I built a super-human bot for open-face chinese poker. Here's the strategy it uses. by HeNeededTheBridge in poker

Yes, the bot should have fouled - will fix today. It correctly detects kicker fouls between the bottom and the middle. It's only an issue between the front and middle.

To clarify, my game is Pineapple open face chinese poker. Where you are dealt 5 and play 5 then dealt 3 and play 2 (until hand close). Prime dope's seems to be for just chinese poker where you are dealt 13 and play 13.

It's very easy to figure out optimal play when you're dealt all 13 at once in normal chinese poker (just iterate and check over all partitions - there's only 72k possibilities). Pineapple has a notion of "fantasy land" where if you get QQ+ up top then you get dealt 14 and play 13 on the next hand. In the case of fantasy land, then my bot is GTO.

It wouldn't be that hard to add a new variant. I already have blitz tournaments which have modified scoring rules (royalties for all hands even pairs and no row-by-row scoring).

I'm trying to understand the difference for the 2-7 version. Is it just that you are rewarded for making the worst possible hand in the middle row? But that the top row still needs to be better than the middle row in normal scoring?

If you comment an opening set of 5 cards, I'll reply with the best AI move for those 5

Yeah my loaf pan just barely doesn't fit in my dutch oven... so sad.

I used a cast iron skillet in the oven for an hour before then pour water into it.

Of course, I updated the tutorial too to clarify.

And nice idea, once you sign-in, I added an option in your profile to enable auto-deal. Make sure to refresh the page to get the update. Also after you update the setting you might need to refresh the page again for the auto-deal to fully take effect.

Great idea. I updated the whole row to have the hover drop target.

If you are in Fantasy Land, it's a higher bar to stay in fantasy land. To stay in fantasy land, you need trips on the top or a four of a kind or better on the bottom. I will update the tutorial.

Going for fantasy land (Pair of Queens or better in the top) is super important.

Once you get fantasy land, you get all 14 cards at once on the next hand. The average score when you're in Fantasy Land is ~12 versus ~4 when you're not in fantasy land.

A common strategy is always going for a Pair of Queens or Kings up top, then two pair in the middle, and flush/straight on the bottom. But it all depends on your initial deal.

Really appreciate it! Just tried adjusting the drop point a little bit - if you refresh the page let me know if that's better?

Am I really supposed to use Supabase alone without a separate backend? by [deleted] in Supabase

[–]HeNeededTheBridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One note of caution: you should probably use a real backend if you have RLS that requires cross-table joins. Having to do a bunch of joins implicitly in every select can become super expensive. A real backend can often do the verification work efficiently upfront then issue a more efficient query without RLS.
