I only signed up for the geekiness. I think it would become a cesspool of scams otherwise, so, its probably best to leave in all the nitty gritty details.

Well it is not simply about being first. If a Professor publishes many good papers, he is more likely to keep his job and get new grants from government to continue his research. I think that this is the reason why researchers are not sharing ideas before they publish them.
And there are better places to discuss about scientific approaches in poker AI than this forum. I think that this forum is actually more for botters who want to make money with bots, and not contribute to science. At least that is what I conclude from reading the topics.

I'm not sure he meant your AI ideas, more saying that you're welcome to stick around and share any ideas relating to what you want to talk about?

I have no idea. If I tried to create an AI, I have intensively studied the game of Sifosis. Sifosis has the strongest balance with the words one top regs to play against him. He uses six strategies. He has switches between the strategies depending on the opponent. He never changes his game and he is sick multitabler player. Probably the information is worthless.

I thought you were a bonus hunter, not really a botter?

I generally agree with OneDayItllWork though. Feel free to stick around and express your ideas but the target audience and target topics is, as mentioned, poker AI research.

Let me explain why I'm here.

Yeah, I don't know nothing about programming. I hired people to do this. I started using poker bot in September 2010 and finished in January 2013. I did not know anything about this community and I came to see it.

I've just read a couple of threads, and all I see is flop+2cards talking about business, investment, credit card fraud and identity fraud...

I don't think I'm speaking out of line here in saying:

Is there a cash prize for the perfect poker AI? Do I understand you correctly? How much?

Are there any rules? 5 card draw have 2 betting rounds. I think to create the perfect AI for this game is easier than for TH. Would this be considered? Choose a simple game, if you want to be the first.

Me neither. This is a non-issue and nothing is going to change in terms of structure etc.

As with anything in life, if you have a great idea you won't tell anybody about it because they might steal it. Whether this is a business idea, a random money-making scheme or a research idea, people want to protect their IP.
In academia it's the same, if you have an idea that you think is worthy for publishing a paper on, it's unlikely that you'll discuss it with someone outside of your research group in fear of them taking the idea and writing their own paper and claiming all the credit before you did. This is basically a "race-to-market" issue if you want to look at it in economic terms. Whoever gets their first, wins.

I don't see the problem tbh. PokerAI is and always was a place to discuss poker ai related topics. There is a market place, which can be used for offers/requests, so I don't see what exactly should change? The reason the market place might not have a ton of traffic is probably more a trust issue (personally, I think there are smarter ways to find collaborators than getting random people in a forum).

Personally, and I believe I am speaking for spears here too, we wanted to keep this forum open to discuss AI and approaches to solving poker or rather creating strong poker bots.
I don't mind if people come on here that are more concerned about the money and business side of things but I certainly don't wantto make it the focus.

The focus is and will be poker and AI research for poker.

It's certainly less attractive for winning poker botters to share details about their setup but sharing details about their strategy and how they came up with it doesn't really hurt them. Of course they might not see value in that and nobody can force them but I think there already are (and were in the past) very smart and succesful people on here that openly discuss(ed) their ideas.

Ideally I'd want to get all the big researchers from academia on here to share ideas but there are probably issues with that since there is a race to publish papers on ideas so they tend to keep them to themselves. However, I know that they are already sharing ideas with eachother on occasion so I'm hoping to bring them together here.

I agree. I think that poker-ai.org should be a solid research forum, while all money making related topics goes somewhere else (perhaps a separate forum).

Exactly! Why do you need a forum, if you have a winning bot? What percentage of the audience has a winning bot? Many people need to cooperate.

Fraudsters need a big community. I do not think anyone is offered cooperation to further deception. Yes, maybe someone overestimated their capabilities, but it's not a cheating.

Yes, probably you are right, but it's not because of trust issues anonymous guys on the internet.

I'm not so sure.

It could be simply that once someone has a winning bot, they probably won't want to share it after the work they've put in.
This also seems kind of valid, since a lot of the bots in the marketplace are untested or unfinished.

Who knows though, it could change with one offer.

Poker-ai should not only be the site for geeks. I think this should be a platform for investors, affiliates, bonus hunters and all who want to make money using gambling bot.

My view from the outside: "Without these people you (botters) will earn 2 times less."

I am waiting for them here.
