Seems unfair. Hard to read the face of an AI to tell if it's bluffing or not.


The 90's called. They want their poker strategy back.

Poker is not about reading your opponents "tells". That is a myth perpetuated by Hollywood and ... professional poker players.

While there definitely could be some value in using psychological manipulation to best your "live" opponent, gaining some advantage via a physical tell is a crap shoot at best except against the absolute worst players or the biggest mark.


I did play with a guy for several sessions who would consistently shake his leg whenever he had a good hand. I felt so bad for him (after busting him a few times) that I told him about it so he'd fix the shaking.
