Alpha Zero is a chess program that can think for itself, the technology to improve and understand and adapt inside a chess game is legendary,
the opinion, is that Alpha Zero technology could change the world of poker for the better, currently the are people on tables who collude to win games, which spoils the games makes them less fun to play and genuinely less enjoyable, the are several ways, players collude, what i believe if you applied the technology of Alpha Zero, of a computer program with a learning technique, you can train these technologies to identify cheats, people who can predict the future from patterns, by the technology learning the patterns and implementing them different from what they are use to, therefore making players more unsure, you can train the technology to self learn when a collusion is taking place and you can show that collusion no longer pays by changing the game play and dynamics,
if you have people colluding on how to win, you are just scamming honest players out of cash, you could train the technology to learn when someone has hacked the system immediately ban them from playing because they can see the cards. the technology could rule supreme making sure people cannot abuse the poker system google technically have the system to advance the poker world and kick out all fraud connect to the system and make people play more honest, really make the game real enjoyable by basically making you play for real by developing technology that is far superior and is learning what the players do to cheat the system and other players by either collusion and patterns.
I'll give you a example, someone just shoves all in with 50 big blinds with 10 9 off suit and you have QQ like they know you have a grand hand and have shoved and could of shoved if they knew the outcome before it happened from predictive patterns,
so the technology can learn these players who are looking to cheat the system and totally learn how to punish them by unpredictability, the technology can learn how to deal cards in the most unpredictable ways, to stop fraud with-in the system and therefore make the game honest again,
the trick would be to learn techniques of cheaters and make sure they cannot game any system, but still be able to play the odds of the systems, in good ways, the technology could learn the betting patterns and techniques of how these cheaters totally game people. from poker players who speak out they speak out about many forms of collusion and corruption, which is basically giving people a higher ROI but this certainly makes the game impossible for the average man or woman to play, because technically it's fleecing people not in on the collusion, which in turn spoils the game and deters people from playing, the are also bots playing and techniques deployed which can capitalise on people miss-takes, if you are a man or woman playing a bot, the bot will always be on-top of it's game, however a human will always at some point tilt or get tired , therefore under perform to the bots level, you also have 5 player collisions, a technology like Alpha Zero maybe able to work out from the actions of the players colluding to identify when they are cheating another player or players out of money and be able to deal dud hands to them to never win in the game and making it unprofitable for them to play, as long as the player they are attempting to fleece is playing well to good.
the only goal of creating a technology that can learn this, is it's going to improve game play make it more fun and fair, which will advance the game to new levels. nobody wants to be cheated playing a game, and when it goes on, the game becomes unprofitable and really not fun.
this is just one way a technology could even out the systems and change the world for the better.
