Phil Laak Beats Poker Robot
 LAS VEGAS - (PRESS RELEASE)
Chess is a game with perfect information. Poker is uncertain, incomplete and emotionally-driven. Nobody knew how this Man vs. Machine battle would go down in the history books.
"In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue Supercomputer played a well-fought match with reigning World Chess Champion, Garry Kasparov. The machine won. In what some writers called "Deep Bluff," Poker Champion Phil Laak went head-to-head with the world's best Poker Robot on July 15, 2005 and emerged victorious.
"Sponsored by GoldenPalace.com, the World Poker Robot Championship brought together six of the world's best programmers to compete for $100,000. The winner, appropriately named Poker Probot, took down the winner-takes-all prize and won the right to challenge one of poker's best players in a battle of human versus machine. The winning robot, built by Hilton "Pocket Rockets" Givens, went on to beat the University of Alberta's robot in an exhibition match.
"It was Phil Laak's turn to face the machine on Sunday, July 15, 2005 at Binion's Horseshoe Casino after six robots battled for three days to determine the Best Poker Robot in the world.

Poker Tips: A Way To Approximate The Odds |
|
A Way To Approximate The Odds
 by Clonie Gowen
It is very difficult to calculate the exact odds of hitting a drawing hand when you're sitting at the poker table. Unless you're a genius with a gift for mathematics like Chris Ferguson, you will not be able to do it. That leaves two options for the rest of us: The first option is to sit at home with a calculator, figure out the odds for every possible combination of draws, and then memorize them. That way, no matter what situation comes up, you always know the odds. But for those of us without a perfect memory, there's an easier way. Here is a simple trick for estimating those odds.
The first thing you need to do is to figure out how many "outs" you have. An "out" is any card that gives you a made hand. To do this, simply count the number of cards available that give the hand you are drawing to. For example: suppose you hold Ac 8c and the flop comes Qh 9c 4c. You have a flush draw. There are thirteen clubs in the deck and you are looking at four of them -- the two in your hand, and the two on the board. That leaves nine clubs left in the deck, and two chances to hit one.
