this is very cool.

another interesting open-source project for imperfect-information game solving is DeepMind's OpenSpiel:

However as far as poker goes, I believe they only provide toy versions of the game, even though theoretically you could put in your own implementation.

I've noticed that in this part of the AI world, things tend to be closed-source for whatever reason and I think that limits the ability to learn. Seems good to see that changing.

Piosolver is so expensive (pro version is about $1000) so I decide to write a opensource,free version of it. I already check it's preformance and result with piosolver and I believe it's a good competitor.

I love how the Free version of the software says "sold out".

Yeah I am aware of this project, and I am current trying write an alpha-star like AI for another holdem simulator https://www.pettingzoo.ml/classic, I already made some progress and I somehow believe the code for a alpha-star like texas-holdem AI will be released in sometime of the future.

The author of piosolver stop providing the free version for obvious reasons.

The reasons are not obvious to me. Why did they stop? Cheating? Annoying support requests? Could sell for more money?
