In Response To: How crappy? (adambulldog)

David Rockwell would gladly trade you his ER for your RESULTS.

4.99 is not crappy.

Stick posted here once that my avg ER is widely purported to be 5.1. Nobody seems to think I am crappy.

The thing is... that a zero error rate is not the best path to victory. It would help, but if you play exactly like a bot then you can do very well but at times it is better to play worse and take advantage of human weaknesses.

I have given doubles that were .3xx blunders, and made Kit Woolsey PASS it!

The bot gigs me, and it gigs him even MORE. That right there would make my cube action "Awful" according to Gnubg. ONE cube error like that.

What it should really be called is Ultra Brilliante'

So, the moral is the story is...

Play the best you can, and learn from your errors. Learn to make the fewest checker play errors that you can... for making bad checker plays never results in an overall gain in equity.

Stick says an ER of 4 will KILL the ABT. He is right. My ~ 5.1 has been kicking it's ass over the last 3 years.
