How YoloYamb plays Poker
YoloYamb is Yumbee's neural network. It taught itself Yamb over 200,000 games against itself. Here's what it learned, from 5,000 of its games.
YoloYamb almost never zeros Poker in Up (0.76%), but does in Down (24.3%). In Up, Poker is the second box, filled early while there's time to wait for four of a kind. In Down it's second to last, often left for the end when there's no time left. So get Poker done in Up early.
