WSOP – Texas Holdem is an online room for playing poker against real opponents. There’s no need to download WSOP – Texas Holdem to your PC, as you can play with Facebook Gameroom or with your browser. But if you want to play it on your mobile, there is an app for that.

Graphics 8/10

Unlike online casinos offering slot machines too bright and colorful, WSOP looks moderate and stylish, This sort of game is a noble one, so the design is noble too. Deep blue hi-tech background highlights the green tables. The cards are small, but well readable. So are player profiles and the dealer’s comments. Though the screen space could have been redistributed to give more of it to the table, the game still looks good.

Sound 7/10

Thank you for no music! The developers realize that poker requires concentration, so there are only sounds that indicate game events. They are easily distinguishable, so even you look away from the screen, sounds will tell you what’s going on. And if you like music, you can turn on anything you like, but use an external player, please.

Gameplay 9/10

The way you play is similar to most online poker rooms. As you enter, you join a random game with random opponents and wait until the new round starts. Then you get dealt like others and join the game immediately. Like a decent poker room should, WSOP offers various rooms, with different bet limits.

The rules of the game are well known enough not to recollect them in this WSOP Texas Holdem review. It’s enough to say that the app offers both Texas Holdem and Omaha. You are supposed to know the rules, but there is still some assistance; for example, the combination you get is displayed directly to save your efforts.

As you register, you get 1 million chips. But it’s not as much as it seems, the minimal buy-in being 50.000. You can count on daily bonuses and giveaways, but if you’re not sure you’ll win, you better support yourself with investments. No matter if you’re training here before entering real poker rooms with real bets and money withdrawal, or you’re just having fun this way. The investments will bring you some good time, and the skill can replace the investments.

Lasting Appeal 10/10

When speaking of such projects, we, first of all, mean the original game they’re drawn upon. And this time it’s one of the most popular card games mankind ever knew. So the app will be popular as long as it exists, we guess. It doesn’t take long to launch or join, and it’s always just one click away.

The Verdict

It’s a decent poker game, the one that satisfies all the requirements. You cannot withdraw your funds from there, but it’s an entertaining project, so if you want to make real bets, there are other rooms. This one is for pure fun, and if you like it, you can download WSOP – Texas Holdem to your mobile or Facebook Gameroom.

A recent PokerNews article that caught the attention of our readers was The Perfect Poker Bot Is Almost Here. The article described a bot known as Baby Tartanian 8, which had won the most recent Annual Computer Poker Competition and how researchers plan to create a perfect poker bot within two to three years.

The bot's creator, Noam Brown, was kind enough to take some time from his busy schedule to chat about his award-winning bot, including how it came to fruition, and even how it would perform in the online poker world; the answer to the latter is quite worrying.

Brown explained that the Annual Computer Poker Competition has been running since 2006, with no-limit hold'em featured from around 2008, and during that time, as you'd imagine, the bots have grown more complex.

'I think back in 2008-2009 we were just starting on no-limit Texas hold'em, and the bots would only consider calling, folding, making a pot-sized bet, or going all in,' Brown said. 'When you look at the card abstractions, which is what we call them, when you consider the possible hands, you have to group them together and treat a lot of hands identically to keep the game a reasonable size. Back then, all of the possible river hands were grouped into maybe 500 buckets and this time we did around 1 million buckets.'

Writing the code for the bot took approximately one month to complete, then the bot was run for about a month on the San Diego Super Computer, which has a staggering 3,700 CPUs 18 terabytes assigned to it. However, you don't need access to a super computer to create such a powerful bot, as is evident by two other teams who finished in the top three of the competition Brown won.

'Actually, this year for example, we were one of the top three bots, but the other two were not part of a university or research group, they were out there on their own,' Brown said. 'One of them is a professional poker player who is also a software engineer, and one of them is an amateur poker player who is a former employee of Google, and both of them made great bots on budgets of under $10,000.

'The cost of computing has come down dramatically, particularly in the past year, so they were able to leverage Amazon's Cloud computing services to make competitive bots, so it's not out of reach of the average person to make a bot similar to ours, assuming they know how to make a bot like this, which is a tricky thing to do.'

