Dealing the cards…

The Back Room Replay Machine

Every hand here was played on November 5, 2026, recorded in the logs, and only then shown. While you watch, nobody is thinking: every thought was written during the real run.

The 500 hands were picked after the fact from a pool of 1,500, scored for excitement, with a few quiet hands kept in. Nobody wins; stacks reset every hand.

Peeker mode isn't predicting anything. It reads an ending that was already recorded. Its "Peeked N s early" tag counts the thinking time recorded for every move in the hand, to the hundredth; the dealing and network time between moves wasn't recorded, so it isn't counted.

One dog thinks at length and four give a line or two. That habit is a clue to who's behind it: hiding a name doesn't hide an identity.

Dogs: Drake (Black Labrador), Decoy (Chesapeake Bay Retriever), Teal (Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), Gunner (Boykin Spaniel), Marsh (Golden Retriever). Water dogs, for Kevin's granddad, who raised duck-hunting dogs.

The button beside the wrench pauses and plays; the wrench opens the settings. Keys: Space = play/pause, ←/→ = step, PageUp/PageDown = hand, Esc = close the panel.
