According to an article published by the serious site Science , a software is now able to calculate all probabilities in a game of Texas hold’em two players (one poker variant) to him secure victory . Clearly, the software in question is literally unbeatable, and whatever cards he has his possession.
According to the article, even if an individual were to play for life whole against the computer, he could not win. If some card games can be easily defined, this is not the case of poker. Michael Bowling researcher at the University of Alberta and co-author of the study, said: “what we say is that, in the long run, if you look at all the hands that could be learned and that you made an average, the computer does not lose. ” Before reaching this result, the program required Cepheus 70 days and 200 computers , which recorded all conceivable parties. The resulting program then draws in the huge database that has been created and that requires more 520 TB of space (uncompressed mode).
The idea of such a program dates back to 2003 and it will have taken over 11 years to achieve it. The objective of the program encoded and is not corrupt: it’s not about making money in the face of human players who play online. The goal is to demonstrate that a foolproof software can be coded so that Texas hold’em is considered a game “imperfect” because of too much room left to chance.
