Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Chapter 37 Coach Shi is a Talent

The re-upgrade of [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] made Shi Li fall asleep contentedly.

After a good day of rest, fatigue is basically eliminated.

On the day of the game, he came to the scene in the morning.

Although it is said that the 8 into 4 afternoon will start, but it is still necessary to look at the 16 into 8 in the morning.

Learn more about your opponent, so you can prepare in advance.

Of course, he has full confidence in the game in the afternoon.

"Master, master, this way!"

Slime greeted him from a distance in the seat.

Originally, Shili could watch it from the player's stand, but he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm for watching the game together, so he had to come to the audience stand.

"Master, this is the morning match."

As soon as he sat down, Slime handed over a poster.

"The organizer understands traffic."

As a player, of course Shi Li already knew the number of matches the day before yesterday.

There are a total of 4 games in the morning, the game system is 4+1, and the planned time for each game is 15-30 minutes.

The reason why the time fluctuates so much is mainly to see whether there will be a bladder game with defensive cards on both sides + milk cards, and whether there are any players who are talkative.

On the cube card table, there are still a lot of chatterboxes.

Some people even like to explain the origin of this card from beginning to end every time they reveal a card.

This is actually a tactic called bluffing.

Overpowering the opponent in terms of momentum may cause the opponent to be timid or make mistakes.

However, Shi Li feels that this kind of chatterbox is a high-end game, and it should not appear in the Rising Stars Comprehensive Competition.

After all, these small players come and go with just a few small cards, so where does the background story come from.

The duration of the 4+1 game is inherently short, and there are only 4 rounds in a long morning. What should I do if I don’t have enough time?

It's very simple, just insert some performances and advertisements in the middle.

Especially advertising, which is a large part of the association's income.

Don't think that the association is a charitable organization, they also need funds to operate.

Without a source of funding, where will the venue and copy of the game come from.

As for why the organizers understand traffic, it's because the player who received the most attention this year, oh no, it was the player who received the most attention this year before the dungeon match, and the smoky game was put in the last game.

Soon after one person, one history was seated, the process officially began.

The first to come on stage was a singer.

Yes, there was a song and dance program before the first show.

The singer is of a strange race and looks like a pillar of flesh.

There are many mouths growing on the pillar, and with one mouth, it actually sings the effect of a chorus.

Moreover, the timbres and voices produced by each of its mouths are different.

The appearance of this guy makes people want to drop the SAN value at a glance.

But in the end, its singing voice is very healing, and people can pick up the SAN value.

The most important thing is that the organizer is really good at rubbing the heat.

The song for this singer to sing is "Orchid Grass".

But anyone who participated in or watched the dungeon competition was deeply impressed by this song.

Even a few eliminated contestants seemed to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and fled the venue after hearing the melody.

After the 10-minute show, there is a 3-minute commercial.

I have to say that the advertisement here is really well done, whether it is creativity or design, it is very attractive.

Didn't see the last second, didn't even know what ad it was.

Compared with singing and dancing, Shi Li prefers watching commercials.

If he had a job where he was paid to watch commercials like this, he would definitely not work in the card hall.

After a few rounds of programs + commercials, it finally came to the start of the race.

Of the two players who played in the first game, he still had a little impression of one of them.

It was the razor-haired boy with No. 45 who was punched OK by the Langtou guard in the dungeon on the first day.

If it weren't for the protection of the dungeon mechanism, he estimated that that punch could directly smash the knife-haired man into a meatloaf.

"Master, who do you think will win?"

"The cards haven't been revealed yet, how can I answer your question?"

Shi Li gave Shrem a supercilious look.

The knife-haired man's opponent is an iron-headed man.

He was dressed in a neat suit, but his head was that of a metal robot.

It's a bit like an animated character he liked when he was a child, Gundam.

"This knife-haired man looks like he's not very powerful."

Slime expressed her opinion.

"Remember, you don't judge a book by its cover at the poker table."

"Even if the opponent is a piece of shit, don't take it lightly."

