Poker-AI.org

Greetings! In the course of reading the forum, a small mess formed in my head. And since I am new to AI, it is difficult for me to choose a starting point for my path. As far as I understand, the best direction in AI poker bots today is Reinforcement Learning, but it is not well researched. Or is the CFR + MCTS approach still relevant today?
Interested in tournament poker at max 8. Are my thoughts correct or not? I read information for newcomers to the forum, read the works of the most active topics of this forum. Many of the links don't work. And I'm also limited to Python programming) I have an open holdem bot profile.
Written with comrades over the past 3 years. and I would like to transfer these ideas to the algorithm and machine learning models. Please give me feedback on my condition.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not familiar with the very latest research but you will not go too far wrong by looking at https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~noamb/research.html to start with. You should find the algorithm you want to implement before making a decision on the programming language. It's likely that Python will not be fast enough.

Thank you for the warm welcome)
I will definitely get acquainted with your link. Recently I found such a tutorial how much is it viable?

From the 5 minutes I spent reading it I'd say that is a very good summary. (Though DeepMind didn't develop DeepStack)
