Without waiting for me to say anything, Isaac and the others used sarcastic words to provoke me, as if they were afraid that I would stop playing.
I pretended to be angry and yelled at my husband, “Just stand by and watch me playing. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll divorce you!”
My husband immediately stopped saying anything, bit his lip and stepped aside with helplessness in his eyes.
I looked back at Isaac, “Let's play according to the new rules you mentioned. The minimum is ten dollars and there is no upper limit!”
“Adela is so open-minded!”
They all gave me a thumbs-up and complimented me on being generous and not being timid and petty like other girls.
I smiled broadly and before starting the new game, I carefully went over the rules of the game with them again.
When we started playing again, I could no longer be the banker, so I relied on a trick to become the banker in the first game with Emmett.
It seemed that I just won ten games in a row and they had become disloyal.
After all, no one could be lucky all the time.
But without evidence, they could not say anything.
What was more, even if women played cards, they basically played basic ones and almost no one knew how to play poker.
Soon, Emmett dealt me three cards.
This time, when it was my turn to speak, I did not remain silent. I took a look at the cards and found that it was a straight of 10JQ.
However, I simply discarded my cards, “I won’t follow.”
“No, Adela, what cards do you have? Why don't you follow?”
Seeing that I chose to fold, everyone at the table was stunned and Emmett was even more astonished.
I smiled and said, “Maybe my luck ran out. The cards are too small.”
Emmett frowned and did not say much. They followed a few rounds casually and then opened the cards. The biggest result was a pair of 9s.
If I did not discard the straight in my hand, I would have the biggest hand.
But I knew that if I continued, I would be the loser in the end.
In the next few rounds, the smallest cards I was dealt were all straight.
Anyway, there were no small cards, basically they were all the same, straight and even good ones.
But I always gave up after taking one look and refused to follow.
“Adela, what's your way of playing? You were excited in the beginning and now you give up every time. It's a bit boring.”
Isaac could not help but say.
I spread my hands and said, “I can't do anything if the cards are small.”
Emmett said in a dissatisfied tone, “If you continue like this, we won't play with you anymore. It's really boring. You should just go play with the girls and let Loren play.”
I quickly bowed with both hands and said, “No, no, no, if the cards are good next time, I will definitely follow.”
Emmett snorted and dealt another round of cards.
I picked up the cards and saw that the largest card was an A, the second was a 10 and the third was a 5.
But I could not help but smile and when it was my turn to speak, I just gave him ten dollars.
“Oh, Adela is playing a big card this time.”
Seeing me smile, Isaac smiled meaningfully and said, “Adela finally got to follow you once, so I'll play with her too.”
As he said that, he followed with ten dollars.
“Me too.”
“Then I'll follow.”
Emmett and the others also chose to follow.
But after two rounds, everyone opened their cards together.
In the end, I actually won.
I won over ten dollars again.
I happily took the money and became the banker to deal the cards.
“Adela, can you shuffle the cards more quickly?”
Seeing that I was clumsy in shuffling the cards and could not shuffle them properly for a long time, Emmett urged me on.
I smiled and said, “I'm sorry, I'm clumsy compared to you guys who are all grown men, please bear with me.”