Immediately teach it.

"..., I suspect you are talking about me."

Slime had black lines on her face.

Soon, the two people on the poker table began to reveal their cards.

【Blow~ Blow~ Blow a big balloon~】

[Boom! 】

The first row of cards that the knife-haired man revealed were a [Balloon-Blowing Goblin] and a [Explosive Rock].

[Defense! Defense! 】

[Charge forward! 】

The first row of cards revealed by Gundam's head are a [Shield Warrior] and a [Spear Warrior].

In the first round of action, the knife-headed man chose full [defense].

Gundam head attacked with two cards, knocking out 32.5 of the opponent's health.

"This round, the knife-haired man won."

Just after the round ended, Shi Li spoke abruptly.

"Little brother, it's too early for you to draw this conclusion."

However, before Shrem could ask a question, a blond female audience wearing sunglasses spoke up.

This is none other than the curator of the show.

Because she saw Shi Li, she changed seats with someone else and sat over.

I want to take a closer look at this coach in his own poker hall.

"That's right, master, it's obvious that the two warrior cards are stronger, and now they have the advantage of leading in blood volume."

Slime doesn't know the curator.

Shi Li looked at the curator of the show, and then at Shrem.

Taking advantage of the time when the players on both sides were talking nonsense and thinking about replacing cards, he opened his mouth to explain.

"Knife head man, 2 E-level cards, a total of 45 points, and the remaining three cards are 105 points."

"Gundam head, 1E+1D, a total of 65 points, and the remaining three cards are 85 points."

"A player who can go from 16 to 8 will basically have a few D-grade cards."

"Why do you say that the man with the knife head has two E-ranks as the first reveal?"

This question was thrown to Slime.

"Because he wanted to pretend to be weak?"

Slime guessed.

"Well, there should be reasons for this."

"However, the high probability is because E-level cards are more likely to have low-scoring cards below the average score. He probably wants to fold the cards in the second row and start to exert strength."

Supplement it from time to time.

Director Xiu secretly agreed with this statement, and she thought so too.

However, this kind of judgment is still at a relatively early stage.

"But how can you guarantee that there are no strong cards on the second row opposite?"

"I still think that your conclusion is too early."

So she asked again.

This kind of question is actually a test.

She wanted to see what the current coach would think.

"..."

Originally, Shili didn't want to answer the other party, but he didn't know him anyway.

But seeing Shrem's curious gaze, he could only sigh.

"A 35-point D-grade card [Shield Warrior], a defensive card."

"It shows that the opponent should take the steady route of defense + milk."

Shi Li said so.

Director Xiu directly retorted.

"Cards that are defensively oriented may also take the route of defensive counterattack."

"And putting defensive cards in the first line is a very common panacea play, and it cannot be used as a judgment."

"So I think your thinking has entered a misunderstanding from the beginning."

What she said made Shrem show an approving look.

"If you don't believe me, just watch."

Shi Li spread his hands indifferently.

"In the next round, the man with the blade will most likely reveal an output card."

"And the Gundam head will reveal the healing card."

He made a prediction directly.

After saying this, the two sides just started to unveil their cards.

【Roar! ! 】

As Shi Li predicted, the knife-headed man revealed a piece of [Mutated Wild Boar].

Its projection is an unusually tall wild boar, standing on all fours, its body is a head taller than the two warriors facing it.

It also has some broken weapons stuck on it, like medals proving bravery.

The most important thing is that this is a D-level output card with 40 points.

【Namo Amitabha, you Buddha】

On the other side of Gundam's head, it was a 30-point D-level healing card, [Fake Monk].

"It's really a healing card!"

Obviously, the curator of the show is more concerned about what card is revealed by Gundam's head.

"How did you guess right?"

She looked at Shi Li curiously.

"Yes, Master, you are so amazing, you guessed it right!"

"What is guessing? This is called prejudgment."

Shi Li curled his lips.

"When playing cards, keep your eyes open."

"You can't just look at what's on the table."

