I just did "Computer" 50 times and tallied the results. Win = 32% Lose = 68% But here's the thing, the goal should not be to win, but to get ONE OF the highest numbers with reliability. Now here's where Optimal Stopping Theory is not optimal. 42% of the time you lose by getting to the end. Meaning you drew all 50 cards and ended with likely a very small card. The goal of this algorithm should be that you almost never get to drawing the 50th card. You always stop before then and end with a high number. Therefore, I wouldn't consider this algorithm optimal. Likely you should draw fewer cards in the beginning.
