No this doesn't currently use a model for valuation. It uses recursive exploration(with a stockfish like early terminition) and keeps track of the reward and regret at each node. With brute force on number of cores and compact memory l

Be careful with initial impressions of metrics. We as humans have a heavy tenancy to anchor to our first judgments or impression. We see a win and assume the win is long term, with no downsides, and dependent on the new information/cha

Early game bluffs are essentially lies that you tell through the rest of the streets. In order to keep your opponents from knowing when you have premium starting hands, it's required to play some ranges, sometimes as if they were a dif

No it's far from trivial for three reasons. First being the hidden information, you don't know your opponents hand holdings; that is to say everyone in the game has a different information set. The second is that there's a va

Text trained LLM's are likely not a good solution for optimal play, just as in chess the position changes too much, there's too much exploration, and too much accuracy needed. CFR is still the best, however, like chess, we need a

They would need to lie, which they can't currently do. To play at our current best, our approximation of optimal play involves ranges. Thinking about your hand as being any one of a number of cards. Then imagine that you have combinati

I think 'Batteries Included' would interest you, then. Like this, it's installable on AWS. It's a whole platform PaaS + AI + more built on open source. So Kubernetes is at the core, but with tons of automation and UI. De
