Euchre: Bid alone more often #221

Closed antross closed 9 months ago

antross commented 9 months ago

Fix #12

Includes improving play-of-the-hand to maximize making alone bids when a high card is buried.

Also updates the bot to account for receiving something worthwhile from partner in call-for-best.

Lastly updates bot to be a bit more cautious in call-for-best scenarios with unprotected lower cards in an off-suit.

There's one additional change to the play-of-the-hand I may try to address before this lands. Currently if the bot is missing the highest trump it always leads low from the trump suit. This causes it to miss making potentially winnable alone hands.

If the bot has bid alone, the opponents haven't taken a trick yet, and the bot is leading, it should lead its highest trump to maximize the chances of taking all tricks (in case the high trump is either in partner's hand or the blind).
