It is extremely difficult to program a computer to respond well to bluffing and other betting patterns. Poker is not just about betting on the probabilities of the cards in front of you but there is a huge element of analysing betting patterns in conjunction with estimated probabilities. This impacts on psychology in addition to maths so is hard to model.
- heyitsnick 14y agoI think this is a common misconception with poker. Responding well to bluffing is easy; it's described mathematically by Game Theory. Psychology and "reading" betting patterns is only important if your goal is to maximally exploit your opponent. Solving chess is "simply" the game of finding a game-theoretic solution (computationally, however, this is beyond current computing power; much like "solving" chess is from move 1). For more than 2 players, however, GTO solutions may not exist.
