Gotcha.
I played a few dozen rounds of each (regular and Pineapple) last night. I think I'm getting the hang of it now, though I'm not quite ready for high stakes OFCP yet
So when you guys were playing, is there just a set amount of money per point? Like $0.25 or $1.00?

For learning, $0.05 is safe. @Mr. Cheese and I were teaching some players at that level, and they wanted to raise the stakes to $0.25. They went from losing $5 in a night to $75 very quickly. For cash play, a quarter a point is about right (IMHO).

So you're saying I now have a reason to get a rack of $0.05 chips. Thanks!

I found that smart play makes the game pretty balanced. Players that reach for fantasyland see much bigger swings in variance. I currently figure about a 20 point per hour variance to be fair to calculate swings, then figure out how long you intend to play and solve for X.
Everyone was new to OFCP at S@P (except maybe inca) and we played for 25¢ a point. We later played at the "one-ring circus" table as none of us are really wild enough for the big-kids circus table.
I often wonder how what level I could play this if it were in a casino. Note, the rake would have to be awful with 3 players to a dealer, so the points would have to be quite high to bring the rake % down.

Seems to me you can't play Pineapple with 4 players (not enough cards), so at least some of the time at S@P3 we were playing regular, no?
In any case, I'm with the crowd, Pineapple is far superior to regular. If you really wanna see some variance, play the low-in-the-middle version. I think it's easier to avoid fouling, and lets you swing for the fences in terms of things like trips on the top row, etc.

So I guess I shouldn't expect to be able to stay in fantasy land four hands in a row too often?

Yes, we started with regular while at 4 players. Pineapple occurred very late. It wasn't until we got home and Mrs Zombie and I started playing some that I really fell in love with pineapple.

If only I had the ability to see the future, I could have scored 54 points on this hand

I feel the same way - I would rather have fun with it at a Meet Up or other event and not burn out online.

I downloaded Spicy Pineapple, the iOS app. It is duplicate ofcp pineapple only. Is there an iOS app for heads up or three handed ofcp pineapple?

I don't think the bot is going to dig out of this hole. The new AI is much better, although it appears to have some uncanny luck.
