Well all it basically is, is a program that reads and stores all of the cards played and knows who to assign those cards to. With that information, the program uses an algorithm that typically used in artificial intelligence to "learn" the patterns of your opponent. The program should also be able to calculate the probability of success, how much to optimally bet, and how to "play" the opponent (i.e. maximizing the money you get from him).

The AI part and the other part described should be able to make a highly informed decision on how to act against a particular player.

Most of these systems dominate most human players at poker and what's more is that they can play for days without getting tired like a human.

Wilson, Happy Early B-day Dawg. Have a good one. Btw I haz 19 credits

"Narrow DOF" would also work then... Bokeh is the product of a very narrow DOF.

My programming skills are nowhere near that level, so if someone can program it; I can explain what math to use. Although, I would be more concerned with how to collect my winnings, as the poker sites actively search for this kind of stuff.

Ok sensei jeez. Next you're going to want me to type out 'laugh out loud'. I shortened it, that's it.

Craig knows how to program

Eh, the price difference isn't worth it too me. Plus, I like the extra weight... makes me feel more secure with having my camera mounted on top of it, lol.

start an e46fanatics online poker tournament and fleece all of the members of their money as a test trial?

How is that relevant I was taking issue to your use of the term, not your abbreviation

Last time I checked DOF was 3 letters, and bokeh was 5. Most people learned in photography would immediately understand what I meant when I used DOF in that sentence. I specifically mentioned not wanting the increase the f stop, which would imply that I wanted more bokeh.


So hah!

During my summer break I went to nyc for a week. Well I figured I'd stop by the B&H super store and just stroll around. They had a deal on all tripods and I'd heard that manfrotto/giottos/etc were really nice tripods so I bought one. You know what I mean, compared to the shiet you mess with at best buy, manfrottos are amazing

Well I just liked how light the cf ones were compared to the regular ones, and they are so much more badass. It's never given me a blurry photo, even in 40mph wind gusts. Good enough for me!

People also type "would of" instead of "would have" or "would've"... whether I understand what they mean or not, they still look like an idiot

That's just straight ignorance though. You know that I know what the correct term is. Ahh.. a flaw in your argument.


Anyways, I always use 'would/could have'. Same when people write mine/mind as well instead of 'might'. I find that hilarious .

Yup, they're awesome tripods! If they were equal price, I probably would have gone the CF route myself, lol. I just couldn't justify it at the time. Mine weighs 7 pounds or so... not too bad, but adds up with light stands and stuff on your shoulders.

I too went to B&H while in NY (because I forgot my charger at home ) It's such a trip in there! I had to go to the counter to get the charger and they already had my info in their system from when I buy online... I gave them my number and he said "Blake?" I was like... uhhh... yeah! lol... it's just funny to go on the opposite side of the country into a store I've never set foot in and they pull up my info, haha.

I liked the overhead trolley system they had, it was awesome

It's not a flaw. DOF refers to the property while "narrow" or "wide" are the descriptive terms you're in fact looking for (narrow in this case.) No matter how you look at it, you're wrong, lol.

And yeah, those people too... can't stand it haha

It was so cool... I get up to the customer service counter, tell 'em I want a charger, he asks "OEM or generic" and I tell him generic (there was like a $40 difference), he punches it in his computer and tells me "it'll just be a couple minutes..." and I say "ok..." haha. Moments later the charger strolls up under the counter (the counter has clear red plexi so you can see it roll in), he shows it to me and I say "That's it!" and he tells me "It'll be downstairs for you to pay for in about 5min"... it was crazy, lol.

I kinda want to visit this B&H photo place now...

New York in general I need to visit. Flown over it a good many times, but never actually gotten a good look at it. A lot of the east coast I need to see.
