Hey Vorpal,
have you seen that 888 has brought at least some of their freerolls back? Would be cool if they brought more of them back!
(Yeah yeah, got my BR now but it´s always fun to pick up a couple of $ for free)
There are indeed more.
Low payouts though.Could be "enough" for JUST FOR FUN play though.
Nice Flop…speaking of "Just for fun"

I was going to post this in "Bad Jokes" but I don't know how many people look in there daily.
Besides, it's a good joke, and on a serious subject
I started to listen to this "Music for Concentration" and quickly gave up.
Piano music is most definitely going to break my concentration.
Any suggestions?
This is nice, but only 31 minutes

Tell me about it... I once mentioned my frustration when I was looking for certain nature videos and found several with good footage, which were ruined by obnoxious piano music.
I personally like to listen to either streams or podcasts as background noise, but some people may consider them too distracting. I also have a folder of background music, though I don't use it as often anymore.
One of those files would be this, or at least a similar video with an identical name:
You may also like this, though it may be a bit too lively to use as concentration music:
This channel has a bunch of videos with different themes, could be a good choice if you want to mix it up every now and then.
Oh yes, flutes are great for calming.
The Paul Horn album wasn't new to me.
In first year university, a friend had this album and we'd just lie there in the dark and listen to it.
No psychedelics necessary

I had a quick look, and could kinda follow the logic, but I'll need to know more about Javascript

So you cannot get truly random numbers just using a computer.
Maybe if we used Lava Lamps™
In the olden days, PokerStars had a video where they discussed how they used an atmospheric property to obtain random numbers, but I haven't found it yet.

I remember that vid

I thought nowadays they make use of mouse gestures and perhaps user-input? Are they using those lava lamps for real? I like that

I put some info in the read-me about why primes and about the hand-values that the commented out evaluateCombo() function produces.
Not about the javascript though, I hope you can work with it, or translate it to your own language ...
I already changed some things ... I keep working on the project, but not putting the changes online. Will probably completely rebuilt it to make it fast enough. BTW, when I compare 10 hands is gets a lot faster because the dead cards means less possible boards.
…I normally don't play jackpot tables, since the ROI totally sucks (at least it seems that way to me)
But every so often…
The hand:
There's no way that I know of to get a postable hand history from KKPoker, but to make a long story short,
I opened 2.5BB from the button, and called the 3Bet.
On the flop and the turn I just flatted.
and the result:
Vorpal, question: What do you think of the BLAST-SnGs on 888? Tried some of them (10 ct) and they seem to be BIG FUN!

Yeah, they're a blast.
They're like most spingoes except that the lower buy-ins have very small starting stacks.
At least they used to be like that. I haven't played in a while
Yes, the 10 ct buy-ins have low starting stacks and it´s pretty much "Sekt oder Selters". You go all-in from the beginning. You start with like 7,5 BB. It´s quick, it´s a blast, big fun but swingy of course. Those and the left-over-freerolls could be nice for a fun-format to play at the weekends. PartyPoker has Spins, too, they´re called "Spin Overdrive" (or so). Not too bad for a QUICK fun-format.

I'd forgotten about those. They're good for filling in a few minutes now and again
They´re really cool. Played both of them today - but I personally prefer "Spins Overdrive" on PartyPoker! But the BLASTs are cool for sure!
I am trying to convert the Javascript code to C++. I did not get it faster than ~900ms in javascript. I'll post the c++ as well if and when I succeed ... it'll probably be so so c++, but you can probably understand it enough to maybe make it better for yourself if you want to.
... I mean you are probably done with the JS already or still wondering what a freaking const is in JS and why it is not really const :f_tongue:.

I've been wrapped up in my own project this past month, so no, I haven't done anything with the JS code.
In python, constants are much the same. By convention, the names are ALL_CAPS and this tells you that they aren't to be changed, but they're nothing stopping you from changing them. At least in compiled languages, if you declare CONST whatever, then if you try to change it later, the compiler will puke.
I made a c++ version, but because of my terrible c++ it takes 3sec+ to compare 2 hands. In JS I now have it down to 600ms, so I am not sure if I will continue the c++.
