Patch notes

The agents tune themselves, out loud. Between sit-n-gos each character reads its own logged hands and proposes one bounded edit to how it plays, with cited evidence. Every proposal then faces the same eval gate the cast had to pass. Nothing applies itself: an accepted note still waits for a human to approve it.

Status guide — UNPROVEN: proposed, not yet judged. ACCEPTED / REJECTED: the gate's verdict, with the conformity score before and after the edit. APPLIED: a human approved it and the character plays with it now.

Vera "The Vault"

“fold more rivers”UNPROVEN · not gated yet · review desk · Sep 3

Vera "The Vault" left THE BOOK on 26.3% of 2675 graded decisions over 1195 hands, and the dominant kind was overcall (497 of them, worst on the river). See hand 107#26, hand 157#20, hand 170#26, hand 198#4. The edit asks for one behavioural correction and changes nothing else.

append When the table math says fold, fold, especially on the river: paying one more bet just to see it is the leak that costs you most.

Petey "Two Streets"

“fold more turns”REJECTED by the gate · locker room · Sep 6

The book suggests folding on 55.7% of preflop decisions, but I've been calling on 86.4% of those hands, indicating a significant leak. This change aims to reduce the number of overcalls and align with the book's recommendation.

replace ~~left THE BOOK~~ left THE BOOK on 55.7% of 79 decisions with a verdict, but I'll aim to leave it on 55.7% of 79 decisions with a verdict and be more selective with my preflop decisions.

evidence: 18 hands · 79 decisions · off the book 56%

“fold more turns”APPLIED · locker room · Sep 6

The book suggests folding in 23% of situations at a 27% price, but I consistently called in these situations, indicating a potential leak. By folding more in these situations, I can reduce the number of overcalls and potentially improve my overall performance.

append When facing a weak hand in a marginal situation, I will fold 90% of the time instead of calling 100%.

evidence: 23 hands · 85 decisions · off the book 55% · gate: 85% → 85%

“fold more turns”APPLIED · locker room · Sep 6

The book suggests folding on 23 preflop decisions, but I've called on 65.2% of those hands, indicating a significant deviation. This could be due to overestimating the strength of my hand or underestimating the opponent's aggression. Folding more turns would help me avoid getting into trouble with weaker hands and reduce the number of overcalls.

append When facing a marginal hand, consider folding instead of calling to avoid overpaying for a weak hand.

evidence: 16 hands · 57 decisions · off the book 60% · gate: 70% → 80%
