No limit holdem has been essentially solved. Pluribus & co not withstanding, you just haven't heard of it because the people who have solved it are busy printing money in online poker (yes, I know they try to detect bots, and no, they can't detect them all). With stakes this high, academic progress lags the 'actual' state-of-the-art by years.
- throwaway_Aef8 5y agoIIRC it's "solved" for heads up but not really multiway like 3+ to the flop. I believe in a recent Bart Hanson Youtube he points out that mutltiway is not solved.
- throwaway_Aef8 5y agooh wait, Google showed me this: > Machines have raised the stakes once again. A superhuman poker-playing bot called Pluribus has beaten top human professionals at six-player no-limit Texas hold’em poker, the most popular variant of the game. It is the first time that an artificial-intelligence (AI) program has beaten elite human players at a game with more than two players https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02156-9#ref-CR1 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02156-9#ref-CR1
- jeffreyrogers 5y agoIt's not solved for multiway in the sense that the optimal move in each situation isn't known, but there are AIs like Pluribus that have superhuman performance.

- jeffreyrogers 5y agoThose constraints don't seem that strong to me. The algorithm could've just been retrained with different stack sizes if it ended up making a big enough difference.
