I think that's going to be the last game.  I may resume this at some point but right now I'm having trouble keeping up with it.

Man I got lucky in round 1; I had .832 and was planning on going to 10 if necessary. But forgot to send a PM in time and auto folded instead, losing less than I would have.

Also had .92 in the second round; super lucky.

[LaLight]

I was really lucky in the first one, sorry, faust!

Thanks for your donation, schadd

Was pretty lucky though, .86 was great.

Sad to hear that, it was great fun

I wouldn't have felt nearly so cheated if you had had 0.9-something...

Wow uh that is quite the opposite of my hands, very lucky indeed :/

So was your raise to 9 a pure bluff? It made me think for a minute about dropping out, but I figured you were either bluffing or in the high .8's.

Yeah it was a bluff. I figured if you were under .85 or so there was a good chance that's you'd fold.

3. Quarters on a Chess Board

Rules
Note: The thread will remain unlocked for the first 72 hours of the game; however, this is a zero-sum game and it is not in your interest to give the other teams hints.   
Players will be split up into pairs*.  This game will only be played once.  Players will be paired up like: highest and lowest scoring players together, then second highest and second lowest, etc.   
Each pair will have one player be assigned to role A and the other assigned to role B (chosen randomly).   
Each pair will be given roughly 72 hours to communicate with each other in a QT I will send them.  After this time period, THERE IS TO BE NO COMMUNICATION AMONG PLAYERS AT ALL REGARDING THIS GAME.  The thread and QT's will be locked at that time.   
After the 72 hour communication-period is up, the player in role A will be privately given an 8x8 grid of H's and T's, representing quarters in either the heads or tails position respectively, on a chess board.   
Additionally, four squares on the board will be marked blue (good), and one will be marked red (best).   
The player in role A must choose exactly one of the quarters on the board to "flip" (change from H to T or T to H).  Submit your selection by PM to the mod within 24 hours.  (Do not copy your partner or anyone else in the PM.)   
The state of the board (excluding the red and blue squares) after the quarter has been flipped will then be sent to player B.  (Note that they will not be told which quarter was flipped.)
Player B may then choose any one square on the board, within 24 hours of receiving the board.   
Scoring is determined as follows (per player):   
Player B guesses the red square:   12
Player B guesses a blue square:   3
Player B does not guess either a blue or red square:   Negative points so that the total points among all players is 0 and the "losing" players all get the same number of points, rounding down if necessary to avoid non-integers.

If each team guesses either a blue or red square, the negative points will be distributed among the teams who guessed blue squares.  If all teams guess the red square, no one will get any points.

*Since there is an odd number of players, there will need to be one team of 3.  I'll list the teams in the next post.

Hey, 3Blue1Brown just did a great video on basically this same game! (Exactly the same except there's only 1 "best" square; no "good" squares.
