Ideal Poker

Ideal Poker was an insight found from generalizing the insight in Nash's Ideal Money and specifically applying it to poker. This was expounded on at the blog site https://thewealthofchips.wordpress.com/ as well as other places I will gather and list here eventually. Later it was shown to me that there is a parallel formal mathematical term for this called 'without loss of generality'. The intention of such a specific application was to illuminate the generalization.

In other words when the insight in Nash's Ideal Money struck me, I realized it applied to all fields involving 'networks' (or in another sense 'all fields' if we can render our observations of them to have a network).

Poker doesn’t get a lot of mainstream media coverage, but a Bloomberg article published on Friday has revealed the origins and extent of a Russian bot farm – and it’s caused a stir on poker Twitter.

The article – The Russian Bot Army That Conquered Online Poker – sees author Kit Chellel talk to the founders of the Bot Farm Corporation, an Omsk-based group that’s flirted with legitimacy, sold bots to poker sites for liquidity, and now wants to create a new rake-free model for online poker that pits players against house bots.

The twist in the tale is that the Omsk group is now making another bid for legitimacy. They want to create a new model for online poker, where players are matched against house bots with similar skill levels. This would eliminate rake but create a game that’s like a casino game, with players against a house that could presumably dial up the bots’ skill levels whenever they wanted.
