I guess, for people like him, if gamble freely, he’ll bet the chips more than one thousand once a time.

I shrug my shoulders: “How much bets don’t really matter. The more we gamble, the more fun will be? You just want to win them, but you don’t care how much you win.”

Minister Kim is speechless. Winson is staring at me with a grin and suddenly saying: “You words sound to be a little reasonable…”

“Not a little, but a lot.” I laugh and say, “Everyone likes gambling. In fact, it is just like the truth of playing chess. Gambling for win and lose, playing chess for win and lose too. Does the king of chess have to bet a lot of money on every game for get interesting?”

“A thousand, that’s it!” Minister Kim is rubbing his hands and patting the table, “I don’t care how much money, as long as Chen Yang can win both of you, I’ll be very satisfied!”

Winson smiles bitterly: “I don’t care. I’m your guest too. Guest just follows whatever you want.”

Mr. Park talks with Minister Kim for a few words. The guy gives me a very complicated look with a rather impatient expression, but reluctantly agrees for sake of Minister Kim’s face.

The Dealer can’t help saying: “Well… Gentlemen, if your gambles are too little, it’s hard for us to do that.”

Minister Kim looks at her impatiently: “I know, you need to take the commission, how much we need to pay, you just directly deduct from my member account!”

Then he’s shouting: “Deal! Just deal!” Then his face is excited, and eyes are hot.

That dealer looks helpless. Maybe she has never seen such a small bet in such a top casino. She looks at the professional poker cards in her hand. This kind of poker card is specially designed and manufactured for casinos. Every deck is worth several hundreds of monies.

“Show hand! Show hand! I want to beat them all!” Minister Kim is shouting. But them he looks at me awkwardly, “Well, I’m waiting for you to beat them all for me.”

I sigh.

Actually, I’m helpless too.

Don’t I want to play bigger? Like in the movie God of gambling, millions of chips pushing out. Is that scenery? Is that arrogance?

But… I dare not.

If I lose, I would lose Nanny’s money. I’m already very embarrassed. Let me lose millions more. Don’t I need to owe her more?

If I win, that would be even worse! Today is not my fortune luck’s day! Forced use of the ring to win, the side affect next will be enough for me to be unlucky! The more I win, the more side effects I would have!

So, I’m trying to make the bet smaller. In this way, when the side effects of anti-phagocytosis, the end will not be too miserable!

Dealer has begun to shuffle and deal cards. Each of four men is sent a pile of chips, but ridiculously, in this high-end VIP compartment, we are using the lowest value of the small chips. Ten chips per person with one thousand value totally.

We play the show-hand.

The first round, everyone throws a chip out, and then I don’t look at my hidden card at all. The other open card is a red heart K, which is quite big. But this round, Winson’s open card is the biggest. He has a spade A.

His face is calm. I can’t see any ups and downs from his eyes, not even a change of expression. He casually throws out a chip. Others all follow.

There’s nothing to say in the middle. Everyone insists to get the fifth card. But the situation is somewhat complicated now.

Winson’s open cards are a pair of ‘A’ and with two single cards. The hidden card is most likely to have three ‘A’, or a pair of ‘A’ plus another pair.

Minister Kim has bad luck in this round. His open cards are from 8 to K, which is not enough to get the straight. He even hasn’t a pair. Even if his hidden card is ‘K’ to make up a pair of ‘K’, but also no bigger than Winson’s. So, he just simply folds.

Nongda Park’s eyes are shinning. His open cards are a pair of 8 and a pair of 9. This is interesting. Because if his hidden card is 8 or 9, he can win Winson’s for sure. Even just this two pairs, he still has a pretty big chance to win.

And my cards look beautiful. Four cards are 10, J, Q, K, all in red hearts!

Winson looks at my cards and laughs: “It’s a good card. Is it the red heart straight? But the red heart 9 is in Mr. Park’s hand, unless your hidden card is the red heart A. Otherwise, even if you have a straight, but not in same suit, Mr. Park is likely to win you with three plus a pair.”

He’s squinting: “I remember you haven’t seen the hidden card yet. Do you have the skill of card remembering?”

I laugh and say: “Have you already had a pair of A’s? You say it so confident, is your hidden card is the red heart A? So, you’re sure mine is not the red heart straight?”

I laugh calmly.

I don’t look at the hidden card for two reasons.
