man, of unknown origin, sat at the poker table like a cat watching a spectacle, limbs outstretched. No matter how intense the battle raged, he kept his eyes narrowed, acting as if it were none of his business. Yet, his two consecutive all-in hands had cost Uncle Chen, in position 8, over a hundred chips.
Either we won't play with you, or we'll play big.
This person should not be underestimated.
Li Mo made up his mind and continued to observe Shao Qingge's movements.
At 9:30, it was Yu Hanjiang's turn to be the dealer in position 3, Liu, number 4, was the small blind, He, number 5, was the big blind, and Shao Qingge, number 6, was the first to speak.
In the hole cards round, Shao Qingge called 400, clearly indicating he had a decent hand; the others also readily called 400.
On the flop, the first three community cards were revealed: spade 2, diamonds 5, and plum blossom j.
It's another very "dry" community card. At this point, if someone has a pair of 2, 5, and 7, they can make Three of a Kind. If they only have one card, they can also make a pair, but the pair will be lower. If they already have high cards like a pair of Aces or Kings, they can also call and see how things go.
There's no need to continue playing with other miscellaneous hands; it's very difficult to get flushes or straights with these kinds of community hands—the probability is too low.
After seeing the community cards, three people folded: number 3 Yu Hanjiang, number 4, and number 5.
The other five people continued to bet, each still betting 400 without raising their stake.
Turn: Diamonds 10.
Shao Qingge smiled and said, "Add 1200."
So far, the community cards are 2, 5, 7, and 10, which eliminates the possibility of high-ranking hands like straights or flushes.
Those who spoke after him couldn't help but wonder—could this guy have suddenly raised the bet because he has a pair of tens to make a Three of a Kind?
Number 7, Mr. Wang, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shao Qingge, saying, "Go with 1200."
Twelve chips are nothing to a wealthy woman with a fortune. She has a pair of 5s in this hand, and the community cards are 2, 5, 7, and 9, which makes her a Three of a Kind with 555. As long as no one else makes a higher Three of a Kind, she will win.
Uncle Chen, number 8, folded immediately. He had terrible luck with a 3 and a 9, so there was no point in continuing to play.
No. 1 Li Mo: "Follow 1200."
Li Mo has a 2 and a 7 in his hand. With the community cards of 2 and 7, he already has a pair of 2277. If he gets another 2 or a 7, he can make a full house with "22277" or "77722".
After a moment's careful consideration, the short-haired female CEO, number 2, held a pair of Queens. The community cards were 2, 5, 7, and 10. Both CEO Wang and CEO Li had called with 1200, meaning they had likely already formed Three of a Kind, making the chance of drawing a Queen as the final card very low. She could fold now or call with 1200 to see the fifth card, but her cautious nature led her to make the most rational decision: "Fold."
There are three people left at the card table: Li Mo, Shao Qingge, and Mr. Wang, who has an elegant demeanor (number 7).
None of the three raised their bets further.
Plum Blossom Youth: "River card, last card: Ace of Spades."
Now that all the community cards are laid out before everyone, the possible card combinations have been determined.
Seeing the last card, Shao Qingge couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. As the first to speak, he once again pushed all of his nearly 200 chips into the pot: "All in!"
Everyone: "..."
here we go again!
This guy is likely to get another big hand, which is why he went all in to force others to call, hoping to win more. After all, he's already won hundreds of chips from Bald Uncle Chen using this method. At 1 million chips per chip, that's several hundred million coins.
Shao Qingge crossed his arms, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of smiles, looking determined to win.
Uncle Chen, number 8, chuckled, " Could it be that CEO Shao has an Ace in his hand?"
With the community cards being 2, 5, 7, 10, and A, there are four different suits among the five cards, theoretically eliminating the possibility of a flush or straight.
If Shao Qingge's starting hand was a pair of Aces, it would be reasonable for him to call all the way to the river against such a mixed community hand. Finally, an Ace appeared on the river. If he truly had AAA ( Three of a Kind), the highest hand on the board, he could certainly go all in.
Ms. Wang, number 7, furrowed her delicate brows. Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, complementing...
With her large, curly hair and mature, sexy demeanor, this strong woman is certainly not afraid at the poker table. However, with all the community cards now revealed, she only has a three-of-a-kind of 555. There are likely other three-of-a-kind hands on the table, such as 777, 101010, or even AAA. There are far too many hands stronger than hers.
Shao Qingge went all in, betting over 100 chips, which is no small amount when converted to gold coins.
