GA poker players old and new

Alamopoker.com has a post (here) to the abstract of a CEC paper that used evolutionary computation to learn to play poker. This reminded me that the original use of Steve Smith’s LS-1 system (the original Pittsburgh genetics-based machine learning system) was to learn poker. That work was completed almost 25 years ago (S.F. Smith, A Learning System Based on Genetic Adaptive Algorithms, Ph.D. Thesis, Computer Science Dept., University of Pittsburgh, Dec 1980)! As always, IlliGAL encourages its readers to gamble responsibly.
