Poker Bot “Libratus” Moves Toward Victory Against Top Pros
Poker pros share thoughts with community.
In-depth Reddit AMA plus Doug Polk video interviews.
High profile professional poker players Donger Kim, Jason Les, Jimmy Chou and Daniel McAulay have spent most of January competing against heads-up No Limit Texas Hold’em poker bot “Libratus” — a program developed by Carnegie Mellon University Professor Tuomas Sandholm alongside PhD student Noam Brown.
With the competition winding down, it appears that “Libratus” will claim victory over its human opponents who are battling it out at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh. This has in turn made mainstream headlines across the tech, science and business world.
