Hmm, why is it surprising that AI is good at poker? The way I see the game is that a bad poker player will just hold a model of his hand in mind. A slightly better one will also hold a model of his opponent's hand. Even better one will also model his opponent's model of himself... and so on recursively. And who's really good at recursion? Computers.

I tend to agree, but I suppose there is also a bluffing element.

How likely is it your opponent is bluffing, based on their past behavior?

Should you try and bluff this hand?
