CORDIAL MINUET ENSEMBLE

Sometimes I take my time during the betting stage, because I use that time to study the board and graph for the next round in addition to actually betting. I'm not just putting money in based on what I got during the last round of picks, but what I could potentially get the next round. So I like the time limit where it is.

Ok, that makes sense then.

I guess the information I'm really missing is when I've raised and someone's raised more than me. I'm left to wonder if they're trying to convey confidence by betting that much outright, or if they thought my bet was weak and are trying to force a fold. It hasn't really affected my game at all, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't lacking information everyone else knew about.

Thanks!

I'm thinking making the amulet games no stakes avoids a lot of issues that have been brought up. As an amulet holder, you're clicking on the Amulet Game button, and still have the option to play regular games. So clicking into an Amulet Game, you'd know they won't win or lose you anything but the amulet. For a non-amulet holder, I think getting the amulet would be a big enough deal that it would make sense for it to replace winning money.

I don't think it changes game behavior either. If the amulet holder didn't care about the amulet, they'd just leave the game and drop it anyway. If they want it, then they're going to play to keep it. It's at stake just like money is usually at stake. The non-amulet holder wouldn't know it's an amulet game, so they'd play normally as well.

So an amulet holder could be paired up with any random open game within $.01-5 instead of based on a bankroll percentage, which would avoid making things penny heavy.

Just my two cents.

Are winners of the physical prize amulets the players that hold them when the contest ends, or the ones who have the most wins/points while holding the amulet over the course of the contest? I thought it was wins/points, but I just wanted to make sure.

It sounds like a good idea now, but wait until horse flesh pole or grandmother body lubricant start climbing the leaderboards...

Thanks for this, Jere! This is excellent.
As far as humility, something I've found helpful, and I'm serious here, is anytime I win I think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0nyOyrprIs

I think the games over time graph you used in the Clock Form post might be handy, if a little creepy. Let's say I want to play a rematch against you. With that graph I know when you're more likely to be on. Also, if you're able to make the bot attach multiple images, maybe a simple reply of "profit" to a tweet could supply the profit graphs for all the players mentioned in the tweet.

I also like the idea of ELO tracking. I check that leaderboard fairly regularly. Maybe just making a tweet every few hours about big ELO jumps? There was a night where I started at 7th and ended at 2nd. I would've loved to been able to retweet that!

These are just suggestions, though. If you're wanting to move on to another project, then it's incredibly handy as it is already.

This is an excellent analysis, and I absolutely agree. I've played several games with Clock Form over the last few days, and its strategy rarely changes, and is very predictable. Its betting seems to follow a very narrow set of patterns based on what you give it and what you bet. For example, last night I played a game where I was able to make it fold at the first betting stage every single time. It folded itself down to 0.

Also, ya, I had what shallow_depths described happen several times.

Jere, the profit site is awesome!!

Nice! That's super slick!!

Hey Jere!

I just had the same thing happen. This showed up right after someone joined my match and quit right away (giving me 6 coins for leaving).

I haven't lost anything yet today, or played any games over .05, so it's kinda weird!

Not to hijack the thread, but I just played against both of you and they were excellent matches!
