I was doing some research on game theory and Kuhn Poker, and I read that Player 1 (the player that bet/check first) has many optimal strategies but player 2 only has one. Does anyone know what are the optimal strategies are for player 1? Because I tried searching the net but couldn't find anything.

Another question, how do you find the value of game?

Thank you very much. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =]


ps. I'm not sure this is the right section to ask so feel to move this thread.

1. What is game theory?

Game theory is a mathematical approach to understanding decision-making in situations where multiple players or agents are involved. It involves analyzing the choices, strategies, and outcomes of different players in a given game or situation.

2. How does game theory relate to Kuhn Poker?

Kuhn Poker is a simplified version of the popular card game poker, which was used by economist Thomas Kuhn to demonstrate the principles of game theory. It showcases how players can use strategic thinking and reasoning to maximize their chances of winning in a game with imperfect information.

3. What are the key concepts in game theory?

The key concepts in game theory include Nash equilibrium, which is a state where no player can improve their position by changing their strategy, and the prisoner's dilemma, which illustrates the tension between individual and group rationality. Other important concepts include dominant strategies, mixed strategies, and zero-sum games.

4. How is game theory applied in real-world situations?

Game theory has a wide range of applications in various fields such as economics, political science, biology, and psychology. It can be used to study and predict the behavior of individuals and groups in competitive situations, negotiate business deals, and even design voting systems.

5. What are the limitations of game theory?

Although game theory can provide valuable insights and predictions in many scenarios, it also has its limitations. One of the main limitations is that it assumes rational decision-making by all players, which may not always be the case in real-world situations. It also relies on complete and accurate information, which may not always be available. Additionally, game theory models can become quite complex and may not always accurately reflect real-life scenarios.
