God of Gambling 02

10 o’clock at night.
Hyeon-jun arrived at the lobby on the first floor dressed in simple clothes. Fortunately, there was no need to wait, the mother and daughter came first and were waiting.
“Oh, are you out already? This way.”
Hyeon-jun pointed toward the casino with his hand, and the girls moved side by side with Hyeon-jun.
“Thank you, bachelor.”
The college girl’s mother said thank you, and Hyun-joon replied that it was nothing. Then the female college student immediately opens her mouth.
“What is your name by any chance? My name is Yumi. Yumi Kim.”
“Oh, is that so? I am Hyunjun Choi.”
“By any chance… What is your student number?”
It’s a class number…
When most people meet in person, the first thing they ask is their student number.
A subtly hierarchical relationship, this was the important shape.
Hyunjoon gave a simple answer.
“I am in the class of 09.”
“yes?”
At that moment, the female college student was surprised. It was because Hyun-joon’s grade was too high than I thought. If you look closely at the appearance, you can see it as a college student. And it’s because the clothes are also casual style that looks good.
“Then what about that one?”
When Hyeon-jun asked out of etiquette, the female college student replied awkwardly.
“I’m in the 17th class.”
Ah, class of 17.
Then it’s about 3rd year of university.
22 years old?
Hyeonjun added a bit more explanation at this time.
“I am a fast 09 class. Actually, my birth date is not early… but I got confused with another hyung and entered school a year early…”
“yes?”
At that moment, a female college student questioned back without understanding.
“Oh, no.”
At this time, Hyeonjun realized his mistake and quickly cut off his words. There is no reason to mention it to others since I have been working at the nursery school.
When Hyeon-jun finished speaking like that, the female college student looked at Hyeon-jun again.
A man older than you think.
However, it is not that there is such a big difference between men and women.
Even so, the other person’s grade was higher than expected, so the expression was a little burdensome.
Anyway, after a while, Hyun-joon entered the casino with them.

“Oh, did you bring your passport?”
“yes.”
“Keep it, just in case.”
In fact, since the casino here is connected to the hotel, it is customary not to ask for ID immediately at the entrance.
So Hyun-joon went right inside and walked around each table briefly explaining the game method.
After that, he briefly explained how to use the slot machines piled up on one side.
Of course, the two were unfamiliar with the table game method, so they sat down in front of the slot machine first.
Then, a white security officer quietly approached and asked for an ID from the female college student.
Age of Asian women. It was because of the characteristics of Westerners who couldn’t recognize it right away.
When asked for an ID like that, the female college student immediately took out her passport and showed it to me.
Fortunately, the casino entry age was over 21 years old, and from then on, the two started playing slot machines without any problems.
“Then I’ll go to the line table over there. If you have any problems, come over there and let me know.”
Hyeonjun said so while remaining kind to the end.
The female college student smiled and said thank you again.
Meanwhile, Hyun-joon looked around and headed towards the baccarat table first, then turned around.
The majority of Chinese people enjoy Baccarat.
The majority of Native Americans seemed to be clustered around blackjack or rolls tables.
Well, baccarat is fine too.
What could be better?
Hyeon-joon, who had been thinking for a while, first exchanged the cash for chips, and then, wanting to have a different experience than blackjack, he headed for a table deeper inside.
#
Excuse me, can I sit here?
After seeking a doctor around him with such eyes as if he were saying that, Hyun-jun finally sat down at a corner of the poker table that was empty.
Then, the existing players glanced at the new player, Hyun-jun, and looked roughly at Hyun-jun’s true face.
The table dealer also looked over Hyun-joon from head to toe, and then pointed to the No Limit sign with his eyes.
Gesture asking if you know what kind of table this is and sit down.
Come to think of it, this hotel casino has 36 poker tables, and this type of table can be said to be the main stage for professional gamblers.
In other words, this table where Hyun-Jun was sitting.
It is a no limit betting table where you can lose tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars at once when the bet goes out very hard and sticks.
Nevertheless, Hyeon-joon boldly sat down and immediately looked to the left and right again expressionlessly.
People currently seated. It’s a pretty normal look. But the facial expression was never like that. Caucasian grandfather and grandmother with soft smiles on their lips.
An Asian male.
Other than that, a young white man wearing a Texas Rangers hat and so on.
Everyone’s eyes were quiet, but on the other hand, they were very sharp.
Anyway, Hyun-Jun put the 30,000 dollar chip he had brought in front of him, and finally got into the game.
The sport is Texas Hold’em.
And finally the game began.
#
“Hey, if this is your first time here, listen carefully. You can bet without limits here, so if your heart falters, you lose everything.”
The white grandfather, smiling benignly, glanced at Hyeon-jun, who was sitting next to him, and was giving a short piece of advice while the previous board was being sorted out.
That’s why this table is a very bloody table.
At this time, Hyeon-joon responded simply with an eye greeting, and then put on the sunglasses he had prepared. It is said that there is a change in the size of the pupil when reading the ghost number, so it is to hide it.
And as soon as a new edition began, new betting began.
In fact, the rules of Texas Hold’em are quite simple.
Each player is dealt two cards, and the dealer will reveal five cards on the floor in turn.
The five cards on the floor are common cards. Cards that all players can use in common.
In this way, the game is won with a total of 7 cards. At this time, the person with the highest genealogy becomes the winner and eats all the stakes.
After all, the first two cards you receive are the most important of all.
On the other hand, the players were to bet first before receiving the cards.
For example, ‘anti’, so-called ‘going to school’ is correct.
In this case, all players are obliged to bet.
