Chapter 837 Mr. Walter

"I won!" A man in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up put all the cards in his hand on the table, and then smiled and took all the chips on the table into his arms. Win a hundred and fifty-five dollars.

After several discussions in the process of drawing on the theocracy, the empire finally left a clause prohibiting gambling. But in fact, what this clause really restricts is the kind of public gambling. For a few people to find a private place to play cards in private, it doesn't matter if there is a little bit of winning or a little bit of winning or losing. No one will take the initiative to report themselves, or report those who participated in the gambling game.

A not very well-known sociologist believes that "hatred sprouts in jealousy". Without jealousy, no one will meddle in their own business and report their neighbors unless you let his interests be damaged.

Walt frowned and slammed the cards in his hand on the table. Everyone has long been accustomed to such acts of anger. His sleeves were also rolled up, and he poured less than two ounces of wine into his mouth in one gulp from a glass filled with ice cubes, then tilted his head and lit a cigarette.

He had already lost all afternoon, and as a qualified gambler, he felt that he would be able to win back all the losses he had lost before, so he still sat at the gambling table.

The gentleman sitting across from him glanced at the chip box in front of Walter, and then glanced back at the young man who was sitting on a sofa looking at the tape. The young man immediately stood up and went to the box where the chips were placed and took out two hundred yuan. Chips of different denominations were sent to Walt, "The third box, sir."

Walter took the chips from the young man with some irritability, took out the remaining chips in the small chip box in front of him, and replaced them.

The ante of the game is two dollars. Although there is a rule of a maximum of fifty dollars per game, sometimes no one will say anything if you bet a little more, especially a "friend" like Walt who has lost a lot of money. Give him a chance for revenge. He took a few puffs of cigarettes and saw that the player on the left was shuffling the cards. He stood up, said "I'm going to wash my face", lifted his belt and walked into the bathroom.

One afternoon, he lost the 500 yuan he brought, and owed 600 yuan. The huge loss made him a little uncomfortable, and he felt blocked. Ever since he rolled 2,000 yuan madly once, his luck seemed to run out all of a sudden. In the past six months, he won less and lost more intermittently. He rarely asked the person who organized the gambling how much he owed. He was a little afraid that it would be a huge amount. But I have to say that his friend is good. Not only did he organize such a gamble for free, he still hasn’t urged him to repay the money he owed. On the contrary, the other party will lend him money as long as he needs it.

In this impetuous and philistine society, there are not many such good people anymore.

Patting his cheeks that were wet by cold water, looking at himself in the mirror with sunken eye sockets, he smiled self-deprecatingly, then waved his fists to cheer himself up, he was going to win today!

When he returned to the table, the cards had already been shuffled. His next family, a gentleman in his thirties asked him to check the cards. He smiled and shook his head, "We are all friends, there is no need."

Although he said so, the gentleman who was next to him still reshuffled the cards in front of him. Everyone at the gaming table was smoking, which made the place feel a bit smoky. His eyes were fixed on the crossed playing cards until they were thoroughly washed.

Some people play poker more elegantly, to calculate points, add a way to relax, they play more skillfully most of the time,

Computational and mental requirements are better. But there is also a kind of game, just like Mr. Walter's game. The method of playing is relatively simple. Use the cards in everyone's hands to compare the size of the public cards on the table. It is easy to understand, and even those who don't know how Learn in no time.

There are multiple stages in the game, and this is also the stage where everyone bets or chooses to give up. The ante is only two yuan, but many times when it comes to deciding whether to win or lose, there are often dozens or even hundreds of dollars on the table.

Mr. Walter threw the minimum bet chips on the table as an ante bet, and then the winner of the previous game began to "labor", one by one cards were distributed to the hands of each participant, and Walter looked at the cards in his hands and breathed A little rushed.

This is a good hand. From the point of view of the hand alone, he is almost the biggest one. When he saw the community card again, he felt that he was sure to win the game! The chances of such a big name appearing are very rare, and sometimes it may only appear two or three times in seven or eight hours in a game of gambling.

