Think what I'm going to do is write up Hand 18 now in here - post Hand 17 sometime tomorrow (Tuesday), post Hand 18 on Wednesday, and then break for the holiday - with a long timer for player error corrections. Probably running over the holiday weekend.

Hand 18 - Elimination Hand

Apple Siri is first to bet. The four bets from hand 17 add up to $51,000, averaging $12,750 - rounding up to $13,000.
Minimalist Bot does its usual $25,000.
Zen Count/Basic's count is at -1, which means minimum bet of $5,000.
ND bot, of course, at $5,000 like normal.

Dealing out cards:

Apple Siri: JH AS
Minimalist Bot: 10S 10D
Zen Count/Basic: 3C 7H
ND bot: 5H 7C

Dealer: 5H 8S

[Farren]

Apple Siri gets a blackjack! Automatic win with a 3:2 payoff; no action necessary here.
Minimalist Bot with its 20 once again HITS, drawing a 9H and going BUST for the last time.
Zen Count/Basic has a 10 against a dealer 5; it opts to DOUBLE, increasing its bet to $10,000 and getting one card. It gets a KS, forcing it to stop at 20.
ND bot has a 12 against a dealer 5. It chooses to STAND.

Dealer reveals its 13 and HITS on 13. It draws a 7H, putting it at 20 where it STANDS.

Results:
Apple Siri WINS at 3:2 odds, gaining $21,000 for a total of $1,091,500.
Minimalist Bot LOSES $25,000, putting it at $126,000.
Zen Count/Basic PUSHES the doubled bet, remaining at $1,245,000.
ND bot LOSES, dropping to $1,010,000.

Minimalist Bot is eliminated, surprising nobody.

Looking good so far

[StrangerCoug]

Oh, and even though none of the bots are programmed to consider previous bots' actions, technically the action also starts with the first bidder, not always with Minimalist Bot. Minor detail that might matter next time

Edited to add:

You've been doing it right, though I'm not sure what I was thinking, though the first hand co-modded with you started with the same player as the first hand of the tournament.

[Farren]

Hand 17 is posted. I noticed that here I had Apple Siri's stack at $1,074,500 in the text but $1,072,500 in the table. The latter figure should be the correct one.

Updating Zen Count for hand 18.

After Hand 18, if you could message all four players alerting them to the end of the elimination hand and CC'ing me, please

[Farren]

Can do.

[Farren]

Hand 18 has been posted. I noticed a payout error on my end here - Apple Siri should have received $19,500 for its blackjack, not $21,000. Correct amount was posted in the main thread.

Appeals have been opened with a 96 hour deadline. PM has been sent.

Once that deadline passes, I'll start working on the next batch of hands. Don't want to do it sooner in case anything needs to be replayed.

[Farren]

An hour to go; I've received no PMs with error reports. One error I just noticed: ND bot's final stack should be $1,010,000 (not $1,015,000). I'm going to be busy at deadline, so posting that correction now.

Player Name	Bot Name	Stack Size
inspiratieloos	Zen Count/Basic	$1,245,000
Nancy Drew 39	ND bot	$1,010,000
Sirius9121	Apple Siri	$1,092,500

Will push this to the OP and start working on the next hand later today.

[StrangerCoug]

OK

Hand 19.

Zen Count / Basic is first to bet. TCount is currently at -1.28, so that means a bet of $5,000.
ND bot as always with a bet of $5,000.
Apple Siri bets the average of the last round. $48,000 divided by 4 = a bet of $12,000.

Dealing out cards:

Zen Count/Basic: 6S, 2H
ND bot: 5C, 9C
Apple Siri: QD, 5S

Dealer: 9H, 6S

[Farren]

Zen has a hard 8 against a 9: HIT. It gets: 10C, bringing it to 18, where it STANDS.
ND bot has a hard 14 against a 9: HIT. It gets: JS, bringing it to 24 - BUST.
Apple Siri has a hard 15 against a 9: HIT. It gets: AH, bringing it to 16. That would be a Surrender, except: once you hit, you can only hit or stand. Fortunately, "Stand on hard 13-16 against a dealer 2-6, otherwise hit" covers the contingency; HIT it is. Which works out well, as the next card is 5S. That brings it to 21, where it STANDS.

The dealer reveals its 15 and HITS - getting an 8D for a 23 and a BUST.

Zen wins $5,000, moving up to $1,250,000.
ND loses $5,000, going down to $1,005,000.
Apple Siri wins $12,000, going up to $1,104,000.
