Why wasn't each poker pro given an HUD to real-time track Libratus' betting stats? This is something all online pros use (and such pros would never agree to play high stakes online without one). Libratus certainly had access to the equivalent of an HUD, right? I presume this created significant imbalance between Libratus and the humans.,(reply>), The computer is playing game theory optimal poker. It's the equivalent of a bot in rock-paper-scissors that's perfectly random each turn. It won't win by the biggest margin, but it will win.,(reply>), They had access to hand history - are you sure that they were prohibited from using HUDs?<br>Do you happen to know how many hours a day they played each day - it would also be useful to know if the competing players were made aware of their collective standings in the competition whilst it was on &amp; indeed if the players could interact daily? <br>I'm also interested to know by what margin the AI won - If the players were aware of their positions, this may well have factored into their in-game decisions.<br>Shame there isn't a paper linked.
