THE INTELLIGENT POKER PLAYER

As poker theory develops, the field is becoming more abstruse and mathematical, gradually becoming less accessible to the layperson. 'The Intelligent Poker Player' by Newall aims to reverse this trend by presenting a cohesive and sophisticated method of play in plain English. This approach, in principle, can be used to analyze any form of poker, although this mainly shows applications in the popular forms of Limit and No-Limit Hold 'em. It is also the first book to discuss the emergent field of artificial poker intelligence - otherwise known as poker robots. The best computers are capable of playing Heads-Up Limit Hold 'em at a world class level, and this book deconstructs some interesting features of their play. Indexed 416 Pages Paperbound 2011
