ChatGPT's play style changes significantly with the GPT-4 model. GPT-4 exhibits more advanced understanding of poker, including valuation of starting hands, playing positions, and game theory optimal strategies. Unlike GPT-3.5, which played conservatively, GPT-4 plays with a loose and aggressive style, making it more challenging for opponents to exploit its strategy.
ChatGPT can effectively teach poker strategy by analyzing hands, offering advice on bets, and providing overall strategic guidance. It showcases an advanced understanding of the game, but it is not a game theory optimal player. While it can help improve decision-making and correct basic errors, it may not transform amateur players into experts.
ChatGPT analyzes past poker game performances by examining hand histories, which are plain text records of the hands played in tournaments or cash games. Users can upload these hand histories to ChatGPT and ask the AI to rate their play. ChatGPT then provides a detailed analysis of the hands played, offering opinions on the bets placed and suggesting strategic improvements. Additionally, ChatGPT's coding ability allows for advanced analysis, such as running Monte Carlo simulations on specific hands to determine the probability of success or failure.
