152 episodes. It’s a seal of clairvoyance.
‘Finish as quickly as possible.’
From the beginning, he boldly placed bets and played in the direction of increasing the pot.
It was decided that there might be some variables that could change if time was spent against an experienced David.
“Raise, a million dollars.”
Grow the pot to 1.2 billion preflop.
“Reyes, two million dollars.”
On the flop, I played 2.4 billion.
If you include blinds, you will start with a basic 3.7 billion won.
This was the standard set regardless of the hand on the board.
“I expected it, but it’s coming out pretty hard, isn’t it?”
“You say it’s too much, and you accept everything?”
“You have to get it to know about your style.”
“Are you saying that my style is similar to that of President Gary?”
“It’s similar, but not the same. Even subtle differences are definitely different in gamble, so it’s natural to check them out.”
Hearing his answer, he nodded in agreement.
Then, he confirmed the final hand with his clairvoyance.
“You’re more careful than I thought. So let’s go a little harder? Rays, five million dollars.”
“call.”
Based on the three flops on the floor, it’s not a very good hand, but it comes with it.
When the turn card was opened, I called a raise again.
“Rays, ten million dollars.”
“call.”
It’s a call with no shake.
I heard it from Liaoxin before the start of the competition.
David’s long term is snap calls.
A call that is called without hesitation based on a quick calculation is called that.
That alone is bound to put pressure on the opponent, and he will fall into a swamp psychologically.
If the opponent doesn’t hesitate, it’s likely to be considered as having a high hand.
‘But it doesn’t work for me, because I can see everything.’
The result is self-evident.
I am a triple and David is a two pair.
There is no reason to be under psychological pressure.
“River Card Open, Mr. Jin K Triple Win.”
Kathy retrieved the card and handed the chip to me.
$18 million went into the hands of the first edition.
Taking it, he glanced at David.
‘what? I lost more than 20% of my stack, but there’s no movement?’
The difference, which was less than doubled between $130 million and $75 million, nearly tripled in one round.
However, looking through clairvoyance, David’s metabolism did not change.
‘Aren’t people supposed to beat their hearts to the beat?
On the contrary, I swallowed my saliva at the sight of him so casual.
In that state, the game continued.
“Raise.”
“call.”
“Raise.”
“call.”
.
.
Unlike a raise or a fold, a snap call does not change as long as you call a call.
I kept looking at livers with similar betting standards.
A good hand is $10 million, and a bad hand is between $1 million and $5 million.
There were times when we lost on purpose, but the overall win rate was high thanks to the flow.
And even if I proceed in that line, if I win two or three times, victory and defeat will lean toward me, so I waited for a natural time.
A turning point that will decide the game.
and,
‘Come. Let’s end it here.’
At the time, David’s stack was about $20 million.
“Raise, twenty million dollars.”
It’s a little over 10% by my standards, but David calls all-in soon.
I exclaimed with the feeling that we’ll see if he doesn’t shake this time again.
“call.”
Wow, that’s crazy.
It’s not bluffing, but I have an advantage in the win rate and the result is the same. Can I call without hesitation?
I guess I was just nervous
His reputation was so high that I thought he was overestimating it.
“Dealer, wait a minute.”
Suddenly, David stopped Kathy’s progress and spoke.
“Why do you do that, Mr Wolf?”
“That card, it looks like it has scratches.”
what? scratch?
When I focused my eyes, there were fine traces on the side as if I had taken it with a fingernail.
Did the public see it?
“I have confirmed. I will burn down.”
Although Kathy had discarded the burning card earlier, he found a scratch and treated it as a burning card too.
‘shit……’
burning card.
The dealer discards a card before opening the flop, turn or river.
That one card is called a burning card and is used to prevent the player from marking or counting the card.
It is a kind of variable.
However, this is not a problem even if you discard these two cards as burning cards.
Because the purpose is to set variables to prevent fraud.
Looking at Kathy’s response, it seemed that it didn’t matter how many burning cards were used.
‘Damn, you’re using your burning card like this?’
flop? turn? River? You never know where David is going to bet.
Therefore, it became difficult to read the final hand with only that one variable.
‘Did you intentionally scratch that card?’
I’ve had a few rounds before, so chances are good enough.
However, it was not the purpose of using the card to make such scratches.
If I did, I would use that card to increase my hand or predict my hand, and I wouldn’t have informed the dealer.
‘I am the purpose. I think I’m good at predicting my cards, so I’m waving with a burning card.’
Having confirmed that there was a scratch, the image must have been etched in Cassie’s head.
Then, if David points out the same way, it might burn down even if the card is fine.
“River Open, Mr. Wolf Seven Two Pair Win.”
At Cathy’s words, I looked at David.
He was still arranging his chips at the same tempo and with the same expression.
’40 million dollars…’
Instantly restores half of the first stack.
I instinctively felt that the flow had passed to my opponent.
“The blinds have been adjusted to $900,000.”
Has it already been an hour and a half?
