Beyond Nash: The Future of Poker Solvers

In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Dr. Sam Ganzfried, one of the pioneer AI game theory researchers who paved the way for modern solvers (having co-developed Carnegie Mellon’s famous Claudico poker AI). Dr. Ganzfried discusses some of the major flaws of the current algos and solutions of modern solvers. He also highlights some better algos and even a better solution than Nash Equilibrium, some of which he’s developing right now. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and understand how the future solvers will work, this is a must watch!
