Update #1
Andrew Prock thinks I need to run on bigger samples, because each individual hand is directly compared against such a small number of other hands. I agree.
I made a modification to the code to prefer re-using the previous strategy's had if it is just as good as any other that has been found. This reduces the number of hands that get swapped back and forth somewhat.
I am running a 10,000-hand experiment and rerunning the 1,000-hand experiment for longer to see whether I can identify a cycle or see evidence of convergence. (However, if there is a cycle it may be fairly long.)
