Both players start with 10000 chips each and the game consist in 5 rounds of dealing cards. Each player can bet from 1 up to 3 hands per round. Min bet is 10 and max bet 2500 per hand, therefore the max bet is up to 7500 per round. The sequence of cards in the deck is identical in every round. The dealer also receives the same sequence of cards in each round, regardless of how many cards a player draws before. The player who has the most chips after the final round wins the pot. (In case of a tie, the stakes are refunded.) No player can see his opponent performance until he did not finished all of his rounds. (but if you play quick and finish your game fast you can watch your opponent and take notice of his betting style) There is 1000 chips penalty for each round not completed. This means that if a player lose all his chips in the 1st round, then he will finish with -4000 chips. - The winner pays around 13.5% rake which is paid as a commission from the pot to the website for offering the games. (Is the rake too big for making profit?) PS: - How much would change the optimal strategy if the dealer would not be receiving the same set of cards for both players each round ?
