Texas Hold em', anyone?

lol.

Well it's at the break. Half the competition out already (180 out of 380 left). I'm sitting on 4700, average stack is 3100 so it's looking good so far.

I gave someone a slow rolled bad beat just now and the hand after someone folded to my second pitiful minraise on the turn with the comment "nice slow roll dude" :D I had nothing but AK to a rag flop.
 
I just play it with my mates, few quid each time entrance fee.

A few beers, mates and Texas hold 'em can be as good a night as any like.
 
UTG minraises, UTG+1 calls, I raise to 10x with KK, the limpers both call off 20% of their stacks - lurverly. Flop comes 9TT rainbow. UTG checks, UTG+1 bets pot, I push AI and UTG+1 calls with .... Qs3s, no spades on board. I guess he wasn't gonna let me bluff him off his bluff ...

On AI, there are already a lot of bots playing - but they're not usually very good, and the sites catch them fairly easily because of the identical pre and post flop stats (WPEX just lost half it's player base cleaning out the bots). It'll be interesting to see how this program does under different conditions (short, deep etc), and whether it would adjust well to tournament situations.

How do you know this? I would be interested to find out more.

Just reading poker forums, cardplayer etc.You must have heard of RaiNKhaN (Hevad Khan, just made the final table of the WSOP ME, came 6th I think) who got his account suspended on Party Poker for being a robot because noone believed he could play 26 tables as fast as he does - he made a video to get his money back:

The regulars at WPEX have been complaining that the games are less profitable since the bots got banned - so far they're all too predictable and easy to exploit - but no doubt they are good at exploiting the fish. Plus I don't think they could ever match a human player for reading their opponents - knowing which ones will call a huge overbet AI with 2nd pair and which ones will bluff all their chips off if you check to them is easy enough (although bots don't seem to exploit this knowledge much), but knowing which ones will do it again and which ones you need to change tack with is something else.
 
Man vs Machine Poker Championship

Phil Laak and Ali Eslami are playing two sets of 500 hands, 10/20 limit, against a new poker playing program. They're playing the same sets of cards twice (so Ali gets the cards against the bot that the bot got against Phil, and vice versa) to compare results. Should be interesting. Ali is +600 half way through the first match, but it's been up and down.

I read about this earlier. I've been following it so far. Interesting to see how the other bloke does too.
 
Just played a tourny and had one hand out of like 60 hands that was any good. Mainly had 72, T4 and that sort of shit. No chance to bluff or anything. Others were having like constant KQ, KK, AA etc... Gets frustrating, then the blinds do you!
 
Some one called my AA re-raise shove to a Q rag rag rainbow flop with Q3, making top pair 3 kicker. Of course, he hits the 3 on the river for two pair and I'm down a buy in.

Thankfully, it's that kind of donkish move that makes me my money the 80% of the time I should win. But still... Q3o... Are You Mental?

Yep, some peeps are crazy in the rooms. They are easy to pick off if your patient but are also for me the most dangerous as you raise then they re-raise 4th street and then drop trips on the river!

Usually also, when i have like AA and the flop is like A83 rainbow you just know you'll be heads up! Probably a great chance gone to make some cash.

The best situation and a dream to me is pocket 44 and flop of J4Q rainbow. Peeps tend to discount the 4 and concentrate on trying to fish for straight or pairs. You can bet modestly, and they will go with you right to the end.
