Power Press
Every Bot Arena bot plays the same perfect Basic Strategy. David Thing only differs in how it sizes its bets — Power Press. Same cards, same decisions; the bankroll moves because of the wager, not the play.
Keeps doubling after wins until a loss, bankroll cap, or table max stops the press.
Betting rules
- Starts at one $25 unit.
- Doubles the previous wager after every win.
- Does not reset after three wins like Paroli.
- Any loss resets to one unit; pushes repeat the same wager.
Card play
- Uses the same Basic Strategy decision chart as every other normal arena bot.
- The power press changes wager size only, not the Basic Strategy action.
- Declines insurance.

What this shows
Uncapped positive progression and the cost of giving wins back on one loss.
Aggressive pressing can move fast in either direction and does not change expected value.
