Chapter 375 Texas Hold'em!
Despite Tim's statement being accompanied by a smile, the provocation was quite obvious.
If he disagreed, Tim would definitely find other ways to pick a fight.
So Ryder didn't refuse. "Since you insist, I'll play along. But I've never been to this place and don't know much about the games..."
Hearing that Ryder was going to agree, Tim certainly wouldn't let Ryder back down.
So he put on a very generous attitude. "You can choose the game and play what you're best at."
Upon hearing this, Ryder pondered for a few seconds, then replied, "I don't know much else. How about Texas Hold'em?"
Hearing this response, Tim was first stunned, then couldn't help but laugh. "Ryder, did I hear you right? You want to play Texas Hold'em?"
Ryder asked with interest, "Is there a problem?"
"Of course not." Tim said with a smile, feeling even more scornful of Ryder in his heart.
Under Tim's lead, Ryder arrived at a poker table.
The three participants in Texas Hold'em were Ryder, Tim, and the plump lady Ava.
Quite a few curious onlookers gathered around.
However, according to casino rules, these spectators were required to stand at a certain distance and couldn't directly see the players' cards.
Otherwise, there could be collusion and cheating.
As for the fairness at the table, it was overseen by a tall female dealer dressed in a sailor outfit.
The dealer took out a freshly opened deck of cards.
She showed it to the three players at the table, confirmed there were no issues, and then said, "Gentlemen, you can set the stakes now."
Tim proactively suggested, "Ryder, you're the big boss now, with plenty of money. So how about we play a bit bigger?"
Ryder smiled calmly. "Feel free."
Tim's face lit up. "Great. How about we set the minimum bet at $100,000?"
Ryder looked indifferent. "No problem."
Tim was excited.
He knew that Ava was on good terms with him, making it essentially a two-against-one situation, and he couldn't imagine how he could lose.
While he was feeling smug, Ava whispered, "Tim, I haven't played much Texas Hold'em before. Will I be a hindrance to you?"
Tim wouldn't dare say yes.
Of course, he smiled and replied, "Ava, you're the best. Just play however you like, as long as you're having fun."
Charmed by this, Ava couldn't help but touch Tim's thigh, teasing, "After tonight's event, I'll have sex with you."
Tim couldn't help but shiver, showing an awkward smile, feeling a bit troubled inside.
After tonight's sex, he might be very exhausted.
Once the rules were set, Ryder and the others started the Texas Hold'em game.
At first, all three were cautious and not very aggressive.
They played 7 hands.
Ryder won 1 hand, Ava won 2 hands, and Tim won the remaining 4 hands.
Looking at the 6 red chips in front of him, each representing $600,000 in cash, Tim was ecstatic.
Usually, after a month of hard work, he could only earn a few thousand dollars at most.
In less than half an hour, he had won $600,000.
Tim laughed and said to Ryder, "Ryder, your luck tonight is a bit off. The $1 million in chips Mr. Davis gave you is now less than half."
Ryder sighed, showing a very helpless expression. "Oh well, I guess I'm just not that good. Sorry to disappoint."
Tim waved his hand. "Not at all. This is just the beginning, your luck will turn soon. But honestly, a $100,000 minimum bet is a bit dull, how about we double it to $200,000?"
He said this while looking at Ryder with a probing gaze.
He was worried Ryder might back out, but Ryder didn't even think about it and nodded. "Whatever you say, it's all about having fun."
"Deal." Tim's smile widened, cursing Ryder as an idiot inwardly, continuing despite the possibility of losing.
As for the surrounding spectators, everyone envied Tim, imagining how wonderful it would be to have such a wealthy friend; he was like a golden goose.
So, the Texas Hold'em game continued.
However, before the next round started, Ryder took out his phone, searched for some background music for the game, and played it, explaining with a smile, "It feels better with some music."
To this, Tim just cursed Ryder as a tasteless bumpkin secretly but didn't object.
However, what Tim didn't expect was that from this round on, things started to go a bit awry.
Ryder's cards just got a lot better.
After 10 hands, Ryder won more than he lost this time.
Not only did he recover the money he had lost, but he also won an additional $800,000.
"What the hell is going on?" Tim asked.
Tim was unwilling to accept it.
They played another 5 hands.
This time, Ryder won all 5 hands.
Tim lost a total of $1 million.
Now, Tim was completely dumbfounded.
Sweat was dripping from his forehead.
Why did it seem like Ryder could see through his cards?
Every time he was targeted?
"Ryder, are you cheating?" Tim couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a deep voice.
