 The second Man vs. Machine match took place on July 3-6, where a lineup of elite players from Stoxpoker.com, an internet poker training site, went head to head with the latest version of Polaris, a poker AI designed by the University of Alberta’s Computer Poker Research Group (http://poker.cs.ualberta.ca/). Polaris won with a final record of 3-2-1, and provided the CPRG with their first win over human opponents. The CPRG had created a similar event last year against professionals Phil Laak and Ali Eslami where Polaris finished with a final record of 1 win, 2 losses, and 1 tie.

 The Danish poker magazine www.acemag.dk published an article on pokerbots, almost ten pages long, following info collection from PokerAI Wiki and interviewing people in the pokerAI forums. The final article got published, and your can view some of it (collage and interview with Indiana) as well as read the english translation of the interview in this thread.
Update: The article and the interview was later on reprinted in full in the German edition of AceMag. Scanned version is available (search and ask in the forums). I would, by the way, really recommend the AceMag magazine, and subscribed for it myself. It's better than any other junk that you would locally get in German language. |

Since the initial announcement OpenHoldem picked up a lot of traction, surpasing in popularity its starting point, the WinHoldem bot framework. OpenHoldem is open source, hence completely free. The authors initially claimed full backward compatibily with WinHoldEm, and soon started to extend it with many new unique features. The OpenHoldem documentation and casino support already exceeds the one of WinHoldem too. The main links (e.g. OpenHoldem Webpage and download sections; OpenHoldem forums, and so on) can be found at http://openholdem.org. |

 The guy on the picture? It's Matrix. One of the "bots", that got kicked out early and failed to make history during the first real money, open to any human or bot live digital poker event - Poker bot world championship (PBWC). The official results are here and if you want to get some impressions of the event, follow the action in that thread. Well, I can only regret that this year I missed PWBC event (as well as Alberta's bot only event earlier). Something to definetely plan for next year. |

 Clicking on one and the same pixel everytime easily reveals automated play. But is the human behaviour modeled better if the computer bot is randomly clicking on the button? The answer is - no. When a human clicks, the distance from the click to the center of the button follows normal distribution, and not uniform. |
