I have a pretty basic strategy pertaining to Gold Rush:
I generally always throw my 1 rock first, I hope my opponent makes a large mistake and I can breeze to victory
However, most opponents will throw the 1 rock as well, making a tie. My next play is very unconventional but I believe works. I generally will throw my 2 rock next. This usually puts me way behind the 8ball points wise but my opponent will almost always throw a 5/6 rock here b/c of all the points in the middle. Once he/she throws a high point rock I have control of the match and can generally win out from there.
I have only been outplayed a couple of times, the other times I blame on bad beats, where the sequence of rocks screws me.
The last game I played I lost, and I finally figured out why, here is the sequence.
First rock: 1
I throw: 1
He throws: 1
Second rock: 3 (6 total)
I throw: 3
He throws: 2
Third rock: 2
I throw: 2
He throws: 3
Therefore I have 11 he has 7
Next rock: 4
I throw: 4
He throws: 5
Therefore I have 11 he has 20
Next rock: 6
I throw: 6
He throws: 4
I have 27 he has 20
Final rock: 5
I throw: 5
He throws: 6
He win 36 to 27
Analyzing my LEAK was on the fourth rock. I threw my lowest rock thinking I would have control. However, I should have realized that I need to win 2 outta the last 3 to win it all, therefore by throwing a 4 I was hoping he would throw a 4 as well and we would push and I would win. He was too smart for that and threw his 5. I think I shouldve thrown my 5 on 4th street, but I was stupid. I throw a 5 and he throws a 5 Im gonna win a pushed match. I throw a 5 and he throws a 6 Im gonna have control. 4 was pretty much the worst choice possible.
Damn I cannot believe I just analyzed that game.
