Chapter 3 Chapter Three

He returned home with a heavy heart, and recited the lines he had prepared.Although the family members said they were unwilling, they thought it over again and saw that what I said was reasonable, so they said that so-and-so in the village was doing well somewhere in Zhejiang, and told me to go find him after I got there.I didn't pay much attention to it. Who would want to be under house arrest after just getting out of prison? The so-called man is not as good as the sky. I didn’t go back to school for many days when I went home. The school sent spies to investigate. This is a good thing. I told everything face to face, so I didn’t dare to go home for a long time.

A few days later, I came to Zhejiang alone, got off the train, found a place that was not too prosperous, and rented a house, even if I was out. I rented at the home of a landlord who ran a shop. The landlord’s surname was Chen. Although he was in his forties, I still called him Brother Chen, which meant being close to the masses.After I come out, I have to find a job, no, I'm not here to dawdle.But there is no rush to find a job, so I made a plan. Although we can't wait until we run out of ammunition and food before looking for a job, at least we have to recharge our batteries for a while.The first day was spent in a dream. At night, I ordered a stir-fried dish at the corner restaurant and had some food. I was going to go out for a walk. I just came out and I was curious about everything.

It was about nine o'clock in the evening when I came back from shopping, and the small courtyard was very popular. I thought to myself, is there something lively?I am naturally lively.I saw a few people around outside and a table inside, everyone was looking inside with great interest, I took a look, yo, isn’t this a fraudulent gold flower.Although I just came out, I still have some precautions. After all, I still have a little understanding of the tricks on the poker table, so I watched the excitement outside, and by the way, I also checked to see if anyone was cheating on the poker table. I don't know anything else about recruiting.There were five people playing cards at the table, including the landlord, and Yaxiong, who became very strong later on. I called him Daxiong.

Daxiong was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old at the time, a good-looking young man, and he was also very kind. He married a pretty wife and opened a shop in a nearby street. He didn't have any other hobbies, except for playing cards.In fact, he also owed a lot of money because of gambling, there is no way, a gambler, he will not give up until he loses his fortune. I was a newcomer in the courtyard, and an old man who I knew later said, "Hey, this little brother is a stranger." The dialect is hard to understand.Brother Chen said: "Ah, he just rented here today and just came out to look for a job." Brother Chen said to me: "Hey, Xiao Fang, do you want to play two games?" I replied: "Oh, this game I don’t know, I’ll take a look first, and then I’ll play after I’ve seen it.” While talking, he smoked a ring, which means he’s integrated into this circle.

In order to let everyone know who is sitting in which position in the future, I will explain the seating on the poker table.On the poker table, there is a "professional" name for the seat, but the name is different in different places. For the convenience of narrative, I will briefly describe it.The explanation is based on the seats of four people. Everyone knows the dealer. If I am the dealer, my right is called the next player, the opposite is the opponent, and the left is the upper player. The card starts from the next house. The previous day's poker game was quickly over, the winners were Big Bear and a trick player, and Brother Chen lost a lot.In fact, Big Bear was out, but I didn't see it at the time. My mind was always thinking about stealing cards, changing cards, and so on, and I didn't think much about anything else.

It has been about half a month, and I have never been on the table here. I live like this every day, and I can always see some patterns.I found that Big Bear can usually make some money in the end, but I still don't know how to get it.I saw it because the kid was careless. In that round, he held a straight in his hand, a straight flush of hearts 10, J, and Q. He bet fiercely and made everyone run away. Man buys his cards to see. In the second round, he took the same cards from the previous round. He was quite careful when looking at the cards, as if he was afraid that someone would see them. He pressed the cards on the table and pushed the corner of the cards away with one hand. , with one hand covering the face of the cards.Gamblers are all like this, they look mysterious when they look at their cards. This is called halo, and it is a symbolic action for gamblers to look at their cards.But I can see his cards from where I stand. People who have been gambling for a long time can just glance at the cards, and the cards are still so big.

