And so if you're deviating from that, then you're just, they're going to lose money.
And since it's a two player zero sum game, that means you're going to make money.
That's right, yeah.
So what we're actually trying to maximize is the expected value given that the opponent is playing optimally in response to us.
Now in practice, what that ends up looking like is it's putting the opponent into difficult situations where there's no obvious decision to be made.
Not at all.
It doesn't care.
So 2015, we got beat pretty badly.
And we actually learned a lot from that competition.
And in particular, what became clear to me is that the way the humans were approaching the game was very different from how the bot was approaching the game.
The bot would not be doing search.
It would just be trying to compute.
It would do like months of self-play.
It would just be playing against itself for months.
But then when it's actually playing the game, it would just act instantly.
And the humans, when they're in a tough spot, they would sit there and think for sometimes even like five minutes about whether they're going to call or fold a hand.
And it became clear to me that there's a good chance that that's what's missing from our bot.
So I actually did some initial experiments to try to figure out how much of a difference does this actually make.
And the difference was huge.
No, no, no.
