Default Re: How My Son\'s Insight May Have Saved Poker

game of complete information vs game of incomplete information

[/ QUOTE ]

That’s a total over simplification of the issue. Chess is the holy grail of proving that machine can conquer man. The “programmers” have had at it with focused resources and funding for half century. Even still machines play “World Class” but to say a machine is ultimately better is still an over simplification. There is open debate if a program could beat the world’s best correspondence player. Deep Blue VS Karparov is not a black and white story. Developers modified the program between games, a huge advantage and some would consider cheating. Kasparov was promised in return access to the game logs, they promised and never delivered and other strange things occurred. There is a documentary that chronicles the whole scandalous event.

Bottom line given enough resources and time Poker would take a significant hit too. And that’s from a legit point perspective. Programs colluding with the knowledge of each others cards could do some serious damage.

Hold on to that complete vs incomplete as long as you can...
