Hi,

I am interested in a program which optimally solves the wager works
casino game of Texas Hold'em shoot out, I am also interested in the
variance but not as much as the ideal strategy. My expectation is
that the optimal strategy would be all in or fold. The rules and the
bot behavior can be found

Bottom line is there are 2 possible pot states, you are effectively
always the small blind as one of the bots will always raise, leaving
either a 3 unit pot or a 4 unit pot.

The you have the option to go all in, or fold, the bot will always
call your all in. An all in is worth 8x your ante so makes either a
19 unit pot or a 20 unit pot and seeing 5 cards.

The eval example would almost seem to do everything you need, apart
from, picking the stronger of the bots hand to play with.

I am willing to pay upto $50 (by paypal most likely) for the house
advantage with an all in or fold, a proper strategy table/or
application for an all in or fold strategy, and the source code with
compilation instruction and code comments.

If the optimum strategy is not all in or fold (eg it is call and play
down the streets), then, I will pay $100 if you are prepared to solve
that - and provide the same as above - application, HA and source with
comments, as it looks like more work.

Many Thanks,

John.
