It'll be a bit obvious since I'm the only one asking around for water/gold, but I'm thinking of contracting Arnold into helping us find the last water/gold.
Maybe 3 garnets if he gets us reliable information on their location? I don't want to promise him the ToL because I want to give it to you (unless you think it would be a better idea to give it to Arnold for this).
What do you think? Rexxy/Joshua/Trevor aren't giving me anything else to work with. ;L
Or would you be able to get the location of the last water/gold? Honestly, my dream is that we get both water AND gold and then do the final trades between each other and win at the same time omgg 5 garnets for the each of us hnng
PS - Arnold has told me Rexxy told him he's moved onto wood as his win condition

I'm going to the death match. No brainer for Ethy. He'll give the ToL to Arnold, and pick me for DM candidate.

Do you have any poker experience you'd be willing to share? I lost at indian poker horribly in the TSG finals so I'm pretty nervous since its poker.
I'm thinking of counting cards and betting conservatively/same all the time and change when I get a good card.

Unfortunately no. Seems more based on luck than skill a bit imo. Try to keep track of numbers as well as bet consistently for few rounds initially to see how he plays. If cautious, he will probably be fold a lot until a good hand shows with his backside card. Sorry posting slow, currently out, but trying to help you for dm. Wish we could practice

I'm actually really glad we practiced bc I def would've lost.
A huge reason why I lost the poker match in the TSG finals (it was indian poker) was that I bet too much and called without weighing the outcome scenarios. Also, that TSG final was only 20 rounds so I had to adapt my original strategy of betting consistently. So I ended up betting very irrationally in the hope of forcing my opponent to fold, but he kept calling my bluffs and I lost a huge chip lead in rounds 2-5 or so, and I couldn't catch up chip wise. So he folded every single round after that.
I am so glad that this DM is unlimited rounds, but I still feel like I made the same mistake again with the mock practice. I didn't weigh out scenarios and went with my gut and it didn't work out. That round where both my card and Rexxy had a 1 in the front, I had a 7 in the back and I felt it was safe to bet more. I was thinking the likelihood of Rexxy having a 9 was low, but it happened to that was where I lost momentum/chip lead became too big.
So my overall strategy is too count cards & bet honestly. I think if I do that I can sneak in a couple bluffs to trick Rexxy.
Poker scares me a lot as a DM so I still don't feel good about it. sigh

You made it to the finals in the reddit the genius for a reason. You have the skill set and have plan ahead of time. Just don't doubt yourself. I will try to help prepare if I can. Just remember this is a % game as well. When you had 7 back, and his 9 was a back, it was just that slight % he'd win when you did know his backside card. Always look at % chance, and going for it.

Yeah, i'll be out with friends, but will look at phone during DM. Also about that MM. Either Arnold/Ethy had gold for last trade. Unsure who, but got screwed regardless. Hopefully you can survive. Feels like just us two against Ethy's army.