This time I was not as nervous as I was watching Xiaozhi change his cards. It was a little strange, of course I knew it, but I still don't know how to do it.In the future, I will consciously continue to wait at a place where I can see the corner of his card and he doesn't care much.There is a saying that Shou Deyun opens the quilt to dry, it is worth my hard work, it seems that I have figured out the way.He can use two cards of the same suit in his hand to make a flush in the next game, and he can use the good cards in his hand in the next game. The rule I summed up is this: when the three cards he holds are all good cards, he will put the three good cards on top of the cards, and when he shuffles the cards next time, each of the three cards will be separated by four cards, so that He can get the hand of cards just now. Of course, there is a process of cutting cards, but this seems to be invalid for him.I can see that every time this happens, he will cut the cards and put the cut cards under the cards to be dealt, that is to say, the cards are restored by him!

Another situation is that when he only has two cards with consecutive numbers or two cards of the same suit in his hand, he will put these two cards at the bottom of the cards, and will not move the stack of cards after cutting the cards .That's why I see him returning his cards.With his method, if he returned the cut cards to the bottom of the card every time, he would have to die more brain cells to figure out that he restored the cards, but the fewer cards the better, so he didn't put The stack of cards is returned to the deck.Later, these thousands of techniques were confirmed by him.

The first kind of skill is to stack the cards in order, which I call sequence cards, which means to arrange the cards in a certain order.Cut card restoration is also called anti-cut technique.The second thousand techniques are "hair bottom two".Maybe many people only know how to deal the hole card, but Big Bear deals the bottom two, that is, the hole card is not moved, and the card on the hole card is dealt.By the way, it is better to use the bottom two to temporarily make two big names. For example, if you have two spades in your hand, put the spades under the cards, and then find four spades by searching for cards. This is enough for a trickster to shuffle the cards twice.After finding all six spades, remember the biggest one among the six spades. For example, if it is the fourth spade, you only need to control the fourth spade. Five cards were taken out, so that the fourth card remained in the old man's hands.The method mentioned above is a relatively stupid method, and there are many other ways to distribute multiple big names.

Big Bear uses the bottom two very cleverly. He will show the hole cards to everyone seemingly unintentionally after shuffling the cards, so that no one will suspect that he has dealt the hole cards.He never played particularly big cards, and it wasn't because of his lack of cultivation, the reason I only learned later.The frequency of making a thousand is not high, and doing these actions in a seemingly "unintentional" situation, of course, I can't escape my intentional eyes.His technique is relatively neat and sophisticated. During this time, I heard an interesting thing.One day, a guy lost a lot and wanted to ask Lao Yang to replace him.This kind of thing happens from time to time at the poker table. It is normal to ask someone to replace you when you are unlucky, but Lao Yang refuses to do it. The onlookers joked that this round is too small, and Lao Yang is unwilling to play, saying that Lao Yang has recently It seems that he has won a lot in the field.Lao Yang often went to play in a casino not far away. He was deeply influenced by Hong Kong gambling movies since he was a child.Lao Yang said, "Why don't you play?" I talked nonsense with him, and he was very straightforward, saying that he would call me the next time I went, so I couldn't mention how excited I was.

Of course, I didn't want to go to the casino to make money. At that time, I didn't even dare to think about making money in the casino.A few days later, Lao Yang said that "classes" would start there. "Starting class" is what gamblers call when they gather to gamble.I excitedly followed Lao Yang's ass, thinking that I was going straight to the casino, but I didn't expect that we would have to wait for a car to pick me up at a street corner.This is for safety considerations when gambling. If someone reports the bet, the consequences will be serious. I came to the casino with Lao Yang, it's okay if I don't come, at least I still have a good idea in my heart, but I'm really disappointed when I come.This kind of place was later classified as a gambling stall by me, just to provide gamblers with a gambling environment and gambling tools. As for the luxurious to extravagant decoration and beautiful beautiful dealers, there is no such thing as a gambling stall. I often move around and change places with one shot. Especially luxurious gambling stalls are rare, and generally high-end places are located in hotels.A table of people spontaneously get together to gamble and call it a game.Gambling stalls are organized by someone, and generally there are not many items that can be played.The casino does not need too much explanation, everyone has a little impression in their hearts.
