茉莉牌局（2017）

但他能自己承担 也必须承担
But he could pay, and had to
因为他接受了不弃底池的谬论
because he embraced the fallacy of being pot-committed.
我全押
I’m all in.
你已经投入了这么多钱
You’ve invested so much,
你也许预料到了结局
you might as well see it through to the end.
抬高 跟注2000元
Move it up, $2,000 to call.
烂布莱德已经为石油期货
Bad Brad had raised 700 million dollars
筹集了70亿美元基金
for a fund that traded oil futures.
每个礼拜 他来到牌局
And every week, he came to the game.
输去十万元 给我五千元小费
Lost $100,000 and tipped me $5,000
这样他在下一周可以继续玩
so he could play the next week.
谢谢你
Thank you.
他并没有越玩越好
He wasn’t getting any better.
大家都在宰他的钱
And the guys were feasting on him.
我能再拿五十个吗
Can I get another fifty?
我们能谈一下吗 -当然可以
Can we talk for a second? -Sure.
布莱德 牌局可能不适合你
Brad, this game might not be for you.
我知道我不是扑克大佬
I know I’m no card shark.
不 你不是
No, you’re not.
这是你十周后的损失
Here are your losses after ten weeks.
然而你并没有
And you’ve won…
赢过一分钱
never.
这算是统计上的异常
It’s actually a statistical anomaly.
是的 我知道
Yeah, I know.
我喜欢和大伙一起玩 我没有过这么多朋友
I like playing with the guys. I don’t have that many friends.
别把我的位置拿掉
Don’t take my seat away.
我可以多给你点小费 -不
I can tip you more. -No.
你的小费已经够多了
Your tips are very generous.
要不我给你一些书
How about I-I give you some books?
或者请一个专家给你上些课
Or even a pro to give you some lessons.
嗯 可以吧
Yeah, uh, maybe.
我考虑一下
Let me think about it.
好的
Okay.
但事实是烂布莱德知道他在干些什么
Turned out Bad Brad knew what he was doing.
他在获得顾客
He was getting customers.
他在牌局上丢掉十万元
He’d drop his 100K at the game
却为他的对冲基金捡到了四千万
and pick up four million for his hedge fund.
告诉他们这周最聪明的是什么 -不是我
Tell ’em what’s smart this week. -Not me.
稍后再说他的事 现在要讲的
More on that later, but first…
是哈兰·尤斯蒂斯
Harlan Eustice.
玩家X说他在商业赌场遇见了哈兰
Player X said he met Harlan at the Commerce Casino
说他会对牌局有好处
and that he’d be good for the game
但我并没有看到他所看到的
but I wasn’t seeing what he was seeing.
他风格严谨 在底牌后弃牌的概率
He played tight, folding after the hole cards
有6♥4♥%
6♥4♥ percent of the time.
不知道他的钱到底是从哪里来的
It wasn’t clear where his money came from.
他制♥作♥后院摔跤视频
He produced backyard wrestling videos
和其他劣质视频
and other low-rent productions.
最糟的是 哈兰·尤斯蒂斯是个优秀的牌手
But worst of all, Harlan Eustice was a good card player.
为什么玩家X会希望在牌局上有能打败他的人
Why would Player X want someone at the game who could beat him?
得到这个问题的答案并不容易
I’d learn the answer to that one the hard way.
你的旅途顺利吗 -还可以
How was your flight? -Just fine.
你是怎么支付得起洛杉矶到纽约的机票的
How are you paying for tickets between L.A. and New York?
我在我的美国运通卡里还有两千万积分
I had 2 million points left on my Amex.
他们拿走了卡 但保留了我的积分
They took the card but let me keep the points
对此我觉得挺不错的
which I thought was nice of them.
你去开会了
You had meetings.
嗯?
Hm?
你在洛杉矶开了关于你的自传和生活的会议 不是吗?

You’re destitute and you passed on five offers
把你的自传改编成电影的提议? -我会付你报酬的 查理

我只是好奇为什么你会拒绝

目前看似是你唯一的出路
on what appear to be the only way out you have.
意见不统一 -好吧
Creative differences. -Okay.