He tensed his face, making it look like he had a bad hand, and even frowned. Instead, the gentleman sitting across from him had a smile on his face.

"Wow, beautiful sorting, I'm lucky." He didn't seem to care at all that he had exposed the size of his cards. Mr. Walter glanced up at him and squeezed out a smile.

He laughed and said, "Then we can completely throw away the cards, because you are sure to win."

The person opposite seemed to really think so, he nodded in agreement and said, "Perhaps this is the best choice."

Walt threw a five-yuan chip on the table calmly. When he first came into contact with this kind of game, he really believed it, but several times he found that other people did not have any good cards at all, and they were completely cheating him. , he foolishly stuffed the biggest card in the game into the deck. Since then, he has gradually understood that sometimes the decisive victory of the game is not on the table.

Have you ever heard something similar?

That's right, the decisive victory is outside the courtroom, which shows the same truth, and indirectly reflects the nature of society.

"It seems that Mr. Walter doesn't believe..." The person who won just now shook his head, and he also dropped a chip, "I don't believe it either, the cards in my hand are not bad, maybe I'm bigger! "

The player on the opposite side laughed again, and he directly picked up a ten-yuan chip and threw it on the table, "We all think our cards are better, why don't you let us have more fun?"

Then, in the process of suspension betting again and again, each player put 80 chips on the table, and it seemed that everyone felt that they had the biggest card. When the last community card was dealt, Mr. Walter breathed a sigh of relief. The cards in his hand were very high. If nothing else happened, he should have won this round. As a victor, besides his money, there is still two hundred and forty yuan on the table, not to mention winning back what he lost just now, there are many more. It made him very happy, and winning money always seemed to be a happy thing.

The expression of the poker player sitting opposite him became serious. He sighed and put down the cards in his hand. It was indeed a good hand. He would definitely win at other times, but not this time! The person who won his money in the previous hand also put down the cards, which were bigger than the cards in the hands of Mr. Walter opposite. When he opened his arms happily and prepared to take the chips back, Mr. Walter took his own The cards are placed on the table.

His biggest, he lit a cigarette in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, I can't always clear my chips fast enough." As he reached out to grab the chips, he went home The player, the guy who didn't say a word this round put the cards down, and Mr. Walter glanced at them, and the hand that went to get the chips froze in the air.

He lost!

...

It is normal to win and lose in gambling. Mr. Walter knew this long ago, but today he lost again. The principal of 500 yuan plus the five chips taken this time is 1,000 yuan.

The 1,500 yuan was lost cleanly. Sitting in the car, he slammed the steering wheel hard, and the car also honked harshly.

Standing on the balcony and watching Mr. Walter drive away, the three of them sat down, and the gentleman who organized the game took out 400 yuan from his pocket and gave them to the other two players respectively, "This is You deserve it, you can do nothing wrong, and don’t forget to come here on time on Wednesday.” The two nodded happily and took the money in their hands and left. The gentleman who organized the game glanced at the clock and ordered: “Play Call our friends, and the next game will start in fifteen minutes!"

Mr. Walter, who drove back home, sighed when he parked in the garage. After he put on his clothes and let himself smile, he didn't seem to have such a heavy heart before he took the key and opened the door.

"Walt?", just as he entered the door, he heard his wife's gentle voice from the living room. This voice made him feel guilty, and his heart was inexplicably more irritable, not just because of losing money.

He took off his shoes, answered, changed his shoes and walked into the living room, looking at his wife with her back to him, packing up some small decorations, such as framed photos and souvenirs that were given by others or bought by himself over the years some type of. The last time this happened was when they moved here, are they going to move again?

He walked behind his wife and watched her play with these things, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? Don't you like them?"

Her wife didn't look back, she was still packing these things seriously, and replied with a slight smile, "I have changed to a new job and I am leaving Staley. We may live in the north or west."

"Why?" Walt suddenly couldn't accept the news, "Is it not good here? Or are they trying to send you away?"

"What about the house here? And our daughter, what about her studies? I don't think she can quickly adapt to the environment and school over there, can we not go?!"
