About Poker |
Poker
is the quintessential American card games, just about
as American as apple pie. It was even played by our
founding fathers, and another form was played by Native
Americans before the arrival of the Europeans.
In the nineteenth century, every state and territory
west of the Mississippi River had casinos. And most,
if not all, offered poker. Poker was played on the gambling
riverboats cruising the Mississippi in Mark Twain's
day (just as it is today).
In the late nineteenth century, poker was played in
plush casinos in New York and other big eastern cities.
When the New York City casinos were shut down, the casinos
moved upstate to Saratoga Springs, where poker was played
in "Lake Houses," because many of the casinos
were located near a lake.
At the turn of the century, the famous gambler Richard
Canfield owned the most popular casino in Saratoga Springs,
called The Casino. Many of the richest industrial giants
of the time played in high stakes poker games at this
location.
Around 1910, political reform and a progressive movement
swept many corrupt local governments out of office and
closed down all casinos, so, like alcohol soon after,
poker was relegated to the back rooms and "speakeasies"
of the day, where it flourished.
There is a Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and a Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus. So it's about time to introduce
the Fundamental Theorem of Poker. Poker, like all card
games, is game of incomplete information, which distinguishes
it from board games like chess, backgammon, and checkers,
where you can always see what your opponent is doing.
If everybody's cards were showing at all times, there
would always be a precise, mathematically correct play
for each player. Any player who deviated from his correct
play would be reducing his mathematical expectation
and increasing the expectation of his opponents.
Of course, if
all cards were exposed at all times, there wouldn't
be game of poker. The art of poker is filling the
gaps in the incomplete information provided by your
opponent's betting and the exposed cards in open-handed
games, and at the same time preventing your opponents
from discovering any more than what you want them
to know about your hand.
