Computer poker player

T. Sandholm and A. Gilpin from Carnegie Mellon University have started poker AI research in 2004 beginning with unbeatable agent for 3-card game called Rhode-Island Hold 'em. Next step was GS1 which outperformed the best commercially available poker bots. Since 2006 poker agents from this group have participated in annual computer competitions. ``At some point we will have a program better than the best human players'' -- claims Sandholm. His bot, Claudico, faced off against four human opponents in 2015. In 2017 the program's latest software, Libratus, faced off against four professional poker players. By the end of the experiment the four human players had lost a combined $1.8 million.
