Zhang Yong's card reading skills had significantly improved.
In fact, if there were no marks on the cards, Yang Yi's memory wouldn't serve much of a purpose, and in games like Texas Hold'em, winning is more about reading cards.
It's about analyzing what cards a player has from their expressions and small movements; this relies more on observation skills. Yang Yi's memory could only help him remember each opponent's little movements, giving him a slight edge over Zhang Yong but not a decisive one.
By now, Zhang Yong had become quite formidable in card games, especially in Texas Hold'em.
Being formidable didn't mean winning every hand; if that were the case, there would be no more gambling. Who would want to bet against someone who only wins and never loses? They wouldn't even be allowed in a casino.
So, a skilled player wins when they can and folds decisively when they can't. Those who rely on luck and go all-in when they get a strong hand are often the ones who lose the most.
