A Computer Program Beat Top Online Poker Players
Today, programmers are gunning for the world’s best Texas Hold ‘em players. 
Forget Deep Blue’s mastery of bishops, queens and knights. Think pocket aces, open-ended straight draws, the flop – all calculated by increasingly popular poker bots.
Last month, for the first time, a computer program beat top online poker players in a contest called “Man vs. Machine.”
About that time, a Texas Hold ‘em program created by a Hillcrest resident finished in a three-way tie for second place in an annual contest that pits artificial intelligence poker programs against each other.
The program is called “Fell Omen 2” and its play “has no weaknesses,” said creator Ian Fellows.
