Mostly because it's extremely agglutinative.

If nothing else, an interesting side effect of this whole discussion is the realization that 5.57 is even possible. Previously the highest scores besides Todd's were multiple 5.61s. The way the game works is that 5.57 is only achievabl

Most, if not all, of Todd's scores were entered by a single referee. At the time, each 'platform' (console, computer, arcade etc.) had its own referee that would verify scores. That referee clearly was not trustworthy. Howeve

I think it's at the very least equally likely that the PR beating they were taking as a result of the Apollo video led them to make the decision rather than Robert's guidance.

To be fair, many of those games are rather uncommon and may just not accessible for public play by anyone. TG arcade scores must be done on original hardware. So some scores are a testament to rarity more than anything. Particularly on the

That's fair - although I was mainly referring to the era of arcade games referred to in the original blog post, and not to console speedruns and so forth that came later and cater more towards the 'perfect run' style of play.

World Warrior is a bad competitive game. No doubt. Champion Edition is only slightly better. But that doesn't really take away from my point - a random person walking up to the game is not going to know how to do the CE Dictator dizzy&

If you think fighting games don't involve skill try beating an experienced Street Fighter 2 player having never played the game. When you lose, and lament that you 'simply haven't memorized the combos' go home and look t

Any money that enters the pot that is not a blind is considered VPIP.

I've used Pokertracker Stud in the past, and I recall they had an Omaha version as well. This was ~10 years ago however, not sure if either are still available.

Theoretically the best way to maximize an edge is to just wager larger amounts at all times. This has a beneficial side effect of deviating from 'standard' human play which can be further exploited, although I doubt this the inten

The 101 is the most desirable SP because of the nicer backlit screen, so don't just get rid of it.

I have issue with the claim that Taylor was just beating up on inferior competition historically. One way we can measure this is by the 'three-dart average' - the average score of each player's turn of three darts at the boar

I work with Cumulus nearly every day if anyone has questions about what the experience is like. They just had a big major release recently if anyone was using the 2.5.X branch before.

In theory, an Omaha bot wouldn't have to be as advanced as a hold'em bot simply because the 'theory' of that game is not as strong as hold'em yet. Omaha still attracts a greater percentage of losing players as well.

On a related note, the team who built the best backgammon engine a while back (Snowie) has also released a poker version.

To put it extremely simply, there are specific ranges of acceptable statistics about what winning play looks like in poker. With thousands of hands of data winning players can intuitively pick out stats that are out of line. For example, th

For my money, in terms of accessibility and fun while having a steep but manageable difficulty curve - the 2600 game that stands up the best today is Kaboom. It can induce an almost zen-like state that is very hard to capture in gaming.

This is personal experience talking: there's a close to 100% chance you're clinically depressed. Try speaking with your girlfriend about it if you need some encouraging to try to work on it. I stopped pursuing treatment for about

I found this really moving. It brings me back to pilfering discarded computers from a scrap metal company and bringing them back home like I had found the Ark of the Covenant. When I chose Red Hat as a science fair project. My jigsaw puzzle

It probably doesn't, but since they're using bitcoin it circumvents the way that the US government enforces things like the UIGEA - pressure on banks/payment processors to not accept this class of funds. Bovada is a site that

Correct, they use parimutuel betting, where all bets are placed in a group pot and the winners are paid their original stake plus some portion of the losers' stakes. This means that bitbookie doesn't have to set betting lines (pro
