Anarchy Poker is featuring a fascinating riff on Pokerbot strategy development. Here are the two main objectives of their Pokerbot in the making.
The bot must be hard to detect for the poker rooms
We decided that impossible to detect was to much to ask for and it wasn’t really necessary. It would only take time from the more pressing developement.
The bot must be hard to detect for poker players
This is similar to the above but as we knew since before that players can see stuff the operator can’t and operaters see stuff players don’t we wanted to be clear about it.
Critical Security forum has a great thread on breaking PKR and Betfair poker clients. Here is an amusing comment in the thread on magic numbers in cryptographic algorithms.
The easy way is to search for the magic numbers… all common crypotographic algorithms use magic numbers (built in cleverly chosen constants) for seeding or influencing rounds. Searching for these leads you directly to the encryption/decryption routines without having to follow the buffers ; )
A simple magic numbers search will tell you which of the apps files implements crypto, what types of crypto are available to the app, and most importantly… will show you where the routines are. Breakpoint the magic numbers and you’re going to find the routine. For example, lets say you want to find a hash routine like MD5 or SHA when the app uses a static implementation… just search the binaries and find the ones containing the published ’round constants’, set a break on read and you’re going to wake up right in the middle of the crypto.

by: Some the biggest winning players in online poker history are gathering together this summer for a match-up with the infamous Polaris 2- the most technologically sophisticated poker Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine in the world. This event is the second edition of the Man vs. Machine Poker Championship and is scheduled to take place during the 2008 Gaming Life Expo at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas July 3-6.
Polaris 2 was created by the University of Alberta’s Computer Poker Research Group (http://poker.cs.ualberta.ca) and is the result of several years of scientific research and thousands of man-hours of development of the Pokerbot logic.
The human players slated to join in the match are professional poker coaches or contributors to the widely recognized online poker training site Stoxpoker.com. Each of the human players participating in the challenge has won millions playing for the highest stakes against some of the best poker players in the world.
Bryce Paradis, head coach at Stoxpoker.com and winner of over 2.5 million dollars at online poker in 2007, added that “Against the current AI in Polaris 2, the average poker player would be completely dominated. The Polaris 2 team has made incredible improvements since the match last year. The most powerful change is that the AI will now learn from and adapt to its opponents’ play as the match progresses. This year’s Man vs. Machine match is going to push our team to their limit.”
In 2007, Polaris 1 competed with professionals Phil “The Unabomber” Laak and Ali Eslami in the city of Vancouver, Canada. The series ended in a very close finish, with a final score of two wins, one loss, and one statistical tie for the human team of Phil and Ali. Each round comprised of a 500 duplicate hand match, wherein the same series of cards was dealt to both players, with each one playing opposite hands in the game with the AI taking the other side. At the end of the match the total number of chips won or lost by each team determined the winner. In an effort to reduce the element of random luck to a minimum, the same format will be used again this year.
The key members of the Stoxpoker.com team are professionals Nick Grudzien, IJay Palansky, as well as Stoxpoker contributor Matt Hawrilenko, all of whom can boast well over $1M in lifetime cash-game limit hold’em winnings. Additional professional players are expected to round out the team in the coming weeks.
