Zongman: Nohara Shinnosuke is about to be chopped off

Chapter 282: A gambling showdown between Rokuka and Futaba!

"Although you may already know the rules, I will briefly explain them again to prevent anyone from forgetting."

Yukinoshita Yukino opened the chips and ten decks of playing cards purchased with the Service Club funds and distributed them to everyone one by one, while patiently explaining the rules of the Texas Hold'em game that was about to be played.

"To put it simply, Texas Hold'em is about comparing the size of cards. Each person will receive five cards from the referee. If the five cards are neither a pair nor a straight, then it is the smallest card type, called a high card.

If there is a pair, it is called a pair; two pairs, it is called two pairs; if there are three identical cards, it is called three of a kind; and then there are straights and flushes. From the literal meaning, everyone should be able to understand what they represent. Okay, everyone... the game begins! "

After Yukinoshita Yukino finished explaining the rules, she picked up her own 10,000 chips and joined the gambling game.

There are three main points in Texas Hold'em, one of which is: observation ability...

Rikka Takanashi just took the five cards that belonged to her from the referee. After taking a secret glance at them, she quickly covered the cards, looking very cautious.

"I raise the bet, cough cough cough~"

Rikka Takanari took out 2000 chips from her own stack and gently pushed them to the table.

Then he deliberately coughed twice, trying to hide his emotions.

"Alas, I fold."

When Futaba Rio saw Rikka Kotori raise the bet, she sighed helplessly and threw the cards in her hand aside.

The 1000 chips in her hand were also pushed in front of Rikka Takanashi.

"Futaba, why do you always fold?"

Sakurajima Mai, who had been observing her friend for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Mai, if I don't fold, and Rikka Kotori raises, I'll have to follow suit, and I'll definitely lose more, so I can only cut my tail and survive."

"Ah? How can you be so sure that you will lose? What if Rikka Takanashi's card is smaller than yours? Wouldn't you win?"

Mai Sakurajima obviously didn't quite understand her friend's thoughts. She didn't understand why Rio Futaba was so sure that she would lose before the cards were even opened.

"Mai, you have to know that playing Texas Hold'em requires strong observation skills. From just now until now, I have played six games with Takanashi Rikka, and I found a flaw in her."

Rio Futaba looked serious and earnestly taught her poker experience to Mai Sakurajima.

"What flaw?"

"Whenever Rikka Takanashi gets a good hand, she will definitely cough."

Futaba Rio leaned close to her friend's ear and whispered her observations.

"Oh! So that's how it is. Now that you mention it, it suddenly occurred to me that she does seem to cough quite often."

After listening to Rio Futaba's explanation, Mai Sakurajima suddenly realized and couldn't help but nodded.

It turns out that Futaba quickly noticed Rikka Takanashi's card-playing habits after just six games. That's amazing!

It’s just a pity that her luck with cards has never been good.

Mai Sakurajima is puzzled by the fact that Rio Futaba always loses.

At the same time, Kato Megumi was also very curious about why Rikka Takanashi always won.

"Lihua, you are amazing. From now until now, you have won 5000 chips. I didn't expect you to be so good at playing Texas Hold'em."

Kato Megumi sat next to Rikka Takanashi and said with an amazed look on her face.

Hearing the compliment, Rikka Takanashi couldn't help but giggle.

"Kato, it's not that I'm awesome, I just found that I seem to have a special ability."

"Special ability? Rikka, you...are you having your chuunibyou attack again?"

Seeing Rikka Takanashi attributing her good luck to her special abilities, Kato Megumi couldn't help but complain.

"No, it's true. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you in a low voice."

Seeing that Kato Megumi didn't believe it, Takanashi Rikka leaned close to her ear and whispered,

"I found that as soon as I cough, the opponent Futaba Rio will automatically discard her cards, and then I will win directly. If this is not a special ability, what is it?"

"It seems really..."

After listening to her explanation, Kato Megumi recalled the scene just now and nodded thoughtfully.

"Look, I'll show you again."

As a new game began, Rikka Takanashi repeated her old trick, took a look at her cards, and then coughed twice while talking about her bets.

"Add 2000, cough cough cough~"

"Ah! Here we go again. Why are her cards so good? I fold."

Futaba Rio was completely depressed. Was her luck with playing cards really that bad?

God gave her a smart mind but not good luck, is that right?
