I made a computer opponent that did the EV+ play every time and it sucked. Easily exploitable.

[/ QUOTE ]The reason it sucked is precisely because it did the +EV play (in terms of its hand's pure value) every time.

This is better known as not making the +EV play, e.g., failing to recognize and make profitable bluffs.

This is the 2+2 theory forum. Elsewhere, let the ignorant masses say poker is nothing but psychology, but at least here, we should be able to accept the idea that bluffing might be mathematical, as was analyzed in papers by Borel and von Neumann in the earliest modern work on game theory.

Don't blame the failures of your program on the inadequacy of +EV poker.
