Default Re: Using Math to Beat Poker

[ QUOTE ]
what Im really asking is ignoring tells, position, type of opponents, and all the other stuff just using strictly math can you beat low limit hold em?

First of all, it depends on how closely you model each situation with "strictly (sic) math".

As someone who has implemented various AI algorithms for poker, I can say that you'll gain a lot by modelling how your opponents betting affects your winning chances.

My opinion: If you did it the way you suggest, without regard to adjusting your winning chances when your opponents raise, you will probably lose in all but the smallest micro-limits. You'll probably break even at absolute best at medium limits or higher. Ignoring position is very detrimental. Ignoring opponents betting is horrible.
