As long as the cube is in play I would use the cubeful equity. | To help this discussion, I have some scenarios. Player 1 and Player | 2 are in the middle of a money session game. They are playing for | $10 per point, with a maximum cube value of 16 (no one can double | beyond this). Both players have agreed that if anything happens in | the middle of a game, and it can not continue, they will use GNU BG | to decide what monies should be paid. | Please help me do the math on each of these items. Thanks. I'll do my best. | 1. Player 1 leaves the game (on roll) because his wife has just gone | into labor. With the cube at 4, GNU BG decides cubeful equity at | 0.78866 and cubeless equity at 0.82949. Ignoring the 16 cube limit. Player 2 ows 4 * $10 * 0.78866 for this game. $31.54 (Note that the 16 cube limit can make a little different equity, but normally it won't.) | 2. Player 1 (on roll) is arrested for public lewdfulness, and the | cube is at 16. GNU BG places cubeful equity at 1.13451 and cubeless | equity at 1.16333. Since the cube can't be turned any further a fair settlement would be 16 * $10 * 1.16333 = $186.28 .... and quit playing him... | 3. Player 2 (on roll) gets too drunk and passes out at the table. | The cube was at 2, and GNU BG spits out -2.09343 cubeful equity. If he was this drunk I wouldn't have played him unless I really needed the money. Playing drunk people can really make you a big income, but some of us have moral standards against this. We once had a chouette going here, and one of the players was always drunk, and is was like playing chouette with added prize money. You could make a good income but it wasn't really fun since it actually was really painful socialy. Back to question: Make him pay the the $40 dollars before he passes out, and be happy even though it should be be paying $41.9. | 4. Player 2 decides that pursuing a femme fatale is more important | than finishing the session (he's on roll). The cube was at 1, and | GNU BG spits out 0.09343 cubeful equity. Whisper to him that you also think her tits looks good and settle for a wash. That's the best you can do. But you own him 93 cents. | Any help appreciated. BTW: Read the Gaby Horowitz quiz in Kleinman. - -Øystein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC4AaO6kDTFPhwyqYRAmrbAJ9CVdf8S3UG1elespj4crXIZZK0GwCfXKcB qeZq14eSo3I3hfJGWG3larY= =5QxO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
