One of the reasons why I stopped playing for some period is that I had strong feelings that I played with AI( Even in the regular PC multiplayer games I have the same feel.

I don't think that an AI can be the opponent for a human in Poker.

Thank you for your hard work! Your opinion completely coincides with mine, and I am glad of it. It is very cool that the world of poker is developing because I have been playing for about 2 years and I like this game because everything here depends only on my actions and on my ability to play this game. I often play here fi.vikingslots.com since you can withdraw money directly to a bank card. Plus, online is very different from the live table, as inexperienced players can get caught, and because of this, you can easily win money

Indeed, that's what they claim. However, the amount of variance reduction also depends on how well the value functions estimate the true expected value. I would assume that the value functions are even less precise in 6-max as opposed to heads-up. Also, if you can't factor in card distribution because you don't deal duplicate hands, you can't account for "card luck". Theoretically, Pluribus could have been dealt strong hands disproportionately often. That's why the sample size is still on the low side IMO.

It doesn't matter if author is aware of 10k sample. There are so many news bot beats best humans in poker.
10k sample is far away of a proof of being better.

Their comment about hand JQ bot vs QT human, both hitting top pair, and claiming bot checks flop (without preflop initiative) to trap opponent, then again on turn it traps opponent and again on river traps opponent (totally fishy comments). Hands played by bot are fine, i am referring to their commenting on hands played is ridicilous.

It's reasonable to be extra cautious about some published papers as you often get the impression the result of a paper was a foregone conclusion and statistics etc. are just staged. However, in this case, the paper was written by Noam Brown who has an excellent reputation and has been very active in the ACPC since it's very start.
I think this is an excellent paper as it's very well written and is a fun read for even for non-scientists.

You have a point regarding sample size though. AIVAT is an excellent metric to compare bot vs bot performance because you can play duplicate hands with known strategies. I think even despite using AIVAT the sample size in this format is a little shallow considering they can't know the strategy distribution of the humans and they couldn't deal duplicate hands.

On the other hand, it's still an impressive result and a great paper with every information transparently included.

You missed the reference to AIVAT on your first reading, which was a bit dumb, so I highlighted it for you.

And still you didn't read it, which makes you look utterly ridiculous.

It's been fun discussing this but I'm a bit short of time to continue further. Any more dumb or obnoxious comments are likely to be deleted.

Sample size only 10k hands. Any poker player knows that 10k hands is way too small sample to make any conclusions.

And the author knows this too, which is why the quoted results are those resulting from AIVAT variance reduction technique.

The best player in the world could be losing after 10k hands, and bad player could be also winning after 10k hands.
100k would be appropriate sample size.
Also their explanations about hands played are super fishy, obviously guy who was writting it is amateur for poker.

Superhuman AI for multiplayer poker

2019-07-12T07:05:58+00:00

Abstract
In recent years there have been great strides in artificial intelligence (AI), with games often serving as challenge problems, benchmarks, and milestones for progress. Poker has served for decades as such a challenge problem. Past successes in such benchmarks, including poker, have been limited to two-player games. However, poker in particular is traditionally played with more than two players. Multiplayer games present fundamental additional issues beyond those in two-player games, and multiplayer poker is a recognized AI milestone. In this paper we present Pluribus, an AI that we show is stronger than top human professionals in six-player no-limit Texas hold’em poker, the most popular form of poker played by humans.
