Computer scientist and poker player Ben Kushigian talks to Carlos and Andrew about the limitations of poker solvers, what we don’t know we don’t know about them, how they could be improved, the potential for open source solutions, and more. Plus, he’s got an interesting spot from a satellite bubble for the strategy segment.
5 players remain, 4 get paid $55+5 tickets, 1 gets $8 (so we’re on the ticket bubble). This spot seemed like a crucial moment where I had the opportunity to eat some variance but with high payoff.
