Bayesian Poker Simulation
A probabilistic take on Texas Hold'em—using Bayesian updates and simulation to sharpen decision-making at the table.
Background and Description
Poker has long been an interesting pastime from a game theory perspective. A few poor poker sessions combined with a desire to brush up on my Bayesian background led to an attempt to simultaneously gain insight into better play as well as stepping up my problem solving toolkit.
Here you'll find an analysis and simulation on employing Bayesian principles in the standard Texas Hold'em poker setting to great effect.
