Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

There are three main points in Texas Hold'em. The last one, and the most important one, is:

"Card skills!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly slammed the table with a loud "bang" and stood up suddenly.

The sudden loud noise scared Hirasawa Yui, who was about to peek at Tianzhong Ritsu's cards, so much that she quickly lowered her head, trying to hide her little action.

"Xiao Jing, if you want to play cards, play well. Look how scared you are of the kid."

Sawako Yamanaka looked helpless and reached out to push the emotional Shizuka Hiratsuka back into her chair.

She had seen many people playing cards, but this was the first time she had seen someone like Shizuka Hiratsuka who was so startled and scared people at every turn.

"Sawako, don't say that I don't respect you, your student. You are facing the winner of the '2024 Hokkaido No-Limit Online Draw Championship'."

Shizuka Hiratsuka put her hands on her hips and proudly boasted about her brilliant achievements.

"Nakaritsu, Tsumugi, Mio, Azusa-nyan, do you know what kind of competition Shizuka Hiratsuka is talking about?"

Hirasawa Yui listened to Hiratsuka Shizuka's long string of professional terms, and her mind was suddenly confused.

So he cast inquiring glances at his friends around him.

“Never heard of it.”

The four girls who were asked questions by Hirasawa Yui looked confused and shook their heads.

They rarely play playing cards, and this is their first time playing Texas Hold'em.

If you ask them about rock music competitions, they can definitely talk about it for half a day.

But they know nothing about Texas Hold'em.

"Xiao Jing, you're not being cheated, are you? Isn't winning an online competition purely based on luck?"

Yamanaka Sawako was not like these naive students who were intimidated when they heard that she was the champion.

She has also been working in society for many years and knows that any competition held online will be too watered down.

"It's not luck, Sawako, it's card skill!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka had a serious look on her face and was carefully correcting Yamanaka Sawako's point of view.

Luck? You're kidding!

Playing cards all depends on perfect strategy and ultimate operation.

Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was talking about the profound knowledge of Texas Hold'em with a serious face,

Yamanaka Sawako secretly sighed in her heart. After being together for so long, this was the first time she realized that her friend was so naive, even a little stupid...

"Alright, alright, Xiaojing, let's have a go first."

Yamanaka Sawako knew in her heart that it was impossible to persuade Hiratsuka Shizuka to turn back.

It would be better if a few people teamed up to beat her a few times, so that she could experience for herself how valuable the championship really is.

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked calm and composed. She rubbed the cards in her hand slowly, took a quick glance at them, and quickly covered them.

Then, she pushed all 10,000 chips out and said casually, "All in."

This all-in attitude from the beginning really shocked the five girls in the band.

They looked at each other, unsure of whether they should follow suit and place the bet.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a hand slowly reached out and spread out five thousand chips on the table. At the same time, a voice came: "In that case, I'll bet all in, too."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found out it was Shin-chan.

"Huh? Shin-chan, why are you here?"

Yamanaka Sawako had a puzzled look on her face and looked at Shin-chan standing beside her in confusion.

"Oh, because Xiaoxue, Eriri, and Hui all disliked my good luck and didn't want to play with me, so I had to come here."

Xiaoxin shrugged and explained helplessly.

The girls present all knew that Shin-chan was incredibly lucky.

Playing cards with him is like giving away chips, so naturally everyone avoids him.

"But there are already six of us here."

The referee, Yamanaka Sawako, looked at the five girls in the band plus Hiratsuka Shizuka, saying that the number of people had reached the maximum limit of the game, and said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, just come on, I'm just trying to see if you have good luck and I have good card skills."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked disdainful and waved her hand nonchalantly, motioning Shin-chan to come to the table.

The other five girls in the band also nodded and agreed to Xiaoxin's joining.

Seeing that the two players in front of him had gone all in, Hirasawa Wei followed suit and pushed all his chips out without hesitation.

"Hehe, in that case I'll go all in."

"Wei, are you crazy? You are the lowest high card, and you dare to go all in!"

Tianzhong Ritsu widened his eyes and looked at Hirasawa Yui in disbelief.

"Jung-ryul, how can you look at my cards? That's immoral!"

When Pingze Weiyi heard this, he immediately became angry and condemned his good friend in dissatisfaction.

"Come on, didn't you peek at my cards first? Do you think I'm stupid and don't know your little tricks?"

Tianzhong Ritsu rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Just now, Hirasawa Yui was frantically moving towards her, trying to peek at her cards, and almost pushed her off the chair.

"Hey, I...didn't I see that?"

Hirasawa Yui thought her peeping skills were flawless, but they were easily seen through. She scratched her head and smiled foolishly in embarrassment.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Are you guys going to follow me?"

Seeing that a few people were still chatting, Shizuka Hiratsuka interrupted them.

"Discard."

The remaining four people looked at their cards and were unsure. After hesitating for a while, they decisively chose to throw away the cards in their hands and surrender.

"Three Qs, three stripes."

Shizuka Hiratsuka proudly took out three cards and threw them out.

"Hey, Jing, your cards are really good. I don't even have a pair."

Xiaoxin showed his cards helplessly: A, 3, 5, 7, 9, which looked very ordinary indeed.

"It was just the smallest high card, and I won. I'll tell you, luck is not worth mentioning at all. The most important thing is the card skills."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Shin-chan's cards and couldn't help laughing.

Even if it’s Xiaoxin, don’t think you can beat me in Texas Hold’em!

"Hey, wait, this looks like a flush."

Sawako Yamanaka curiously uncovered all five cards of Shin-chan, and after a closer look, she discovered that all five cards were of the suit of hearts.

"Really? Shin-chan really has the same suit!"

"No way, are you so lucky?"

The people around exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Oh, so I have a flush. Is a flush really that powerful?"

Xiaoxin looked at the surprised expressions of the people around him and nodded as if he understood.

At this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but laugh out of anger.

“My card skills are terrible!”

She spends all day online studying various Texas Hold'em teaching videos and participating in various competitions in chess and card games.

Unexpectedly, the champion card skills that he was so proud of even lost to someone who didn't even know the same suit of cards.

This is just a shitty card skill! It's better to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha...

It seems that the most important thing about Texas Hold'em is luck...
