Early results: In a tournament between Solo who always rolls once no matter what (even ignores run-for-it mode) and some other N-roller strategies, Solo wins the money, big-time! Even when he doesn't win the pot as often as others (that is, he doesn't win the most individual games), he comes out way ahead in the money. He doesn't skunk as often so he doesn't contribute as much to the pot as everyone else. When he does win, it's when everyone else was skunking a lot so the pot is big!

In my initial thread, the suggested strategies all boil down to N-roller or M-points-per-turn.

Somehow I think a more advanced strategy would compute the odds based on the current game state, so it would optomize its play against "dumb" opponents no matter what mix it found itself in.
