    Optimizing Poker Strategies: The Impact of Cooperation in Hold'em Poker

    Okay, so here's the plan... I train several young and hungry non-poker players for several months to play perfect, mathematical poker. Since I spend much of my time doing computer simulations, I can pretty much figure out all of the odds in any given situation. I create a solid game plan...
