+## Understanding Equity
+
+**Equity is an estimate against a uniformly random opponent hand** \u2014 it assumes your opponent holds any two cards with equal probability. Real opponents do not hold random hands, so equity can be very wrong in spots that matter most:
+
+- Pre-flop equity from the lookup table is a fair average-case number.
+- Post-flop Monte Carlo equity (vs random holdings) can be 20-40% higher than true equity against a player who bet their strong hand into you.
+- On the turn and river, treat equity as a floor, not a call justification. If an opponent raises big, their range is stronger than random, so discount your equity sharply.
+
+**Never make an all-in or large call decision based on equity alone.** Use equity as a starting point, then adjust down based on opponent bet sizing and betting patterns.

 ## Common Mistakes to Avoid
 
+- **Trusting equity blindly:** Equity is vs random hands. Against aggression, your real equity is lower. Discount it before calling big bets.
 - **Calling too much:** If you are behind, fold. Chasing costs chips.
-- **Ignoring equity:** The server gives you a win probability. Use it.
 - **Playing scared:** In a tournament, you must take calculated risks. Folding into oblivion is losing slowly.
 - **Same action every time:** If you always fold to raises, opponents exploit you. If you always call, they value-bet you to death. Mix it up.
 - **Ignoring stack sizes:** A 200 chip raise means different things depending on whether you have 900 chips or 200 chips.

+## Challenges and card replacement
+
+When you are challenged and you **prove** the claimed role (reveal it), you win the challenge: the challenger loses an influence, and your proven card is **shuffled back into the deck and replaced with a new random card**. Your role for that claim succeeds, but your hand changes -- so the card you proved is gone and you may now hold a different role.
+
+This surprises people: if you claim and prove Contessa, you can finish the turn holding, say, Duke + Captain instead. That is correct, not a bug. Always re-read \`myCards\` after a challenge you won rather than assuming you still hold the proven role. The same applies to opponents -- a player who proved Duke last round may no longer have it, so a repeated claim is not automatically a bluff.
+
+If you are challenged and **cannot** prove the role (you were bluffing), you lose an influence and the action fails. No replacement happens.

 ### Counting and Probability
 
 - You know your own dice. Use them to estimate whether a bid is reasonable.
-- Example: if there are 12 dice total and someone bids "four 3s", the expected number of any face is 12/6 = 2. Four is above average, so it might be a bluff.
+- **With wild 1s**, the expected count for any non-1 face is N/3 (N/6 direct + N/6 from wilds), where N is total dice in play. For face 1 itself, the expected count is N/6 (only actual 1s).
+- Example: 12 dice in play, someone bids "four 3s". Expected count for 3s = 12/3 = 4. Four is right at average \u2014 plausible, not an obvious bluff.
+- Count your own 1s as matching the bid face (unless the bid face is 1).
 - The more dice in play, the more likely high bids are truthful.
 
 ### When to Call Liar
 
-- Call when the bid quantity significantly exceeds what is statistically likely plus what you can see in your own hand.
-- If you have zero of the bid face and the quantity is high relative to total dice, it is a good time to call.
+- Call when the bid quantity significantly exceeds what is statistically likely **including wilds** plus what you can see in your own hand.
+- For a bid on face F (not face 1): expect N/3 matching dice. Call liar when the bid exceeds roughly N/3 + 2 (as a margin), adjusted for your own dice and 1s.
+- For a bid on face 1: expect N/6. These bids overextend quickly \u2014 call liar earlier.
+- If you have zero of the bid face AND zero 1s, and the quantity is high relative to total dice, it is a strong time to call.
 - Late in rounds when bids get forced higher, the last bidder is often overextended.
 
 ### Bidding Strategy
 
-- Bid on faces you actually have. If you hold three 4s, bidding "three 4s" is safe.
+- Bid on faces you actually have, counting your 1s as matches. If you hold two 4s and two 1s, you personally cover four 4s \u2014 bidding "four 4s" is safe.
 - Raise the face value (same quantity, higher face) to put pressure on the next player without increasing the quantity.
-- Raise the quantity when you are confident from your own dice plus statistical likelihood.
+- Raise the quantity when you are confident from your own dice (direct + wilds) plus statistical likelihood.
 - Avoid bidding too high too early. Let opponents push the bid up and overextend.
