My balance after loosing one one-hundredth of a penny in a round of Cordial Minuet
A full round of Cordial Minuet played for 50 cents. I use the green marker to choose a column for myself and the red marker to choose a column for the opponent. The opponent is doing the same for rows on his end. The highlighted numbers where our choices intersect make up our respective scores. I lose 44 coins, or 22 cents. Gif by the author
Rohrer started playing poker during a homeschooling conference for his kids at a hotel that had just opened a new poker room. Other parents were upset because kids were walking around the sound of chips clicking in the lobby, but he decided to play. He started with $40 and walked away with $160. When he went home, he started playing online. He hasn't played for real money since he lost about $50, but said he could sense he was getting better, just like he could sense he was getting better at League of Legends the more he played it.After playing Cordial Minuet and seeing how easily I could lose my (four-figure) life savings to Rohrer in minutes, the distinction between chance and skill seemed marginal to the real danger: it could ruin me if I let it.I'm as confident as an amateur lawyer can be, I guess
Cordial Minuet is an anagram for a lot of things, but "demonic ritual" is the most appropriate title
