About the Book

Currently, random numbers used in computer programs to play poker, are pseudo - random. That means they are generated in a predictable way. In this book the computer programs used to play all the differenty game of poker,are truly random. Nothing is predictable. Through the ages, many have tried to successfully construct systems to play the games automatically without en- cumbrance. None has ever succeeded. This book shows the first computer programs that will allow the automatic playing of poker games anywhere. In the home, casinos, aircrafts, ships and all places of people meeting, in comfort and in style. Up to now, the only way we can assure true randomness, is to have someone shuffle and cut the deck after each game. This is acceptable because it is fair, and it works well. But good dealers are hard to find for home games. Furthermore, it is slow play and cards can be marked, etc. And chips are nice to have. And the more the merrier. But isn't it time for them to go? I will surely miss cards. But it's time for them to go. Card dealing is too too expensive.


About the Author

The author is a biologist with undergraduate and graduate degrees from Huter College, NY and Georgia State University, Atlanta GA respectively.
 
Since his graduate degree training included Computer Programming, he was selected to join the team the U.S. Government had created from it's employees, to computerize all facilities in The Veterans Administration Hospitals. This was the early 1980's, and needless to say, no private company could do it. Being a Medical Technologist, He labored as a Laboratory Coordinator with the team that successfully computerized the medical laboratories.
 
So he caught the bug and thought that he could write a program to play the game of poker. Needless to say "The lab ain't no poker table". The main problem was time and lack of poker-playing experience at the big boy's level. So he had to wait until retiring. Then he worked 16 hours a day, 3 months on, 3 months off (which included many trips to Vegas). Now here we are. You be the judge.