Even if you have money, you shouldn't just give it away for nothing, right?
Previously, Bald Uncle Chen didn't believe in bad luck and challenged Shao Qingge, who went all in. As everyone saw, he gave Shao Qingge money for two consecutive rounds, practically becoming a money-giving boy! Shao Qingge always has the best hand when he goes all in, and this time should be no exception.
Mr. Wang took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Fold."
She didn't call, believing her hand wasn't worth risking hundreds of chips.
Li Mo calmly tossed his cards onto the table: "Fold."
He called until the last round, hoping to get a 2 or a 7 to make a full house. Unfortunately, he didn't get one, and his hand only made a pair of 2277 with the community cards. According to hand ranking, a pair is lower than Three of a Kind. Even if Shao Qingge had three Aces, or even just three 10s, it would still be higher. Calling at this point would be a pure waste of money.
Since Mr. Wang folded with 555, and Li Mo's hand was even weaker than Mr. Wang's, there was no need for him to give money away to Shao Qingge.
Shao Qingge's all-in bet was so high that two players folded in the final round, not wanting to play with him anymore. Uncle Chen laughed and said, "Have you learned your lesson from me and decided not to fall for my tricks anymore?"
Mr. Wang calmly replied, " CEO Shao likes to go all in when he gets a good hand, and I don't want to be the one who gets ripped off."
Li Mo smiled and said, "Given Uncle Chen's previous experience, we had no choice but to cut our losses in time."
Plum Blossom A looked at Shao Qingge expressionlessly: "Please, Mr. Shao, choose one."
Everyone was thinking, "It must be a pair of Aces, right? And he was lucky enough to get AAA, Three of a Kind."
Even Xiao Lou, Ye Qi, and others who were watching thought the same thing.
Ye Qi clenched his fist excitedly, his tone extremely enthusiastic: " CEO Shao is on a roll! He won over 100 chips from Bald Uncle Chen in two consecutive hands of four of a kind. In this round, although players 7 and 1 folded in time, they both called the 1200 raise on the turn, which is quite a lot. CEO Shao will win dozens of chips this hand. CEO Shao is really awesome!"
Long Sen said, "As expected of our big spender, it's another AAA Three of a Kind."
Old Mo said, "Definitely."
As soon as everyone finished speaking, Shao Qingge slowly turned over his cards with a half-smile.
All eyes were on the table in front of him.
One of them is... heart 3.
And there's another one... Diamond 4?
Forget about Aces, he doesn't even have a single Ace!
Everyone: "........."
Damn, this guy's bluffing!
The community cards in this hand are 2, 5, 7, 10, and A.
Li Mo discarded 2277, and Wang Zong discarded 555 (Three of a Kind). In the end, Shao Qingge won, holding a 3 and a 4!
He can't even make a single pair, yet he's all in with that confident "All in" look on his face?!
You're betting so big, aren't you afraid someone will follow suit? If that happens, you'll lose everything in one go!
Everyone at the card table turned their gaze to Shao Qingge, their expressions complex.
Li Mo touched her nose, both amused and exasperated, while President Wang was filled with regret.
Shao Qingge smiled and gathered the chips from the prize pool in front of him.
Sorry, the all-in was just for show; his hand was actually quite bad. Besides, he had already figured out that Mr. Wang was a very cautious person and wouldn't go all-in unless he had a high probability of winning. Li Mo was also very calm. Even though Li Mo had been calling to the river in recent hands, he would cut his losses if his hand wasn't strong enough. Folding when necessary is always better than losing even more.
If Bald Uncle Chen were left in this round, Shao Qingge wouldn't dare to do this. This uncle is exceptionally stubborn, and if Shao Qingge goes all in, he might continue to follow suit.
However, Mr. Wang and Li Mo, Shao Qingge anticipated that they would not follow.
He used psychological warfare in this game.
Winning isn't about having good or bad cards, but about who your opponents are – it's about who they are.
In Texas Hold'em, card counting and probability calculations are basic, but quickly analyzing the style and characteristics of all opponents is the most crucial step. Shao Qingge's continuous folding of over thirty hands was all about doing this, and now he has grasped the rhythm for the rest of the game.
Ye Qi, Lao Mo, and the others were dumbfounded in the lounge.
Even though Shao Qingge only had a 3 and a 4 in his hand, he acted like he had a pair of Aces from beginning to end!
As expected of the audacious CEO Shao!
