Abstract
SARTRE (Similarity Assessment Reasoning for Texas hold'em
via Recall of Experience) is a heads-up (two-player) poker-bot that plays
limit Texas Hold'em using the case-based reasoning methodology. This
paper presents an overview of the SARTRE system. As far as we are aware
SARTRE is the only poker-bot designed specically to play heads-up
Texas Hold'em using a CBR foundation. The design and implementa-
tion of the current system is discussed. Case features are illustrated and
their reasons for selection are addressed. Finally, avenues for future areas
of investigation are then listed.
