The challenge of poker
TL;DR: The design considerations and architecture of the poker program Poki are described, which is a program capable of playing reasonably strong poker, but there remains considerable research to be done to play at world-class level.

Approximating game-theoretic optimal strategies for full-scale poker
Darse Billings,Neil Burch,Aaron Davidson,Robert C. Holte,Jonathan Schaeffer,Terence Schauenberg,Duane Szafron +6 more
TL;DR: The computation of the first complete approximations of game-theoretic optimal strategies for full-scale poker is addressed, and linear programming solutions to the abstracted game are used to create substantially improved poker-playing programs.
Proceedings Article
Bayes' bluff: opponent modelling in poker
Finnegan Southey,Michael Bowling,Bryce Larson,Carmelo Piccione,Neil Burch,Darse Billings,Chris Rayner +6 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a Bayesian probabilistic model for a broad class of poker games, separating the uncertainty in the game dynamics from the uncertainty of the opponent's strategy.
Proceedings Article
Opponent modeling in poker
TL;DR: Loki is described and evaluated, a poker program capable of observing its opponents, constructing opponent models and dynamically adapting its play to best exploit patterns in the opponents' play.
Proceedings Article
Using probabilistic knowledge and simulation to play poker
TL;DR: Progress is described in developing a high-performance pokerplaying program that introduces a new betting strategy that returns a probabilistic betting decision, a probability triple, that gives the likelihood of a fold, call or raise occurring in a given situation.