However, the method of this casino is the ‘blind’ method. If the person sitting to the right of the dealer button (D) chip bets a $100 chip, the first bet ends with the person next to him betting an additional $200, twice the $100.
If the first person pays $200, the next person has to pay twice the stake, or $400.
In other words, the dealer button (D) chip moves clockwise one square each time, so the player who makes the first bet changes each time. In any case, it was a way for players to take turns placing each stake in each game.
Currently, Hyun-joon has a distance from the dealer button, so he directly participates in the game without paying the stake.
Even so, Hyeon-jun seemed to be curious about something, and he was scanning the surroundings carefully.
Then, soon after, two cards for each player, pre-flop, were dealt face-to-face.
From this point on, the ‘check’ or additional betting began.
Hyeonjun first looked at his card briefly and immediately covered it.
From now on, the betting race is more important, so Hyun-jun pays more attention to the people around him.
As expected, bloody betting continued from the beginning, like an unlimited table.
As such, while constantly going back and forth between raises and calls, when it was his turn, Hyeon-joon responded lightly with a ‘call’ and followed up.
In fact, Hyun-jun cannot see the card patterns such as clubs, hearts, and diamonds, but he has figured out all the card numbers each player will have before the cards are scattered by the dealer’s hand. It was because they could preview their private card numbers in the form of ghost numbers.
On top of that, Hyun-Jun knows in advance the numbers of the turn (4th card) card, the river (5th and last card) card, and all these cards in addition to the three common cards (flop) that will be laid on the floor after a little while. had been seen
Well, first of all, my cards are Ace of Hearts and Q of Diamonds…
For a moment, Hyeon-jun only laughed in his heart.
In other words, if you combine your cards with common cards that will come out later, your genealogy will eventually become an ace two pair.
Even if you look at the genealogy of the entire table, this is the highest genealogy that can be made numerically.
Come to think of it, they say that new players have the most luck in the early stages, and from the first game, the goddess of luck came to Hyeon-jun.
Nevertheless, there are still unpredictable risks.
This is because, in addition to the genealogy created through the combination of numbers, there is also the possibility of flushing five cards with the same suit.
So, as long as there is no flush, Hyun-Jun will be the highest genealogy, and Hyun-Jun can be the winner in this round.
But… it’s really dangerous because you can’t see the pattern.
I know in advance the numbers that have already come out or will come out in the future.
You can never predict how the pattern of each card will turn out.
Anyway, in the midst of everyone’s silence, the bets continued brutally.
Hyeon-joon kept shouting ‘Call’ and caught up with him.
And soon after, three common cards were opened.
Even at this time, the players’ expressions are all poker faces.
If you hadn’t seen the ghost numbers, everyone had no change in expression to the point that you wouldn’t know what hand they were holding.
Nevertheless, Hyeon-joon took more time to focus on the three newly revealed card patterns.
and that moment.
wow, that’s good
all different patterns.
Surprisingly, all three cards came out with different patterns.
Rainbow (all 3 cards of a different suit).
In other words, a rainbow appeared.
Then the probability of getting a flush is very low.
That doesn’t mean it’s completely gone.
Because there is a very low probability.
That is, if the remaining two suits to be revealed in the future are one of these three suits, and the opponent also has all cards of that suit.
If so, the person with that hand could be the winner.
Meanwhile, Hyun-Jun’s turn to bet again.
Hyeonjun thought for a moment and responded with a ‘call’ again this time.
In any gambling table, there are always people who raise stakes and show off their bravado.
A young American wearing a Texas Rangers hat was upping the stakes just as hard.
There was no need for Hyeonjun to stand out for nothing.
#
and after a while
Another card was revealed.
This is the turn card, the fourth card.
And at that moment, Hyeon-joon let out a low exclamation with an ‘ah’ in the moment. Of course, there was no change in expression at all on the outside, and there was no actual voice.
Even so, Hyeon-joon couldn’t contain his regret.
Currently, out of the 4 commonly used cards, 2 cards have a heart pattern in common.
In other words, as the heart came out from the fourth card, one more heart card was added to the existing heart card.
So if your opponent is holding two heart cards right now, they have a total of four heart cards.
If the last river (fifth last card) card comes out as a heart, that person may be the final winner.
And at this time, the white man who had been betting hard earlier was betting very hard this time too.
Maybe flush?
Eventually, when the turn cards were revealed, the players folded one by one and retreated.
After a while, the only ones left were a white grandfather and grandmother, Hyun-jun, and a white man. There were 4 people in total.
Even so, Hyeon-joon shouted ‘Call’ this time as well and followed him.
Then, a white man glanced at Hyeon-joon as if he was surprised.
The spectators who were watching were also glancing at Hyeon-jun for the first time.
And finally, the River (fifth common card) card that is finally revealed.
The river card was finally revealed in the dealer’s hand.
Revealing such a river card means that we have reached the end of an irreversible game.
Of course, even at this time, Hyeon-jun calmly looked at the 5th card, and his hands almost trembled without realizing it.
Alas, Lady Luck, did you decide to help me after all?
Surprisingly, a Q of spades appeared in front of me.
The number 12 he read, namely Q!
And fortunately, the card pattern was not a heart.
Because of that, Hyun-jun became an ace two-pair as expected. In this edition, it became a situation where a flush could never be made.
Phew, I was a bit prickly before.
Anyway, when all the cards came out like that, the white man glanced at Hyeon-jun and from then on he bet very hard, but as the white grandfather quietly caught up with him, his expression soon changed.
And finally, Hyun-joon’s turn.
At this time, Hyeon-jun smiled and pushed all the chips in.
