"Nash’s idea was applied to heads-up poker to find an approximation of an equilibrium strategy—which is optimal play by both players. This new program was named Sparbot. Sparbot had a simpler and more elegant approach to poker than Poki; it would not play to win but merely to not lose. In heads-up poker, unlike other games of skill, this can be a profitable strategy. If your opponent plays well, a Nash-optimal strategy will break even over the long run; but if the opponent makes any serious mistakes (such as weak betting, or folding too much), they will lose money. Sparbot forces its opponent to accept that breaking even may be their best scenario."

My laptop died, grandma pc can't run java and test Sparbot. :good:

Is Sparbot using push top x% strategy? Or some other strategy?
