Talk:Duplicate poker

Notability
Look at the reference for "Duplicate Poker Rules". It links to an online poker website. --Belinrahs (talk) 14:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

If a tournament was held in Oklahoma in 2007, then the London tournament that was announced in 2011 cannot be the "first." GeeZee (talk) 15:07, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Rules
IMO the article should make it clear whether the tables are isolated from each other(i.e. the players don't see what happens on the other tables). It would make sense if they were isolated, but I don't know the rules.

Origins / History
Duplicate poker was defined by Darse Billings in his 1995 M.Sc. essay "Computer Poker" (pages 29-31), including generalizations for more than two players.

Duplicate Poker was used in the highly publicized Man vs Machine poker matches, in order to reduce the element of luck.

In two isolated matches, a team of two human players play the opposite side of the same sequence of deals, against two copies of the computer program.

The duplicate format was used in the Man vs Machine matches in 2007 (Vancouver), and 2008 (Las Vegas), and has continued to be used in other matches since then.
