[ExI] AI poker

[William Flynn Wallace]

 It also has the advantage of perfect memory of every hand played and every
time an opponent bluffed.

I am not sure of the rules these hands are played under, but if a bluff is
not called, the usual procedure is that the losing opponent is not able to
see the winner's cards.  You have to pay to see them, is the way we put it
when we played.

That way we just don't know if the person bluffed or not.  The only way to
see if it is a bluff is to call the bet and see the cards.  So that would
change the whole game.