If you frequent poker forums then you will no doubt have heard claims that certain poker variants are 'solved,' that is it's possible to play absolutely perfectly, but Brown claims that no-limit hold'em will not be solved in our lifetimes, if ever.

'Limit hold'em and no-limit hold'em are very different from a competition standpoint,' he said. 'In limit hold'em, you have three options: call, fold, or bet. In no-limit hold'em you have essentially an infinite number of options because you can bet any amount, and each of those different bets you can make is treated by the computer as a separate action. If you wanted to solve no-limit Texas hold'em you would have to consider, if you were talking of chip stacks of 20,000 chips as we use in the annual poker computer competition, that you're talking about a game that is something like 10^163 (10 followed by 163 zeroes), whereas limit Texas hold'em is probably around 10^15, so the scale is unimaginable. There is no chance that no-limit Texas hold'em is going to be solved within our lifetime, if ever. That said, there are ways to get good approximate solutions and I think that certainly in the next few years we will see a bot that can take down the very top pros, but there is a big difference between that and solved.'

Brown went on to explain that many people make false assumptions about the best poker bots in that they believe the bot has to be predictable, but this isn't the case, they even bluff.

'It's not that surprising [that bots bluff], because what the computer is doing is simulating trillions and trillions of hands of poker, and it doesn't really think about bluffing the way we do,' he said. 'Really what it does is it runs into a situation repeatedly and it notices that even if it doesn't have a very strong hand that it can still make more money by betting.'

The bots do have some weaknesses, though. One is that the bots on this high level are limited to heads-up poker and do not perform well in, say, a six-handed environment. This could be set to change, because Brown revealed there was a lot of interest at this year's Annual Computer Poker Competition for a six-player contest and he believes that this will happen at the 2017 edition of the competition, although those entering it will need to put in a lot of time and effort to have a competitive bot.

Another weakness the bot shows is its ability to exploit weaknesses in its opponents with one reason being it needs to play trillions of hands to create a Game Theory Optimal strategy, so it wouldn't be able to play enough hands against a human opponent. When we asked Brown if bots can exploit opponents' weaknesses, here's what he had to say:

'That's a great question,' Brown said. 'When we're doing these trillions of hands we're playing against our own bots and it's proven that if the bot plays itself then it will eventually converge to a Nash Equilibrium, that is Game Theory Optimal (GTO) strategy that is impossible to beat. Now there's another component to poker which is opponent exploitation. Just because you have a GTO strategy does not mean you are going to make as much money as possible from your opponents. This is something that human pros are very good at, they find a weakness and take full advantage of it. Obviously you could try to exploit your opponent and their weaknesses, but you're opening yourself up to exploitation and therefore not playing a GTO strategy, but it is still in many cases worthwhile.

'There has been a lot of research into how to do this with a bot, and unfortunately it hasn't been very successful so far. The techniques that we use, where we play trillions of hands and it learns what works against an opponent and what doesn't work, would work against human pros also but the problem is you would have to play trillions of hands against your opponent to create a strategy against them. The techniques we use now cannot arrive at a good strategy to respond an opponent's weaknesses in a small number of hands. It's an area of active research, how to exploit an opponent over a limited number of samples. We don't know why human players are very good at this, and it is probably the key area of weakness in poker bots today.'

Current limitations aside, Brown is confident that Baby Tartanian 8 would dominate the heads-up no-limit hold'em scene if it was deployed online. But would Brown's bot clean up at online poker?

'Definitely,' he said. 'If we're talking about two player, yeah, it would definitely win. Our previous bot played against the top four heads-up players in the world, and although it didn't come out ahead, it was very competitive at that level and this agent is far stronger, so I think there are very few people who would be able to beat it.'

Although Brown is extremely confident that bots such as the Baby Tartanian 8 would dominate heads-up games if they were deployed in the online poker world, he does not believe that bots as strong as his will be widespread online, as some people believe.

'I certainly think two-player bots will be stronger than humans, but I don't necessarily think that they will be widespread online,' he said. 'I think the online poker sites are very effective at detecting and removing bots.'
