Do you know why most professional poker players are graduates from top universities?
It's because anything related to probability involves calculation formulas, and calculation formulas are inseparable from mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Mastering math, physics, and chemistry means you can fearlessly go anywhere in the world!
This saying can truly be called a golden rule.
For ordinary people playing Texas Hold'em, let alone in one or two minutes, even if given an hour or more, they might not be able to calculate any probabilities.
But professional players are different.
After calculating for about two full minutes, Shui Miaomiao finally decided to call.
The other two players followed suit.
After a round, just as Jiang Bin was about to deal the fifth community card...
Suddenly, Shui Miaomiao inexplicably muttered to herself, "Should I call this hand?"
As she spoke to herself, Shui Miaomiao rested her left cheek on her hand, her right hand's five fingers tapping irregularly on the table.
The tapping frequency was quite rapid, seemingly without any discernible pattern.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would feel strange and curious, but if they didn't notice anything unusual afterward, they would likely choose to forget about it.
But I wouldn't, because I'm a cheat!
At the poker table, any action taken by an opponent, or any word spoken, cannot be taken lightly!
After glancing at the players who called, which were me, Old Smoker, and another person who had won quite a bit of chips, I immediately started a brainstorming session...
What did Shui Miaomiao mean by saying that?
Was she deliberately trying to mislead us, or was she planning to take us all down in one go, kicking all three of us out of the game?
No matter how I thought about it, I felt the latter possibility was more likely.
If she wanted to eliminate all three of us at once, it would mean she intended to...
A flash of inspiration struck, and the conclusion I reached immediately startled me.
Cheating! Shui Miaomiao intended to cheat!!!
In my understanding, without the premise of cheating or trickery, there was no such thing as a guaranteed winning hand.
So, Shui Miaomiao must have intended to cheat?
The hand where she trapped Old Smoker earlier wasn't a calculation error, nor a mistake, but a deliberate act!
The purpose was to wait for a decisive hand later, and then, without arousing anyone's suspicion, easily secure victory!
But the problem was, professional players' cheating methods were very limited, and they absolutely wouldn't escape the eyes of the referee.
How would Shui Miaomiao bypass Jiang Bin and complete the act of cheating?
With this thought, I immediately looked up at her.
I saw Shui Miaomiao's lips curve slightly upwards, revealing a disarmingly charming smile.
Just as Jiang Bin extended his left hand, picking up a poker card to flip it over...
"Achoo!!!"
Suddenly, Shui Miaomiao sneezed without any warning.
Regardless of whether others were drawn to the sound of the sneeze, my attention remained fixed on Shui Miaomiao.
Furthermore, I deliberately paid attention to Jiang Bin, fearing a repeat of collusion between a referee and a player.
However, Jiang Bin was very professional.
He was not disturbed by external factors from beginning to end and smoothly revealed the last community card.
A strikingly prominent Ace of Hearts!
After the final Ace of Hearts appeared, the five community cards were: Q, K, A, Q, A, of mixed suits.
Seeing this, one player sighed and chose to fold.
At this point, only me, Shui Miaomiao, and Old Smoker remained at the table.
When it was Shui Miaomiao's turn to speak, I saw a glint of cunning in the depths of her eyes.
Then, without hesitation, she pushed five chips worth ten thousand each onto the table.
Old Smoker was after Shui Miaomiao.
Still appearing absent-minded, after thinking for less than three seconds, Old Smoker chose to call.
After placing his bet, Old Smoker immediately turned his gaze to me, as if waiting for my decision.
Shui Miaomiao was doing the same.
Seeing this, I sat silently in my seat, my eyes fixed on the community cards on the table.
In this hand, I had started with pocket Kings, and the community cards had already given me trips Kings, a full house. I didn't even need to cheat, and my winning probability was as high as eighty percent, yet I felt no confidence at all.
When something unusual happens, there's a reason for it!
I knew clearly that the person causing this anomaly... was Shui Miaomiao!
After the fourth community card, the turn, was dealt, through a series of subtle maneuvers, her hand had become a miraculous combination that could beat anything.
To overcome the miracle hand Shui Miaomiao held, a pair of Kings wouldn't be enough.
After considering Jiang Bin's reminder to speak, and looking at the chips in front of me, I made a surprising decision.
"All in!"
My move immediately made Shui Miaomiao beam with joy.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shui Miaomiao chose to call.
As for Old Smoker, after thinking for nearly half a minute, he finally decided to call as well.
It was the three of us again!
With three callers, as long as it wasn't a case of fewer chips calling after more chips, meaning the player with fewer chips all-in after the player with more chips, the order of showing cards could be decided.
Before Jiang Bin could even speak, Old Smoker was the first to reveal his cards.
A Ten and a Jack, combined with the five community cards, could form a straight from Ten to Ace.
This hand was definitely not small, but unfortunately...
It was utterly crushed by my pair of Kings, which formed three Kings and a pair of Aces, a full house.
Of course, I didn't get to laugh last.
Because Shui Miaomiao's miracle hand was revealed... a pair of Queens!
As Shui Miaomiao, with a beaming smile, flipped over her two hole cards, revealing a pair of Queens, everyone collectively gasped.
"Sorry~ I win!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shui Miaomiao stood up, preparing to collect the chips.
At that moment, I suddenly called out, "Wait a minute!"
Hearing this, Shui Miaomiao's expression immediately fell, and she looked at me with an unfriendly tone, asking, "What do you want?"
"Heh heh~" I chuckled inexplicably and retorted meaningfully, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
"The referee hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already in such a hurry to collect the chips? What do you mean by that?"
"Tch~ I thought it was something serious," Shui Miaomiao said disdainfully. "Isn't it obvious that I won?"
"Could your three Kings be greater than my four Aces?"
Shaking my head, I replied in a deep voice, "Under normal circumstances, four of a kind is definitely greater than a full house, but..."
"What if someone obtained four of a kind through cheating? How should that be counted?"
Hearing my words, Shui Miaomiao froze on the spot...
