--- Wellston's General Hospital, Room 247 ---
As the hospital was surrounded by calmness, which is something that usually happens in Wellston's General Hospital, which is the perfect condition for patients to have a good recovery from their injuries and sicknesses.
Inside this calmness, there were three people inside the room, who were playing Poker to kill time and making their stay more enjoyable.
Since now it was a one versus one, Remi was the dealer this time.
As John and William started playing, both looked at their respective cards, and both of them did an unconscious smile.
They were so confident in their skills, that neither of them thought for a second that they would lose.
In order to win, they had to make their hands even better than it originally is, psychological factors are some of the things that make Poker unpredictable.
That's how William taught John, and that's how he learned.
But even if William could read John like an open book, that would not be a decisive factor, because the same can be said for him, because John, as he learned how to play he also learned his father's behaviors and patterns, so no one can predict the outcome.
The cards in the community cards were a 6, a 10, and a King.
- "Are you sure you want to keep going, son? I gotta say I have pretty good cards, you know." Said William, exuding confidence.
- "Then you want to check right away? Because I don't think you're winning this." Said John, demonstrating equal confidence in his cards as much as his father does.
- "Nah, I have to give you a handicap, so I'll call." Said William while smiling.
- "Me too. Call." Said John, continuing the game.
Then, the other card, which was a 3.
- "Call." Said William as soon as the card was there.
- "That was fast..." John commented.
*The most likely thing is he's bluffing me... but he has done this before, acting confident, and then he goes in and throws something different.* John was thinking while looking at his father.
At last, the last card, which was a 2.
*I really can't be sure, but it should be the same for him.* He thought before checking the cards.
- "Ready?" Asked John.
- "Yeah." His father answered without any hesitation.
- "Check." Father and son said at the same time.
Both of them showed their cards.
- "6-pair." Said William while showing his cards.
Then, John made a smirk.
- "10-pair, I win." Said John, showing his cards.
- "Uhh... what just happened?" Asked Remi with a confused tone.
- "You seemed like both of you had a Royal Flush or something like that." She commented.
- "That's how we play Poker actually." John answered.
- "Since I can't read him, I just went for a blind bet, I guessed it was the same for him." He explained.
- "Most of the time he's just bluffing, so I just went to the end with it." John commented as if their playstyle was the most normal thing in the world.
