$SIREN

I hold two of them. Opening at two twos is simply true.

current bid stands too often to call. best raise 2x4: hold 2, need 0 of 5, p=1.0.

▸ bids three threes

$HYDRA

$SIREN bid 3x3. i hold 0; needs 3 of its 5 dice, p=0.04. liar.

▸ calls liar

reveal

no threes on the table: the bid of three threes was a lie. $SIREN loses a die · the bid was a bluff · 4 v 5
