Connection between poker and time fully explained
There obviously is a serious connection between poker and time. These two 1-minute games undeniably prove that. You can play them even now, all you need is a 1/100 sec. stopwatch and memorizing the cards chart (hint: you can memorize only the 1st column, it's much easier then). A little bit of training will let you experience this connection on your own.
I think it's all possible thanks to the duration of time measurement units and rectangular deck arrangement. Is it one big coincidence ? I don't know. But certainly a deck of cards hidden within 1 minute is a cool thing, especially because just like each playing card has two sides: face and backside, there's not just one but two games combo !! They both can serve as an evidence.
Here are the 3 graphics I made. They contain all the rules:

The rules of both games are 100% correct, but I guess a much better explanation for the GAME 2 would be:
The amount of help you can potentially get from your poker hand in each try precisely reflects / resembles hand rankings math probability plus it sees card values. The better the hand you made with your markers, the less freedom and options you had when placing them. Weak hands are more loose and don't force you to use markers at certain points. This all has to do with concentration, your own rhythm, sense of time and confidence.
I scored a flush in both games already, it feels really good. These games are real fun !!
I think it's all fully explained now as the thread's title says.
Aaaah, sorry for the delay, here comes the full explanation for both games and how they connect poker and time (!!!!!!!!!).
But before you read, don't forget to complete the main procedure:

And here's the complete graphic number 3:
If time is infinite then at some point everything happens. Trees. Mermaids. Everything.
Even microstakes. Thus poker needs time in order to be created, and is thus the son of time. If by son you mean a swirling vortex of avarice and resentment
"Vortex" is a good word for describing poker. This might come from the fact that there's data process overload for human brain.
Time is infinite in the long run. Though "now" as a single moment in time is far from being fully understood, too.
The connection is definitely there, although I'm not sure whether I "discovered" or rather "established" it by creating these 2 mini-games.
The 1st game focuses precisely on particular moments in time (+ public information), while the 2nd game concentrates on the general long run result (+ hidden information).
It's crazy how many conclusions can be drawn from this poker >< time connection. I still have to arrange it all in my mind, because it's currently kind of chaotic. But what I like the most, is the fact these two games can be played pretty much endlessly if you want to make the maximum score (2x Royal Flush).
Now, this may be only theoretical, but I still think that's really crazy ... !
Time dilation definition (source: Wikipedia):
Spoiler
Time dilation is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them (special relativity), or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativity). When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity.
After compensating for varying signal delays resulting from the changing distance between an observer and a moving clock (i.e. Doppler effect), the observer will measure the moving clock as ticking more slowly than a clock at rest in the observer's own reference frame. There is a difference between observed and measured relativistic time dilation - the observer does not visually perceive time dilation in the same way that they measure it. In addition, a clock that is close to a massive body (and which therefore is at lower gravitational potential) will record less elapsed time than a clock situated farther from the same massive body (and which is at a higher gravitational potential).
According to this definition:
A) The faster the stopwatch device travels relatively to the player, the more easy it will be for him to play GAME 1.
B) The faster the stopwatch device travels relatively to the player, the more difficult it will be for him to play GAME 2.
So the perfect and most playable conditions for both of these poker games will be when your stopwatch device isn't moving (speed = 0 mph). This is because the default difficulty level in both games is perfectly balanced. When the time runs slower, it's easier to hit 'XX''00 (game 1) and more difficult to hit '53''XX without looking (game 2).
Are you playing your little game at speeds approaching the speed of light?
It's as if you asked any physician: "Do you often look at a watch that travels at speeds approaching the speed of light?"
It's only theory, but it's still science and it perfectly shows strong correlation between both games.
