Alright, where are my math nerds?

Anyone done the Nash analysis for High/low, or made a spreadsheet for determining the optimum strategy? How many games before it reshuffles? I'm assuming played cards are excluded until the reshuffle.

Assuming optimum play, what are the odds of hitting the 25 game streak needed for the merit?

I got mine with about 150 tokens. If I did my math correctly it approximates to about 0.03%.

The reshuffle is when 10 rounds of card played, even when u lose but stil not reach 10 the card before still excluded

Kinda off-topic but I did some math on this a while back to see how much of a difference the card counting makes and looking a the profitability of hi-low in general.

TL:DR it doesn't make much of a difference at all. You are best off just spamming your 75 tokens as quickly as you can each day.

Also the probability of hitting the 25 streak is approx 0.755^25 or 0.000888533

EDIT: Should probably mention that I didn't factor in the rounds where you draw - as there isn't much of an increase in winning percentage.
