Man vs Machine highlight video #2

[darse]

The video highlight reel from the second session has been posted to the official website: http://poker.cs.ualberta.ca/man-machine/Results.

This session features Phil Laak discussing his decisions in front of an audience of about 120 people at the AAAI conference in Vancouver (July 23, 2007).

Phil is a great showman, and there were many amusing comments.

The deck was heavily stacked in Phil's favour, leading to a win of $1570 over 500 hands of $10-20 Limit Hold'em. On the other side of the identical duplicate match, Ali Eslami was tortured and crushed (-$2500), resulting in a decisive win for Polaris (this session featured one of our particularly aggressive bots, dubbed Mr. Orange, which Ali later re-christened as Agent Orange).

Enjoy. The video for the third session will be available in a few days.
