881 The Second Form of Gambling

If they couldn’t win today, she would lose her identity as the lady of the He family. If so, Hong Yuefei would dump her without doubt, and she would lose her title of Mrs. Hong as well.

If she was able to marry into another rich or powerful family, she would do that, but she clearly knew that it was impossible. She had been left no choice before, so she had chosen Hong Yuefei.

Although she was born in the He family, she was always overshadowed by He Siyin who was her older cousin. That was the reason why she was so jealous of He Siyin.

“We will. We will!” He Hongyuan repeatedly said to comfort himself.

“Mr. Fan, you have to win the nine hundred million yuan back in the second form of gambling.” He Hongyuan ordered. Fan Zhihao was displeased hearing that, but didn’t say a word. He was also eager to win, or he would lose his own money.

However, he was still confused why “Tang Aining” was able to be right every time in Sic Bo, which was so strange. It was as if she could see the dice in the dice cup, but he wasn’t willing to believe that.

“I don’t believe that she’s so skilled at every form of gambling!” Fan Zhihao said in a cold voice.

Half an hour later, the two parties went back to the hall. He Hongyuan looked much better after the rest, but he was still in a bad mood.

“Well, now you can choose what form of gambling you want to play next. Let’s roll the dice to see who will choose first,” He Yishao said.

“No problem.”

Gu Ning and Fan Zhihao agreed.

They went to the sides of the gambling table, and rolled the dice on it.

It didn’t matter to Gu Ning who got to choose first, so she casually threw the dice, and the number was 1, while Fan Zhihao’s was 5, so Fan Zhihao chose first.

“I choose 5 card stud,” Fan Zhihao said.

Play began with each player being dealt one card with its face down, followed by one card with its face up (beginning, as usual, with the player to the dealer’s left).

If played with a bring-in, the player with the lowest-ranking up-card must pay the bring-in, and betting proceeded after that.

After the first betting round was complete, another face-up card was dealt to each player. Betting now began with the player whose up-cards make the best poker hand. On this and subsequent betting rounds, the player to act first might check or bet up to the game’s limit.

The second betting round was followed by a third up-card to each player and a third betting round, again starting with the player with the best poker hand showing (thus, the first player to act on each round may change).

A fourth face-up card and fourth betting round was followed by a showdown, if necessary (it usually wouldn’t be – most deals of five-card stud ended early when a player bet and got no calls).

Gu Ning had learned the rules on the Internet before, but she had never played it herself in real life. Luckily, she had Jade Eyes, so she could make decisions after seeing the other person’s cards. She was confident that she wouldn’t lose much.

“Who will win this time?”

“I heard that Fan Zhihao is quite good at 5 card stud.”

“Um, I’m curious whether Miss Tang is also excellent at 5 card stud.”

“I think Fan Zhihao is more likely to win.”

…

Although Gu Ning had won in Sic Bo, it didn’t mean that people all believed that she could win again. Most people thought that she couldn’t be so good at every form of gambling.
