if someone could design a difficult poker game then they would jus put that intelligence to use to win consistently on a low limit table

Or they could work for a big software company and make more money. There is more to life than poker.

I would imagine that poker video games aren't made for winning poker players, but more for WPT fans. I don't think using a ps2 game to sharpen your poker skills is worth it.

I'm not going to promote any game as a good tool for practice, because not only have I never played a poker game for playstation, I don't see any way a game could really reenact the true player vs. player poker experience.

That said, the word is that Daniel Negreanu is working on a game called "Stacked" which I'm sure many around here have heard of. Its supposed to have a new AI system that adapts to your play and actually tries to beat you. How good it will be remains to be seen, but I think he's been co-promoting with MTV, so check it out.

WSOP and WPT for PS2 are worthless unless you have never played before. I got both tried to play them, software very bad/slow/hard to read interface/ and the players play horribly.

world championship poker 2 with lederer is fun. no psp game will teach you to beat online but they are good to play. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

stacked looks good when it comes out.

the wsop game is pretty bad imo.

I thought Phil Laak said he thought the bots he beat in the bot championships played quite a tough game?

So doesn't that suggest that it is capable of offering a difficult poker game?

Does everyone find it a breeze to beat bots like Poki-X then?

I have found a few games with some degree of value to them. What I mean is that some part of the system's game is a bit of a challenge. But I doubt there will ever be a comprehensive, challenging computer program.

First, most poker games are made for entertainment, not for a challenge.

Second, if a program tries to make the "right" move every time. It becomes way to easy to bluff it. Conversely, if a program tries to bluff, it is generally easy to pick on its habits, or to just fold until you get a monster and then slam it.

Third, the human mind has never been duplicated by any computer (and never will be) and poker is a mind game.

It is possible to make a programmed instruction type of game that has a fixed set of hands that react in an intelligent way to you over those select hands. It has been done. The program reacts in a very appropriate way to you and can adjust itself over those limited hands, depending on how you acted on previous hands.

But that is just a human programming a limited number of possibilities into a short-term scenario. Full intelligent human play just can't be dupicated.

Isn't stacked going to be using the PokerAcademy engine? If so, it's def. worth waiting for that one, because the AI is hands down the best there is.

What we really need is for Sony & PartyPoker to hook up, so that you could play on PP over the internet on your PS3, but with really cool real life graphics, etc.

That would rock!

OMG, I think I just saw the future, and it is bright, oh so very bright [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ca-ching

98% of poker players dont care about graphics. It has to be readable. Period.
