  • Poker Phases: Draw, Stud and Hold’Em As Play-Forms of Capitalism
    the author(s) 2011 ephemera articles ISSN 1473-2866 www.ephemeraweb.org theory & politics in organization volume 11(4): 450-465 Poker phases: Draw, Stud and Hold’Em as play-forms of capitalism Ole Bjerg abstract The subject of the article is the history of poker. It explores how different structural variations of the game have evolved and how different types of poker have been dominant at different periods in history. There are three main forms of poker: Draw, Stud and Hold’Em. In the article, it is demonstrated how the three forms emerge and become the most popular form of poker at three different periods in history. It identifies structural homologies between the historical development of poker and key elements in the manifestation of capitalism at different times in history. Introduction Poker is the laboratory of capitalism. (McDonald, 1950: 23) When we look at a piece of art, read a piece of literature, watch a film, or listen to a piece of music, it is commonplace to think of these as cultural expressions of the social and historical context in which they are created. Art, literature, film and music are readily recognized as mediums of the Zeitgeist. Poker and other gambling games are rarely thought of in the same fashion. At best, they are considered to be meaningless entertainment, at worst self-destructive vices. I would, however, argue that poker is a cultural expression in line with art, literature, film, etc. The sudden popularity of poker in recent years demonstrates the rich cultural resonance of the game. Poker is a game of money.

INTRODUCTION Neither history nor anthropology can tell us with certainty whether trials resemble games or games resemble trials. The similarities are often noted and beyond question. Both games and trials are contests in which winners are declared. Both depend upon formal rules and set pro- cedures, and both occur in separate, designated spaces where these spe- cial rules apply. Trials, of course, are deadly serious (for the participants, if not the observers), while games are, well, games-a combination these days of fun and commerce, but focused always on an irreducible core of entertainment (someone has to enjoy it or it isn't really a game). The Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga believed that games came first; indeed, that play actually precedes humanity: Play is older than culture, for culture, however inadequately defined, always presupposes human society, and animals have not waited for man to teach them their playing.

  • We Consider a Standard Cbet in SRP (Single Raised Pot) 40-80% of Pot, and for 3BP (3 Bet Pot) 30-80% of Pot
    We consider a standard cbet in SRP (Single Raised Pot) 40-80% of pot, and for 3BP (3 Bet Pot) 30-80% of pot. For some definitions if someone bets 100% of pot, then the action is made, it will not qualify for the definition. This is because often it will skew the opportunities. For example, to be extreme, someone min bets then folds to a huge overbet all-in shove. I wouldn't want this to be included in a fold to flop raise definition because the person will fold nearly 100% of the time here, so it's not accurate. Any kind of action must be sized correctly in the definition for it to count as an opportunity. This will not give as many opportunities for sure, but they will be much more accurate, giving us a better read. In the popups at the tables you will notice some definitions are bold, green, or red. Bold means the definition is for a 3BP or higher. Green means this person is significantly lower than the average for this stat, and red means this person is significantly higher than average for this stat. This document is color-coded to show which popup each definition can be found in. If the definition is used for a badge it will not be in a popup. Badges are Bold (just for this document) Popup: Essential-3Bet, Essential-4-5Bet, Essential-RiverBet, Essential-CB, Essential-TurnCB, Essential-XR, Essential-FvR, Essential-FvCB, Essential-TurnFvCB, Essential-RivFvCB, Essential-RiverCB, Essential-PFR, Essential-Donk, Essential-VPIP, Essential- Steal, Essential-Foldto3Bet, Essential-vsHero, Essential-XFold, Essential-FvsSteal Definitions in smaller font in italics are available in NoteCaddy Edge Ultimate package.

  • An Investigation Into Tournament Poker Strategy Using Evolutionary Algorithms
    An Investigation into Tournament Poker Strategy using Evolutionary Algorithms Richard G. Carter I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Intelligent Systems and their Applications School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2007 Abstract Poker has become the subject of an increasing amount of study in the computational in- telligence community. The element of imperfect information presents new and greater challenges than those previously posed by games such as checkers and chess. Ad- vances in computer poker have great potential, since reasoning under conditions of uncertainty is typical of many real world problems. To date the focus of computer poker research has centred on the development of ring game players for limit Texas hold’em. For a computer to compete in the most prestigious poker events, however, it will be required to play in a tournament setting with a no-limit betting structure. This thesis is the first academic attempt to investigate the underlying dynamics of successful no-limit tournament poker play. Professional players have proffered advice in the non-academic poker literature on correct strategies for tournament poker play. This study seeks to empirically validate their suggestions on a simplified no-limit Texas hold’em tournament framework. Starting by using exhaustive simulations, we first assess the hypothesis that a strat- egy including information related to game-specific factors performs better than one founded on hand strength knowledge alone. Specifically, we demonstrate that the use of information pertaining to one’s seating position, the opponents’ prior actions, the stage of the tournament, and one’s chip stack size all contribute towards a statistically significant improvement in the number of tournaments won.
