Spy-x-War Showdown

Zhang Yong’s card reading skills had significantly improved.

In fact, if there were no marks on the cards, Yang Yi’s memory wouldn’t serve much of a purpose, and in games like Texas Hold’em, winning is more about reading cards.

It’s about analyzing what cards a player has from their expressions and small movements; this relies more on observation skills. Yang Yi’s memory could only help him remember each opponent’s little movements, giving him a slight edge over Zhang Yong but not a decisive one.

By now, Zhang Yong had become quite formidable in card games, especially in Texas Hold’em.

Being formidable didn’t mean winning every hand; if that were the case, there would be no more gambling. Who would want to bet against someone who only wins and never loses? They wouldn’t even be allowed in a casino.

So, a skilled player wins when they can and folds decisively when they can’t. Those who rely on luck and go all-in when they get a strong hand are often the ones who lose the most.

Now, Zhang Yong could make basically accurate decisions every time he played, which allowed him to achieve a 60% win rate. He would bet small when the odds were against him and bet big when the odds were in his favor, always managing to entice opponents with weaker hands to follow. Achieving this win rate was quite remarkable.

Zhang Yong laughed happily as he collected the cigarettes before him. Rodriguez had a distressed face, while Gweil was quite indifferent. Both of them followed through to the end but lost miserably.

There were two winners, Zhang Yong and Hamer Phil, but Hamer Phil was the one who won the most. The acting professor had extraordinary gambling skills.

As for Gweil, a chemist, his mathematical abilities seemed to be applied only to chemistry, and he often lost disastrously in gambling.
