So if you're playing rock every single time, that value is really low.
But if you're never playing rock, you play rock like 1% of the time, then suddenly the other person is probably going to be throwing scissors.
And when you throw a rock, the value of that action is going to be really high.
Now, you take that to poker.
What that means is the value of bluffing, for example,
If you're the kind of person that never bluffs and you have this reputation as somebody that never bluffs and suddenly you bluff, there's a really good chance that that bluff is going to work and you're going to make a lot of money.
On the other hand, if you've got a reputation, like if they've seen you play for a long time and they see, oh, you're the kind of person that's bluffing all the time, when you bluff, they're not going to buy it and they're going to call you down and you're going to lose a lot of money.
And finding that balance of how often you should be bluffing is the key challenge of a game of poker.
And you contrast that with a game like chess.
It doesn't matter if you're opening with the queen's gambit 10% of the time or 100% of the time.
The value, the expected value is the same.
So that's why we need these algorithms that understand not just we have to figure out what actions are good, but the probabilities.
We need to get the exact probabilities correct.
And that's actually when we created the bot Libratus.
Libratus means balanced because the algorithm that we designed was designed to find that right balance of how often it should play each action.
It's a good simplification.
I think that's like the main tension, but it's not just how often to bluff or not to bluff.
It's like, how often should you bet in general?
How often should you, what kind of bet should you make?
Should you bet big or should you bet small?
