// The First Mark
A Bot That Reads the Table
Before the beast reads the world, it learns to read a poker table. Hiss perceives the board, computes the odds, and acts with no nerves and no leak. It doesn’t get lucky — it gets correct, hand after hand, commit after commit.

// How Hiss Works
Perceive. Calculate. Act.
A · PERCEIVE
Read the Table
Every card, stack, and bet becomes signal. Hiss watches the felt the way the beast watches the world.
B · CALCULATE
Weigh the Odds
Pot odds, ranges, and equity resolved in milliseconds. No hope, no fear — only the math beneath the bluff.
C · ACT
Act Without a Tell
It moves with no flinch and no leak. The first mark isn’t on a hand — it’s a machine that never blinks.

It has rows, each labeled 'seat N (hand)' next to a cropped gold pill showing a poker bet amount like 'X.Y BB'. For EACH seat row, tell me the exact bet number you can read (keep decimals), and whether the number appears fully visible or clipped/cut-off at any edge. Respond ONLY as lines: 'seat N: <number> | <complete|clipped>'.
