If this were a poker game, all I’m doing is trying to read how the hand played and put a player on a hand or range of hands. It’s just me trying to take a scenario where we know certain facts and trying to determine what logical process brought about a decision. I haven’t consulted any of the indicted or other people within the company. Keep in mind, this is all my own personal speculation.
So, I started to try to imagine, logically, how things came so unglued.

It’s easy to go for the simple answer that Howard Lederer, Ray Bitar, Chris Ferguson, and Rafe Furst are greedy, thieving, conmen who set out to rip off Full Tilt players for their own benefit but that doesn’t really fit with the people I know. None of the people I know there are stupid. The duplicate system will be employed in order to balance out the luck of the cards and emphasize the capabilities of the participants.I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how things could have gone so horribly wrong at Full Tilt Poker.

And what do I read? I read about science and technology stuff."Įach match will consist of 500 hands, with the cards dealt in duplicate, meaning that the Polaris program will receive the same cards in one room that the professional will receive in the other room and vice versa.

"When I come home at the end of the day I don't turn on the TV and watch sports, I read. "There is a part of me, deep down inside, that is a nerd," Laak said. Laak says he's familiar with the artificial intelligence poker programs by Schaeffer and Darse Billings, who earned his PhD here last November.
He intends to put in up to 40 hours of practice play during the week leading up to the match.

Laak, a former World Series of Poker champion and host of the Mojo TV program I Bet You, is taking the challenge seriously. The professionals will earn cash for each match they win. At the end of each match, Laak and Eslami will combine their chip totals and compare them against Polaris' combined total. In each match, Laak and Eslami will play simultaneously against Polaris in separate rooms. The tournament is designed to eliminate luck and focus on pure skill. The competition will feature four Texas Hold 'Em matches between Polaris and the two poker professionals. This makes poker a much harder challenge for computer scientists from an artificial intelligence perspective," Schaeffer said. In poker you can't see your opponent's hand, and you don't know what cards will be dealt. "The difference is that chess is a game of perfect knowledge, meaning there is nothing hidden from the players. Schaeffer, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence, believes the event is a natural evolution of the 1994 match between IBM's "Deep Blue" chess program and Gary Kasparov, the then-world chess champion. "This is a world first and, I hope, the beginning of something that will grow and become an annual event," said Jonathan Schaeffer, a team leader of the Polaris program. The two-day event is being staged in conjunction with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence's annual conference, July 23 - 24 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver, B.C. Polaris, the reigning world champion computer-poker program, will challenge two of the sharpest poker players in the world, Laak and Eslami. A poker-playing computer program developed at the University of Alberta will battle against the pair of poker kings in a $50,000 contest on Monday.
