Gamers, What are you playing these days? 🎮

I’m spending too much time on Tennis Clash (iOS). Before that I spent considerable amount of time on Gardenscapes.

Which mobile games are you hooked to?

I've been wanting it since I was a kid just like I wanted an ipad. I pondered over ipad for 2 years and then ended up buying it. It has been 8 months since I bought it and it's lying discharged because I don't know what to use it for.

Similarly I've been craving to buy PS since I was a kid. I like gaming but not too big of a fan and now im concerned that even if i buy PS 5 will i use it?

Whats your suggestion? I don't want to throw 50k like I did for iPad. 🤐

PS: I can very well afford it so money isn't a problem. It being worth the money and I being able to use it is, and I don't know what to do

Should I buy PS5?

Hey folks! One thing I'm sure about is that this platform has the most intelligent, experienced, and intellectual self-made individuals. I also know that most of us like to communicate sarcastically or indirectly, which might be hard for a normal person to understand at first. This is why I believe each of us has a story behind our usernames. 
Sometimes, I find myself laughing at a username more than their jokes. Some of the usernames that always make me wonder are: FunnyBones, Potatomato, salt, UnpaidIntern, rantmastergogo, kabootar_jaa, IceTruckKiller, FuzzyRuin, BiryaniEnthu, ChinChinChu, EagerFetus, bullymcquire, bottleofgin, GossipAunty, JadeArgent, peepeepoopoo, barbaadeshwar, Nagraj, Damaru, Amulbutter, weekendemployee, AliveYouth, AlphaGrindset, TheOatmeal, and many more.

The community would love to know the stories behind everyone's usernames here.

I'll go first.. 
I am a die-hard fan of geopolitics, and before Trump, everything was going smoothly and boring around the globe. But then this legend came and brought endless entertainment, whether it was a roast-show with US singers, his accent, speeches, or Covid management. What an interesting time it was! Despite his political blunders, I'm a huge fan of his entertainment. 😀 
I hope you all have seen his recent mugshot on Twitter. 😆

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I will continue with this series for people who like this kind of content, drop "+1" in the chat and I will tag you the next time I post content.

I assume you guys know some basics of Texas Hold'em Poker. Flop refers to "the dealing of the first three face-up cards to the board"

Now, let's look at the table and their positions:
1. Blinds: First to act every street after pre-flop.
2. Early positions: Under the Gun(UTG)
3. Middle positions
4. Late positions: Button and Cut Off

The order for a 10 person game would be: Small Blind(SB) → Big Blind(BB) → Under the Gun(UTG) → UTG+1 → UTG+2 → MP1 → MP2 → MP3 → Cutting off the Button (CO) → Button (BTN) and then order repeats ...

Some insights:
1. Blinds see the flop at a discount because they are compelled to play but are at a disadvantage because they are first to act.
2. This means that more money is made in late positions because they have more information to act on.
3. However in short stack situations, where effective stack size is small then early positions are better because you have the opportunity to go all in before someone else can as you can maintain Fold equity(Equity from Aggression).

So, Expected Value or E(V) is how do you determine whether you should call or fold basis the size of the pot and your contribution to it basis the number of outs(potential winning hands) you have.

E(V) = Win % * Win Amt - Lose % * Lose Amt

For example:
Villain(V) [UTG+1] = $500
Hero(H) (MP1) = $500

SB/BB + Ante = 20/40 + 10
Here, Ante is the bet everyone has to make every hand. This is to make the pot worth playing for everyone.

Pre-Flop: $140
H = A 10 (suited Hearts)
V = ? (Unknown)

1 Fold
V raises $120
H calls $120, 5 Folds

Flop: $380
The flop is 8 Heart, 3 Heart, K Club
V = $370 (All In)
H = ? (Do you call or fold?)

Solution:
A call is positive E(V)  if:
 Win % > Call Amt/ Pot after Call 

You have a strong hand if you can get a flush here. 
which means you need one of the next two cards
Heart Heart Club | Heart* | Heart*

Which means:
Win % = 1 - (Odds of 2 cards not being Hearts)
= 1 - (40/49 * 39/48)
= ~ 36%

So,
370/1120 = ~33% is  Call Amt/Pot after Call

Since, 36% > 33% Hero should call.

E(V) = 36% * (380+x) - x * 66%
E(V) cut off at 0,

x = $404

You stand to make $ if you decide to call that bet. You can raise any amount till $404 for a positive E(V) after which you should mathematically fold.

An easier way to calculate this is to use 2% if you can only see one card after flop and 4% if you can see both cards.

That way, Win % here would be = 4% *  9 = 36%
9 outs because, 9 cards that are Hearts are left in the deck.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Firstly, a bit of background about myself: I'm a 24-year-old senior software engineer living in Bangalore, working in an early-stage startup. I make close to 2L a month.

Since my childhood, I've always wanted a PlayStation, but my parents never got it for me, saying I had to study and stuff.

Now, I can afford to get one, and my parents are not going to stop me, but my girlfriend is against me getting it.

I just want to know what you guys think. Should I get it and fulfill that childhood dream?
