At this elite room, the symbol of wealth and riches, a new gamble will begin!!! Jose and Antonio didn't say anything and continued to listen to Yanlei. Seeing the two of them is still listening, Yanlei took a seat at the nearby table. He signaled Jose to have a seat in front of him and he did the same.

"So what are we going to do?"

Jose finally threw the question! In front of this question, Yanlei smirked a little then answered it:

"We're going to play an original game made by me, Three Hand Poker..."

"Three Hand Poker?"

A new kind of poker! Just what is this Three Hand Poker!?

+++++

Three Hand Poker is an original game developed by one and only Yanlei Magallanes. The dealer will give two cards at the two of them at first, then give them another two cards again, until 15 cards were given to the two of them.

You will have 15 cards and you can build a total of 3 hands in around. You're going to build 3 hands and choose between the 3 of them which of the 3 of them you're going to play. This will broaden your strategy system since you will have 3 choices to make. For the 2nd Round, you will only choose between the 2 hands that you didn't choose earlier. That means that the 3rd Round would be the last hand that you didn't choose for the 1st and 2nd Round. Same procedure for your opponent.

After you choose which you're going to play out of the 3, we're going to enter the play! This is the phase where you'll raise or fold depends on your position. You can call or raise or even fold, depends on what you can do. If you're confident with the hand you chose, you can raise the stakes. Fold if you think you can't defeat the opponent. Same Poker Rules.

You can't discard. Your hand is already decided for 3 Rounds. Three Hand Poker will have 3 sets, in a total of 9 Rounds

After that, the showdown will happen and the strongest hand will win the game! The winner will take all the stakes and bets happened. That's it for the game.

"So did you understand the game? Jose? Basically, this is a game where your hands are already decided and locked by fate... you can't do anything to change it. In normal poker, you can change your trash hand by exchanging it with much useful one. But in Three Hand Poker, you can't do anything of that sort."

The only strategy system you've got is either play your strongest hand at the start or at the middle, then same Poker logic can be applied. But!!! The Three Hands that you've got can't be changed, It's locked!!! Like a chain that could never be unlocked!!!

"I understood the game... but one thing is still not clear... what am I betting on?"

Hearing those words, Yanlei stood up from his seat and approached the curtain at the corner of the room. After approaching it, he removed the curtain and a whiteboard can be seen.

He took a pen and wrote the words "10 years of work will amount to 15 Million Pesos"

"Did you get it? You're going to bet on something more different, that is... your work years."

Work years!!! As Yanlei said, they're going to bet on something far more different! Jose's work years! Jose didn't get it so Yanlei continues to speak.

"If by example, you have bet 10 years Of Work, if you win, I'm going to pay you 10 Million of course. But... if you lose you need to work for 10 years, with no salary..."

Yanlei looked at Jose once and saw his face full of hesitation. As if a man seeing a mountain of treasure at the other side of the cliff, but to get there, he needs to jump towards the cliff. If he reaches the other side, he wins... but if not, he dies.

"It's actually pretty biased and handicapped, you know. Gaining money just by betting your work years, where the hell you will get something like this?"

A pretty good deal, indeed! But...!!! That's only if you lost a little! If you lost at least 10 Million... you will have to work for 10 Years!!! The minimum bet here is, of course, 1 Million or 1 Year Of Work Years.

"If you won, you can choose either to take back your lost work years or reward you with money instead. This is the rules and regulation. Finally, if you caught cheating you will have 20 Million Fine or in work years... at least 20 Work Years and 1 Million is the lowest bet."

Jose didn't hesitate any more and agreed at this gambling... because if he just keeps the bets between 1 Year Of Work Hours, then he will keep the losses low. At worst, he needs to work for a year without salary, but he believes that he can overcome it

"Okay, Yanlei. I'm going to agree with your gamble... Let's start this "handicapped" gambling of yours

"Sure..

In this elite room, riches and high-quality stuff can be found, something just hit Antonio's head... as if he was hit by a sudden bolt of lightning!!! A theory, inspiration

"Wait, Yanlei! Don't tell me... that all of your workers are working for free!

END OF CHAPTER 12 ?"!!."."t.
