Chapter 21 Card Game
Originally, there should have been no intersection between the two, but recently Link has become famous in New York. Tony Stark came to New York to check the progress of Stark Tower.
Of course, some business collaborators still needed to meet, and Pepper Boz directly arranged a cocktail party.
They talked about playing cards and mentioned Link, a master who has recently become famous.
Tony Stark then remembered the guy who won five million from him, and he immediately asked about Link's phone number.
Link had participated in a lot of card games before, involving varying amounts of money. Those gamblers had the best chance of winning, and there were a lot of them, so they were easily fooled.
Technical rounds often win the least, and Link needs to design traps to win more.
This time Tony Stark told him on the phone that the card game would be big, but Link never thought he would lose. Anyway, he was the one signing the check in the end, and he didn't need to bring cash with him.
Jessica looked at Link in surprise and asked, "Is it really Stark?"
"Of course, didn't I tell you?" Link said with a smile, "I won five million from him."
"I'm so surprised!" Jessica was shocked.
…
The two went out for dinner the next day. Link sent Jessica back and then picked out his own clothes, shirts, ties, cufflinks, watches, and leather shoes.
At the same time, he carried his own weapons and covered them with his suit jacket. Link brought a checkbook and three cigars.
"How's it going?" Link turned and looked at Jessica and asked.
"Awesome!" Jessica helped Link straighten his tie, "But don't care too much about winning or losing."
"Don't worry, Stark is no match for me." Link gave Jessica a reassuring look.
I drove downstairs and drove all the way to a large hotel where special rooms were provided.
"Mr. Stark!" After Link entered, he saw Tony Stark, "Didn't expect you to come so early?"
"Of course, I'm the challenger this time, so I won't be late." Tony Stark invited Link to sit aside, "What do you want to drink?"
"Bourbon!" Link then took out a cigar, "I learned a lot last time in Las Vegas, cigars and bourbon!"
"Yes, you have to learn to enjoy life, but I heard that you made playing cards your career?" Tony Stark asked: "And you haven't lost so far?"
"I haven't lost yet, but if I participate in an international competition, I don't have enough confidence." Link looked modest. "After all, I still lack experience in this kind of professional competition."
"Maybe I'll try it in the future, everyone there is professional."
"You may not be able to beat me today." Stark raised his eyebrows, "There will be two more people in a while, one is a director of the bank, and the other one I know is Justin Hammer."
"Mr. Hammer, are you still willing to play cards with us?" Link's expression was a little strange.
"Haha~" Tony Stark laughed, "He is a person who refuses to admit defeat."
The tone was all joking, and he was probably instigated by Stark again.
Soon, the other two people arrived, and Justin Hammer refused to admit defeat and said to Link: "Today is playing thirteen cards, and I will not lose again."
"As long as you like it." Link responded with a smile.
Tony Stark sat down and said: "Ten thousand dollars each, doubling it is normal, ten million chips, no problem, right?" "No problem." All three said there was no problem.
Then the hotel staff was responsible for dealing the cards. Link still lost first and then won, but this time he didn't lose much at first, and then he won big.
This method of playing is actually similar to Texas Hold'em. Each player has thirteen cards, and a deck of cards is thrown away.
Then the cards are played, and whoever plays them out first wins. The size of the card playing rules is calculated according to the rules of Texas Hold'em.
Everyone else loses tens of thousands of dollars depending on how many cards they have left.
Link drank bourbon and smoked cigars, winning easily.
Tony Stark asked curiously: "Can you still use psychology here?"
"Of course, but this is a secret." Link smiled mysteriously, "If I tell it now, how can I win?"
"Yes!" Tony Stark nodded slightly.
Link said while playing his cards: "I just asked the accounting firm to buy Stark Industries' stock yesterday. Will it appreciate in value recently?"
"Ha~ This is a wise decision." Stark smiled, "You won't lose money anyway."
"I think so too. After all, tax filing season is coming soon, and I need to prepare in advance." Link said, "I am a little hasty this time. After all, I am a poor person who suddenly becomes rich."
"I think you can handle this situation very well." Stark had a good impression of Link.
This kind of gameplay is actually not small, because there is a doubling rule. Link won more than 10 million in two hours, which was almost half of the three people's chips.
After taking a short break, it was time to go to the toilet, but Link didn't need to, so he ate some snacks here.
It ended before midnight, and Link became the biggest winner again. After receiving three checks, Link gave the waiter a tip of 500 yuan.
Tony Stark then said in admiration: "You are so powerful. There is no hope of winning in playing cards with you."
"Can we talk now?"
The other two people were also curious, and Link said: "After you three pick up the cards, when you sort them out, the flaws will be the biggest. You will have to understand the rest."
Stark frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Are you judging based on our actions and eyes?"
"Almost, and you need to count the cards. I have thirteen cards in my hand. Based on your actions, I can estimate what cards you have in your hands and how to combine them." Link's words surprised the three of them. OK?
But genius is difficult to understand. Stark said: "It is indeed amazing. If you are so awesome, you still don't dare to participate in the competition?"
"I can only be considered a dabbler now. For those professionals, I may not be able to think of anything they can think of, and it's even harder to find their flaws." Link said, "I still need to hone it. What I like most now is the technical game. "
"There are many elites in New York, and they all have their own ideas. They are all good opponents."
…
After the card game ended, Justin Hammer was quite happy because Tony Stark also lost. The two were tied twice and both were losers.
He has been teasing Tony Stark, but Tony Stark is not the one above, and he plans to go back and use Jarvis to summarize.
As for the bank director, he had no interest in Link and had been looking for topics with Stark.