"The players who survived the last dungeon match were either lucky (?) or cautious."

"When the dungeon was settled, the Gundam's ranking was very low, 11th."

"It should have been imprisoned for the second time after only going out to collect a wave of spells, and never came out again."

"It shows that he belongs to the category that seeks stability."

"And he let [Shield Warrior], who is a defensive card, attack in the first round, which explains two problems."

"1. His deck lacks output, so he needs to seize the opportunity to output."

"2. He is not afraid of losing blood from his deck, because he will be healed later."

After listening to his explanation, curator Xiu suddenly realized.

At the same time, there was a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Predicting the direction of the poker table is something every poker player will do.

And whether it is done well or not basically represents the level of the player.

As the curator of the card house, she is also barely a good player in predicting.

But take the current round even if it is a simple 4+1.

To ask her to give such a specific prediction, she has no confidence.

After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and the cards are also covered. Who can guarantee that they can say accurately about this kind of thing.

But the tone of this coach was steady and calm throughout the whole process, appearing so determined and confident.

Especially the sentence "you can't just look at the table when you play cards", which made her feel that the opponent is indeed a talent.

Good at thinking and good at observing.

The key is to know how to use external factors as the basis for judgment.

No wonder Secretary He always praised the poker skills of this current coach.

It's simply that there are card skills in card skills, and card skills in car skills.

(It seems that our card shop may have hope this year...)

Thinking of this, her mood immediately improved.

However, the fact that only Shi Li himself knows is that the matter is not so mysterious at all.

Even if he can predict, this kind of thing is not 100% hit.

The reason why he dared to be so sure was actually another reason.

This is as tall as his head, just like himself, he came from the preliminaries.

Because of its appearance, he paid a little more attention to the other party.

This guy had exactly the same deck in the 4+1 rounds of the 5th and 6th rounds of the preliminaries and the first 2 rounds of the dungeon.

To put it bluntly, Gundam Head is just a chicken.

In such a game, if you can't predict yourself, you don't have to mix it up.

The final result was exactly as he said, the two output cards in the second row of the knife-haired man played together, and Gundam's deck was all E-level cards except for [Shield Warrior] and [Fake Monk].

He lost the game without even revealing the opponent's trump card.

After the end of the first game, there was another program + commercials that lasted nearly an hour.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Director Xiu and One Person One History got close.

"Little brother, I think you seem to have a pretty good understanding of the game."

"Are you engaged in a related occupation? I don't know where to get a job?"

"My master is the coach of the Xiu Pai Pavilion, have you heard of the Xiu Pai Pavilion!"

Before Shi Li answered, Shrem took the initiative to report it for him.

"The coach of the card hall? That's really amazing."

The curator of the show pretended to be surprised.

"It's nothing. Actually, it's not a very good job. I'm planning to resign recently."

Shi Li shook his head humbly.

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with your work?"

Curator Xiu's heart tightened secretly.

If the other party is really dissatisfied with the card hall, she should take the opportunity to find out.

Don't wait to lose such a talent, it will be a big loss!

"Well……"

However, when faced with this question, Shi Li pondered.

"Is it because of dissatisfaction with the salary?"

So curator Xiu asked.

The operating conditions of their card halls are indeed not very good, so the wages are not as good as those of the big chain halls.

"no."

Shi Li shook his head again, causing Director Xiu to frown slightly.

She looked at the other party's young age, and it was not impossible for him to have any recognition of life, social terror or the like.

And she, the supervisor of the coaching staff, also knows what kind of peeing is. For example, the guy who puts up the middle finger at every turn, doesn't change no matter how many times he says it.

So she asked again.

"Is that a problem in the workplace? Being squeezed out by colleagues?"

"no."

"The card shop is too far away from home, is it inconvenient to commute?"

"no."

"Can't see the future development prospects?"

"No."

"Is there any other card shop offering you better conditions?"

"neither."

Shi Li's continuous denials made curator Xiu confused.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons why employees want to resign.

Either the money is too low, or the work is not happy.