Time passed quickly until just a moment ago, but it feels like it is moving slowly.
“Raise, a million dollars.”
For now, I bet preflop without any hints. And on the flop, he bet two million dollars and stick to the rules so far.
This was to avoid making the mistake of changing the play by guessing before checking whether the flow has changed.
‘If you shake here, you will be eaten at once.’
You have to be bold and consistent with a poker face to survive.
Fortunately, I’m still a big stat.
enough leeway
“Open the flop, it’s David Jean’s turn.”
“Raise, five million dollars.”
“call.”
damn snap call.
At first, I thought it was a little bit of pressure, but I’m really worried about it.
I felt like a wolf that roamed around its prey, looking for opportunities.
That’s why he’s nicknamed the stubborn wolf.
“Turn…”
“Wait, I think I should burn down that card too.”
At David’s point, Cassie looked at the card and tilted her head slightly, but eventually treated it as a burning card.
“Turn open, Diamond Queen.”
If the next card is treated as a burning card and the next is a river card, your hand is straight.
If you point out the burning card again this time, it will be a loser and David wins with one pair.
It was a moment when I was debating whether to go strong or not.
“All-in.”
What!?
He glanced at David with a pounding heartbeat.
At that moment, my mind became more complicated.
‘If David points out a burning card, what if I consume one more card with the same point? Umm… Still, I lose with one pair and David with two pairs.’
Even if the cash is generous with the burning cards, it cannot be argued that the next chapter should be burned down again.
If you two fight like that, you can give the impression that one of the two is manipulating.
‘Wow, I can’t accept this.’
I took care of my facial expression as much as possible and covered the plate.
“Fold.”
How can I overcome this difficulty?
It’s a seal of clairvoyance.
It never occurred to me that I could win against a world-class gambler without cheats.
‘What if…’
***
David was convinced to himself.
Also, his guess was correct.
‘I don’t know what moves I used, but predicting hands is no joke.’
There were times when I was winning, but I felt a strange sense of incongruity each time.
It was like a sixth sense accumulated from gambles thousands or tens of thousands of times.
As a result of such analysis, Edward’s prediction could be said to be at a great level.
‘It was the same with Uncle Gary in the early days. He had an excellent predictive power to the point where it was doubtful whether he had the ability to look ahead one step ahead.’
Past experience of running multiple VCRs and analyzing Gary Parker’s hand tables.
It was something other than probability.
I couldn’t tell if it was counting or what it was because I could only see it on the screen.
‘The first thing to do is to create a variable and prove that my guess is certain.’
In my mind, it’s just a hypothesis.
David tried to prove it in the field.
So what I chose was to scratch the card.
Subtle enough for the dealer to notice.
Fortunately, he had a multifaceted career, including dealing with guys with low-level hand skills.
David said that Seodang-gae is said to have a good harvest in three years, so it was possible to imitate simple things to some extent, such as displaying advanced techniques such as card swapping, even if it was unreasonable.
“That card, it looks like there is a scratch.”
A tooth revealed on the turn of the marked card.
The dealer acted as he intended, and the opponent showed agitation for the first time.
I was trying not to show it, but I could tell that the rhythm was slightly disturbed.
‘Caught.’
I don’t know why it collapses with only the variable called a burning card, but David was confident of victory.
Even if you don’t know anything else, recovering from a mental state is a difficult part even for a professional gambler.
‘Is this the end, Edward.’
What was the confidence you showed before the match?
He even said that he would be chasing him in the future.
I had hoped that it would be like that.
There is nothing more painful than chasing after the dead.
Until recently, he was in a state where the flame was extinguished as a gambler.
‘You appeared while trying to burn the last spark in Macau, the world’s largest casino market, and make a happy family with Lana…’
Gary Parker from the days he longed for, a gambler with a style similar to him.
Edward’s presence came to David with a palpitation that he might become a new target.
“Raise, a million dollars.”
Edward’s stubborn preflop betting.
Then double bets on the flop.
David took it and snorted inwardly.
‘The flow has completely crossed and the stack has also been reversed, so does it make any sense to keep it?’
They didn’t seem to know when to make a change.
The lack of judgment is just another proof that the mentality has gone out.
‘Let’s finish it. If the winning streak is tilted here, the white flag will be raised.’
A flush with just a combination of hand and flop.
Depending on the turn and river, we can expect more, but it was still possible to bet strong enough.
“Raise, twenty million dollars.”
A bet that is neither too strong nor too small for the purpose of growing the pot.
Edward followed after calling Cole.
‘Okay, let’s drag him here one more time.’
He said, shoving half of the chip in.
“Raise, 40 million dollars.”
“……call.”
Reluctantly following reaction.
If you win here, you won’t be able to regenerate with the rest of the stack.
“Dealer, I need to burn that card too.”
This time, Kathy made a variable by burning down as intended.
By the way,
“River Open, this time it’s Edward Jean’s betting order.”
As soon as Cassie’s words fell,
“All-in.”
Edward made his first all-in bet.
