I was struck by the chairman's ambush--I decided to play poker for the first time in three months.

I and the chairman pinch a desk, face each other and sit down.

"The rules are the same as for regular poker. You play normally (...) and win the first three wins, but you have to switch dealers after every game-something Do you have any questions? "

"No, it's okay."

When I nodded, she offered Trump a mountain.

"Fufu, I'll give you the first move."

"……Is that ok?"

"Well, I got you to take all of these conditions. If you don't do this, you'll be unfair."

"Yes, thank you-"

That's why I picked up the deck and shuffled it lightly a couple of times-dealt five cards to each other.

"... I see, I'm changing one."

"here you are"

"Thank you"

After exchanging one card, the chairman loosened his mouth a little.

Apparently you got a good hand.

"I'm okay with this (...). By the way ... how many cards will Allen change?"

Chairman laid his five cards on his desk and laughed confidently.

"No, it's okay with (...)

I said so with a smile without ever looking at the card at hand.

"That's right ... I'm not very bullish ..."

She was slightly upset, but she soon regained her temper-extended her hand.

"My role is 'flash' ... hey! Allen-kun, show me your hand!"

"Yes, of course"

Then I flipped over my cards one by one from the right.

Ten of spades.

Jack of spades.

Queen of spades.

King of spades.

"U, lie ... right?"

And the last one is of course-the ace of spades.

"This was a surprise ... Royal straight flush."

First, one win.

I got off to a good start.

"Well, I've been working on it suddenly ... what kind of hand did you use ...?"

"Ah, I was just lucky."

Then I didn't notice anything ( ) ( ) ( ) pretend ( ) ― ( ) ― Shotgun shuffle three times in my hand I went quickly.

"...?!?"

At that moment, the chairman's face turned blue.

……………….

Then I handed her playing cards, pretending to be calm.

"-Please, next is the dealer's turn."

"Oh, Allen-kun ... You ...?!?"

When she received the deck with her trembling hand, she stared at her.

"What's happen?"

"No, nothing ..."

-After that, the chairman began to bite his lower lip and deal out cards with a regrettable expression-the second round began.

Looking at the five cards handed out-it was 2, 3, 4, 7, 7, 7.

(It's a pair of seven .... It's not impossible to see the straight ... but here it's the Anpai that's aiming for the three cards.)

The chairman's material ( ) has been destroyed.

And my dealer's turn still remains two more times.

This is not the time to rush the game.

"Please change three cards"

"... Oh, please."

Play a few cards and receive three new cards from the chairman.

As a result, my hand became a 7,7,7,7,8,10 three card.

(OK, not bad)

The probability that five randomly selected cards become “three cards” is about 2%.

This role is quite strong in poker with one hand exchange.

If you do it normally, you will almost never lose.

Afterwards, the chairman exchanged a single card-he extended his hands.

The hand is seven three-card, and the chairman is two and eight two-pair-my win.

"It looks like it's a little bit today."

"..."

The chairman, who was upset by the plan, expressed a painful expression.

"Let's go to the next game."

Then I reached out to Trump's mountain.

"Cho, wait a minute!"

"……What'll we do?"

The chairman stopped me.

"Oh, the first Royal Straight Flush ... How did you get that !?"

I guess I knew I would lose if I kept going.

She has just begun exploring squid stories.

"No, nothing (...)"

If I answer honestly,

"Ku ... hey, it's not so terrible to lie to your sister ...!"

She stood up with a disgusted expression and walked over here.

"-Roll around"

"……e?"

"So roll up the sleeves of your clothes! You used to hide cards there before!"

"Ha, huh ..."

As she said, she rolled her uniform and exposed her arms.

Chairman touches my arms with Petapata, making sure that he doesn't hide Trump anywhere.

"Mmmm ... I don't have anything ..."

"That's why I told you ... I didn't really do anything ..."

"That's not true! I'm sure it's hidden somewhere ... yeah.

"No, how do you get the guy hidden in your chest ..."

It is a difficult task to deceive your eyes and take out your card from your chest.

"Oh, that's ... no need to ask!"

That's it, she caught her stomach on her chest--into both pockets, and looked up to see if I had any hidden cards.

But-there is nothing missing.

No matter how much you look for, nothing comes out.

"... Is it alright?"

"Well, uh ... it's just a coincidence ...? No, it can't be ... lol. Isn't a royal straight flush once in my life ... an astronomical probability ...?"

Chairman turned his face blue and muttered something unsteady.

"I'm sorry ... I'm a bit cold if I keep this, can I get my sleeves back?"

"Don't do it! @ Allen-kun releases his eyes a little, and he'll be crazy right away!"

"Huh ... I didn't find anything after all ..."

The moment I sighed.

"... Huh !? I know, I know ......... I didn't put it on my body-here!"

Chairman turned his eyes to the pile of playing cards placed on the desk.

"I don't know how it was prepared ... but I'll do it this way!"

She said, she shotshuffled, and cut the deck again and again.

"Wow, wow, wow ...! This has completely destroyed the preparation! Even with Allen, you can't do anything anymore!"

The chairman pointed at this with a proud face.

"Hahhh ... then can I start?"

"Well, of course. The game starts here!"

"……I agree"

I shuffled the deck quickly, staring at her with warm eyes.

Then dealt five cards to each other-the chairman changed two cards.

And

"……Hooray!"

Possibly a good hand has arrived.

She gripped her fist and cheered.

"--Well, let's spread each other's hands."

The moment I told you, the chairman's expression was solidified.

"Oh, Allen-kun. Don't change the card ...?"

"Well, I'm going to fight with this hand."

"This, 'this hand' .... You haven't seen your card again ..."

The bad memories of the first round may have revived.

She said with a trembling voice.

"Ahaha. I'm deciding to leave all such big games to heaven."

"That's right ... let's take it and stand! My hand is-" Full House! "-Now, show me your hand!"

"Well, then--

Then I slowly turn over the cards arranged in front of me, one by one from the right.

The first one is-ten of spades.

"Just a joke ..."

In a sight like a dejavu, the chairman lost his words.

And then-exactly the same cards appear in exactly the same order as before.

Jack of spades.

Queen of spades.

King of spades.

And of course the last one-Ace of Spades.

"This is a great probability. It's a (...) Royal Straight Flush."

"Wow, my losing ...?"

Three consecutive wins with this.

The revenge match over three months ended up being my overwhelming victory.
