Has your luck in poker run out already? Well, with the Poker Bot, that will never be a problem.

In Texas, a program focusing in poker has been made and it is called Polaris. It is a hold ‘em poker playing program which was developed by a computer poker research group at the University of Alberta. The Polaris program is composed of several robots like HyperBorean07 which is the winner of the limit equilibrium series held in the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence Computer Poker Competition. The Polaris software also has defeated professional pokers such as Nick Grudzien and Ijay Palansky.

The software in the poker bots contain variations of fixed poker strategies and an adaptive component that lays out the play of the opponent and picks the best strategy to be used against the opponent. In the poker competition which the Poker Bot joined, each match was comprised of five hundred hands and the Polaris received the cards in a room while the professional players received the same cards in a separate room. That set-up is called the duplicate system where the aspect of luck is lessened and skill is the main determining factor.
