Re: Tough Problem Even For Computers
Either you're stupid or missing something fundamental here. The situation is that you need to maximize the probability of winning this freezeout HU tournament. That's the EV you are supposed to...

Re: Tough Problem Even For Computers
No, you are entirely wrong. The key to this problem is that you know exactly how your opponent will behave on future hands. As such, it makes sense to pass up some advantages now in return for much...

Re: Tough Problem Even For Computers
