Best Blu Ray Player Upconvert

The penultimate challenge of silicon and carbon.

time disconnected I have, I confess. Not that I have left the game in the background, it really is that I have a couple of months focused on one of them exclusively.

Now that computers and we win in checkers, reversi, wari, chess, backgammon, Renju, LoA ... man strangely hopeful in a game that might seem relatively easy for computers. I'm talking nothing more and nothing less than the poker, yes! that game that I had always despised by considering semi-trivial, with a terrible influence of chance and more psychological than anything else. I'm reading my

The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky and there really is some math and a lot of logic in this. The way to see the poker in a serious way is clear, eventually the luck will be balanced, as it takes 1000 rounds but if your opponent makes a mistake the scales fall from your side.

The grace of all this is that computers could easily be programmed to play perfectly if it was not because the opponent can change his style (becoming more aggressive or passive), forcing the computer to adjust his style to make a profit. But if the way in which the computer changes of style is predicted by the human latter change its style to optimize against the new robot style. So everything becomes a battle of styles that will have the opportunity to see very soon.

The computer side are those of the University of Alberta (yes, the people who played Dr Tinsley noses in women and those who beat me LoA) with its Polaris program, knowing you would say there is little hope for humanity . A represent us Phil Laak and Ali Eslami , highly technical professional players. Do 2 people? If even the comabte is one to one (heads up, in terms Pokeriana) the robot will be doubled played 500 hands against each of them so that the cards will go for the robot A, we will against against another human to robot B, and thus minimizing the chance.

variant of poker, the popular Texas Hold'em Limit and the date the 23 and 24 July.
I hope you have a good coverage of the event. I also leave the link on the official event page The First Man-Machine Poker Championship

not desire, but knowing these smart-ass in Alberta I am afraid that the computer will win. Fortunately we will always have the go, is not it?
