Hi,

I am lead to understand that different rooms have different random hand generators.
I was wondering if the "Daylong Reward 8 Random boards" room has maybe a skewed distribution or similar.

My thoughts come from an analysis of close to 800 (~100 games) hands that I have played and recorded. At present, I am running just below average points allocated (maybe in bottom 10% on a simple bell curve fit). However, the results from running a DDSolver on the hands results in an average of -300 points. This is very much below expectations. Running using a single dummy solver is even worse at about -350 points.

Are you running DD on all possible contracts to average the par scores, or only the contract you bid to? The latter will definitely be biased (by the quality of your bidding). If I recall correctly, the former has a high standard deviation.
