When Chow Yun-fat starred in a movie called 'God of Gamblers,' many people began to realize that poker was an exciting game. Later, a handsome guy named Jack played poker risking his life on the Titanic, and people once again saw the charm of poker.
This often happens with 'celebrities' who frequently appear in movies, gaining attention and popularity, which naturally makes it trendy.
""Poker"" is a card game where you compare the ranks of five cards, with a straight flush being the highest. The game uses a deck of cards containing only the 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A of each suit, totaling 28 cards.
The skills in poker can be summarized into two categories: real and unreal.
Mastering the art of real and unreal is the key to victory. Examples abound of winning hands not getting points and bad hands winning points. The key here is understanding the concept of real and unreal. What is meant by real and unreal in poker? Unreal means not enough, while real means having surplus. Having no cards is unreal, while having cards is real. Being fatigued is unreal, while being alert is real.
The realm of playing cards can be divided into three levels.
The lower level is to ""be real when you need to be real, and unreal when you need to be unreal."" For beginners, assessing the strength of their hole cards as weaker, not knowing the opponent's cards, they only dare to add bets when they have good cards. This is a solid and cautious approach, steadily building and safeguarding their position. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to win big, good cards are hard to earn points, and bad cards result in net losses.
The middle level is to ""be real when you need to be unreal, and unreal when you need to be real."" After playing 5,000 games, your judgment abilities improve, and you can employ this technique. Examples of being unreal when you need to be real include:
1. Turning a pair into three of a kind. Starting with Q9, raising with 9, then raising again with 10, and then you can go all-in. The opponent who dares to call has less than one-tenth chance to win.
2. Turning a pair into two pairs. You have a small pair face up, and the opponent has a big pair face down. You go all-in, and the opponent who dares to call has less than one-fifth chance to win.
3. Having a big pair while the opponent has two small pairs. You go all-in, and the opponent who dares to call has less than one-fifth chance to win.
4. Turning unconnected cards into a straight, but it has to be a natural straight. The opponent who dares to call has less than one-fifth chance to win.
5. Having no cards but judging that the opponent also has no cards, you can make a preemptive bet.
6. Pretending to be experienced even if you are a novice. You can tell your friends, ""Oh, I lost 700,000 yesterday."" This way, there will be fewer people trying to steal from you.
Examples of being real when you need to be unreal include:
1. Having three of a kind and not raising too much. Slowly call until the end and then go all-in.
2. Having two pairs and making it look like you have one pair. Don't raise too much.
3. Having a guaranteed winning hand and not raising until the 5th card is revealed, allowing the opponent to raise first before you counter-raise.
4. Using a different alias when playing cards. Don't use your usual alias with thousands of games.
5. Keeping yourself fresh and pretending to say, ""I'm really tired. I've been playing for two nights.""
The highest level is to ""be unreal, unreal, real, real."" When you reach this realm, it's like soaring freely in the sky, leaving no traces behind. You'll have to experience this realm for yourself. You simply mix and apply the concepts of ""be real when you need to be real, and unreal when you need to be unreal"" and ""be real when you need to be unreal, and unreal when you need to be real.""""
