Younger generation not only rely on exploitative play\u2026but try to make it as a game which is optimal and spectator-friendly<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Four years back, Dhayanithy introduced the elective \u2018<em>Competitive Strategy Through The Game of Poker<\/em>\u2018 at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iimk.ac.in\/\">IIM Kozhikode<\/a>. Because of this course, the students were able to play poker as well as study the science and logic behind the game. They started looking into simulations and developing new strategies and skills with the help of technology and AI.<\/p>\n<p>This is ground-breaking for a country who, until this date, has ruled poker as a \u201c<em>game of chance<\/em>\u201d rather than a \u201c<em>game of skill<\/em>\u201d. This is why the poker community in India is so keen in proving how much skill and logic actually lies behind every poker game, and stoking the growing competitiveness and lucrativeness of the sport.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"new-research-shows-poker-is-a-game-of-skill\">New Research Shows Poker Is A Game Of Skill<\/h2>\n<p>In other parts of the world, many universities are already acknowledging the potential of poker as a real mind sport. As early as 2015, <strong>Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/strong> (MIT) already introduced a <a href=\"https:\/\/ocw.mit.edu\/courses\/sloan-school-of-management\/15-s50-poker-theory-and-analytics-january-iap-2015\/\"><em>Poker Theory and Analytics<\/em><\/a> course to introduce students to the psychology, strategy, and decision-making that happens behind every poker match. At the <strong>University of Ottawa<\/strong>, they also has a course called <a href=\"https:\/\/mysite.science.uottawa.ca\/phofstra\/MAT1374\/\"><em>Probability and Games of Chance: Poker 101<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, poker has gone a long way in the scientific front that just recently, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/cmu-poker-bot-to-take-on-chinese-players-in-exhibition-match\">able to develop Libratus, a poker AI<\/a>. This year, Libratus was able to best four of the best Texas Hold\u2019em players in the world in a special organized competition.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dhayanithy adds that in addition to studying poker with a logical and scientific approach, the evolution of the game from an individualistic sport into a team format is contributing towards helping India change its old perception about the game of poker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The younger generation of poker enthusiasts and progressive academics are breaking the \u201cpoker is a game of chance\u201d perception in India by steadily incorporating technological and academic approaches in the game.
