yellow tint is clutch. similar logic with the program "flux" for PCs.

For sure and it seems like instead of being able to check back it is just folding to the minbet way too much on the river in 25bb+ pots

also i don't really know how the algorithm works aside from the very general description of "the bot learns by playing against itself."

with those two qualifiers out about how ignorant i am about this, is it reasonable that these massive river overbet spots occur rarely enough and have a high enough standard deviation that it's going to take a very long time to converge to equilibrium on them, and that might explain why the bot screws them up?

if the bot is indeed overbluffing in these spots, it would also stand to reason that the bot is overfolding when the positions are reversed, otherwise it wouldn't perceive itself to be at equilibrium. that would indicate that the humans should be employing more massive overbet bluffshoves, but i don't think i've seen the humans 11x pot as a bluff a single time so far.

just spitballing here since i don't have much info to go off of
Actually the players have employed some overbet shoves much like the bot in certain spots. Well not like the bot but they do it lol

Since Claudico is still far from GTO, there will be many of those spots. That one is just a bit more obvious to us humans.
I could be that bot folding some percenteges of KT.

Yes, the bots have a non-zero prob of every option on every street (except nuts presumably never folds or checks back on river).

If by 'every option' you mean check, bet etc, then of course that's probably right.

If you mean 'every option with every hand' that's clearly wrong, or at least it should be. It should never employ a strategy that is strictly dominated. I'm sure it does, but it shouldn't.

The first is not even true. For example, i'm sure the bot does not have a triple check raise range on all board run outs. (As an extremely obvious example)

He's doing a good job of not coming off condescending or sarcastic though.

I believe I have learned so much from this event that I feel fortunate to have come across it and been hooked by it. Congrats to all the players, but special well wishes to Doug here and for the rest of his career. He will be giving jcarver a good run as the new "KidPoker" for the Twitch age.

p.s.-- DC, please note that poker at the highest levels is still a game and can be fun win or lose. As Polk's passion for the game and life really is infectious, you may want to bump into him at the next High Roller.

This. Ive been a huge WCGhater but that have completely turned around now. I absolutely cheer for the guy nowadays, Ive given him mad respect as a player(you cant really look pass that no matter how much you dislike a person when you are as skilled as him) for a long time but hated him as a individual but his online persona =/ his irl persona and his irl persona is awesome, he is even over the top friendly with all the staff thanking several times for every service he recieves, I get that it is "std" but he doesn´t slip/forget once. WCGmom did a good job on that one.

Officially a WCGfan, no more dog pork for me.

Are the videos saved somewhere/a highlights show, or is it live stream only? Just found out about this, looks amazing.

Yeah, if you go to twitch there will be links where you can replay past sessions.

Just incase this wasn't already posted:

100k sponsorship money for the event
10k fixed payment for each of the 4 players (40k)
Remaining 60k to be distributed amongst the 4 depending on amount won from bot

Seems very low for these top players to accept but I assume they make up the value in whatever information they learn from playing the bot, and whatever sidebets they may have

I assume the rooms are also comped (along with all those redbulls).

Don't forget they also get an opportunity to learn more about AI and make valuable contacts for the future that can only help their own play.

As for Doug, he has rehabilitated his reputation tremendously (I believe outside of his play I only knew him as someone people called a d-bag) by how personable he has come across and passionate for the game.

Certainly, I can think of no better ambassador for the game from the high stakes levels than him and PStars or someone else would be wise to lock up almost unarguably the best Heads Up No Limit player who also happens to have a great personality (Sorry, DC but guys who win 18Million and can't break a smile don't qualify. Sorry, Jungle, but guys who keep finding themselves indirectly associated with scandals, are rude to hotel staff, or come across after a loss as someone that might actually snap and try to kill his opponent are not in high demand).

Go humans: good for the game and good for the species.

Doug just got it in preflop with K3o, claudico had A3s
Hand 99 or 100, I didn't see all the action because the stream just loaded but assume it was a misclick somehow?

Most impressive for me is not that he "doesnt/slip forget once" but more that it looks verry natural to him and he don t have to force himself, the guy looks genuinly cool and that s much cooler than someone trying to look cool.

Being confident of one's abilities =/= dbag.

Doug has come across as someone who believes he is the best NLHE player on the planet, but never as a dbag.
