Polaris on the Radio
CBC Radio: Search Engine did a piece on Polaris today. Jesse Brown’s host today was Dr. Jonathan Schaeffer.
They discussed the various implications of poker bots in the wild to a very odd reference of the first Gulf War relating it to Poker.
Dr. Schaeffer discussed that bots could do a lot of harm to the online poker trade, and that people should be told that they are playing bots. He emphasizes this would allow a player the choice of man or machine opponents.
Dr. Schaeffer knows that one day AI bots will over take Human players, it is just a matter of time.
Jesse Brown didn’t fair too badly against when we look at his net BB. He was losing 0.05 sb/h or 5.8 BB/100.
However, when we run the results through the divat analysis (removing randomness and luck from the results) we see that the long term potential loss (a gain for Polaris) would be staggering. At 0.34 sb/h, Polaris was well on it’s way to clearing out Jesse Brown at a rate of 17 BB per 100 hands.
Jesse Brown’s hands are available for importing into Poker Academy Prospector.
Polaris is available for anyone with Poker Academy to play on PAO.
