Summary
Prerequisites: Chapter 25 and all theory chapters, in particular Chapters 24, 27, and 32.
Each semester my game theory class has a poker tournament, playing either a version of KUHN POKER or a version of VNM POKER. The assignment looks like this.
Robot-KUHN POKER(3, 4, 2, 3) Tournament Every student will submit one poker-playing robot and will provide
• A nice sounding name for the robot,
• The three probabilities that dictate when the robot computer player, having the first move, should raise when facing the lowest value card jack J, the middle-valued card queen Q, and the highest value card king K.
•The three probabilities that dictate when the robot should call when facing a jack, a queen, or a king, having checked in the first move and having seen the other player raise.
•The three probabilities that dictate when the robot should call when facing a jack, a queen, or a king, having the second move and having seen the first player raise.
•The three probabilities that dictate when the robot should raise when facing a jack, a queen, or a king, having the second move and having seen the first player check.
Class Activity Create your own robot. What twelve numbers would you choose, and why? Discuss your choices with classmates.
