In Response To: Poker: Human experts against the computer (Phil Simborg)

In a one against one game is important to try to understand which strategy the opponent uses and which strategy is the most suited against him. Here it looks like the computer has found a strategy that works very well in most cases and the players were quite surprised, someone talked about big bets to win small. I think next time probably they will have better chances to win because more time to prepare, this time they had to find out something in quite a short time against a very strong opponent, the scheduling was also very hard.

I would compare this with the moment when Jellyfish appeared, it was very strong but beatable.If anyone start learning this strategy maybe it will happen like in backgammon, everyone will adopt it and the luck will be the most important factor. However in poker I think we never can say a strategy or a player is unbeatable because in theory is always possible to improve changing something.

"So in backgammon, the person who gets the best results against xg may not be the person who gets the best results against humans"

I agree, you can train to do well again XG but to play a human hardly the same strategy can be the best, for example just taking any cube. I think also in backgammon when playing against XG a human is an underdog but against another human is possible to do better than Xg.
