Interesting. I wonder if I can stake an AI machine in next year’s WSOP? The payout this year is more than $10M. Just making it into the final table guarantees a million, which isn’t too bad for a $10K buy-in.
So instead of trying to count a 6 deck shoe, you can just memorize a program.
Unless they were playing for real money, then this test is not valid. Poker is a game of observation, strategy and having the guts to bluff or call a bluff. If you have no “skin in the game” then bluffing is a waste of time. The machine will call your bluff every time. At that point it is just the luck of the draw.
I thought poker was won by people that could see into their other opponents’ heads.
I don’t doubt that games like poker, chess, checkers can be played better by a machine. Machine game playing doesn’t interest me.
Wonder how it bluffs?
That should be a big blow to online poker, but it probably won’t. I suspect that many online power matches you are playing against a combine anyway.
