About this game
No-limit Texas Hold'em against three bots for play chips, with one rule the bots also use: once a hand you may contest the board. Pay to see the next three cards and choose which one lands, or pay to swap a card already sitting on the felt.
How it works
Every fee goes into the pot and every contested card lands face up on the rail, so paying tells the table something about your hand. Four seats, 1,000 chips each, blinds every eight hands, and a hand-rankings card if you need it. Chips are a score: nothing to buy, nothing to cash out.
