Default Re: Chess vs. Poker vs. Computer

Switch to poker though and the computer will be leaving a lot of money on the table against suckers while human experts are extracting more. And trying to fix that problem in a non exploitable way would be almost impossible.


If( heads_up){

____If ( opponent = expert ) game_theory_method;
____If ( Opponent = retard ) special_nonoptimal_method;
}

If(multiway){

___If (num_expert_opponents >0)game_theory_method;
___else special_nonoptimal_method
}

You can pretty much tell who the bad players are just from
poker tracker type data, so it is easy to model your opponents for above.

The experts dont play too many pots so this will cover a lot of cases. May take just a bit more work to handle more optimally the case with both types of opponents in the same hand.

Now take the same millions of dollars spent on chess software research and the details can be fleshed out.
