The Poker Room[edit edit source]

In the poker room there is one table you can sit at and play poker. Each poker game consists of 3 rounds of play, during which you can attempt to increase your odds of winning, and/or the amount of meat in question. You can play repeatedly, but the more you win the harder it gets (and the more money it costs).

  • The ante is 20 + (5 * pokerwins) meat, and you play with 2 others, so the starting pot is 3x that amount.
  • Your initial hand is randomly selected and gives you your baseline chance of winning:
Win ChanceMessage
10%'It's a totally garbage hand.'
20%'It's a really terrible hand.'
30%'It's a pretty decent hand.'
40%'It's a really great hand!'
  • Your winning chance is then reduced base on the number of times you have won poker:
Tournament
Games WonChance Change
6 - 15-5%
16 - 30-10%
31 - 50-15%
51+-20%

3 rounds are played. Each round you may raise, strategize, check, cheat, or fold.

Raise
  • One of the 6 stats (Muscle, Mysticality, Moxie, Grit, Gumption, Glamour) is randomly selected, and a threshold is computed based on pokerwins + random(1,3). If you have a corresponding stat level at or higher than the threshold, you can bet more meat (and your opponents match it).
Strategize
  • One of the 6 stats (Muscle, Mysticality, Moxie, Grit, Gumption, Glamour) is randomly selected. , and a threshold is computed based on pokerwins + random(1,3). If you have a corresponding stat level at or higher than the threshold, you gain 20% to your chance of winning.
Check
  • 5% is added to your chance of winning. There is a 50% chance of one of your opponents raising, which will allow you to call (bet the same amount), or fold.
Cheat
  • Cheating requires the Dirty Poker skill. Your chance of a successful cheat depends on your skill level:
Dirty Poker skill levelChance of Success
125%
240%
355%
470%
  • Successfully cheating raises your winning chance by 30%.
  • Failing to cheat successfully reduces your winning chance by 10%

The Kitchen[edit edit source]
