Using a simplified form of the Von Neumann and Morgenstern poker calculations, the author explores the effect of hand volatility on bluffing strategy, and shows that one should never bluff in the first round of Texas Hold’Em. 1. INTRODUCTION. The phrase “the mathematics of bluffing” often brings a puzzled response from nonmathematicians. “Isn’t that an oxymoron? Bluffing is psy- chological,” they might say, or, “Bluffing doesn’t work in online poker.

  • Abiding Chance: Online Poker and the Software of Self-Discipline
    ESSAYS Abiding Chance: Online Poker and the Software of Self- Discipline Natasha Dow Schüll A man sits before a large desktop monitor station, the double screen divided into twenty- four rectangles of equal size, each containing the green oval of a poker table with positions for nine players. The man is virtu- ally “seated” at all twenty- four tables, along with other players from around the world. He quickly navigates his mouse across the screen, settling for moments at a time on flashing windows where his input is needed to advance play at a given table. His rapid- fire esponsesr are enabled by boxed panels of colored numbers and letters that float above opponents’ names; the letters are acronyms for behavioral tendencies relevant to poker play, and the numbers are statistical scores identifying where each player falls in a range for those tendencies. Taken together, the letters and numbers supply the man with enough information to act strategically at a rate of hundreds of hands per hour. Postsession, the man opens his play- tracking database to make sure the software has successfully imported the few thousand hands he has just played. After quickly scrolling through to ensure that they are all there, he recalls some particularly challenging hands he would like to review and checks a number Thanks to Paul Rabinow and Limor Samimian- Darash, for prompting me to gather this material for a different article, and to Richard Fadok, Paul Gardner, Lauren Kapsalakis, and the students in my 2013 Self as Data graduate seminar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for helping me to think through that material.

  • Article 3 Understanding Hand Strength After the Flop Pokerlist
    Article 3 Understanding Hand Strength After The Flop Pokerlist.org For the most part, post flop play is determined by the strength of your hand and the relative hand strength of your opponent’s hand range. It sounds really complicated but it really isn’t. On the flop when the three community cards are dealt, you will have a better understanding of the strength of your hand and whether or not you should bet. If you have some type of made hand you have to decide if you likely have the best hand. It will almost become second nature to ask yourself how the flop could have changed the strength of your hand? Let’s take a look at the strength of hands to consider after the Flop. Monster hands don’t occur very often and include quads, boats, flushes, and straights. These hands are almost certainly the best hand if it goes to showdown and should be played like the nuts. You want to create big pots when you have monster hands. The second category is very strong hands, which include sets and two pair hands. Whenever you have these hands you likely have the best hand. Sure, you will sometimes lose with set over set, but if you are not playing sets and two pairs like the nuts, quite often you will not be extracting maximum value. Overpairs and top pair hands are the next group of strong hands. Depending on your opponents, with these hands you can usually expect to extract three streets of value when you are doing the betting.

  • Identifying Player's Strategies in No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker Through
    EPIA'2011 ISBN: 978-989-95618-4-7 Identifying Player’s Strategies in No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker through the Analysis of Individual Moves Luís Filipe Teófilo and Luís Paulo Reis Departamento de Engenharia Informática, Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Portugal Laboratório de Inteligência Artificial e de Ciência de Computadores, Universidade do Porto, Portugal [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The development of competitive artificial Poker playing agents has proven to be a challenge, because agents must deal with unreliable information and deception which make it essential to model the opponents in order to achieve good results. This paper presents a methodology to develop opponent modeling techniques for Poker agents. The approach is based on applying clustering algorithms to a Poker game database in order to identify player types based on their actions. First, common game moves were identified by clustering all players’ moves. Then, player types were defined by calculating the frequency with which the players perform each type of movement. With the given dataset, 7 different types of players were identified with each one having at least one tactic that characterizes him. The identification of player types may improve the overall performance of Poker agents, because it helps the agents to predict the opponent’s moves, by associating each opponent to a distinct cluster. Keywords: Poker, Clustering, Opponent Modeling, Expectation-maximization 1 Introduction Poker is a game that is became a field of interest for the AI research community on the last decade. This game presents a radically different challenge when compared to other games like chess or checkers.
