Nice site!

I drop by actually to ask some stuff. But I don’t know if they will make a sense. I’m just a starting player, hope you could help me.

Well, my for my questions – can I tell other players at the table what I actually got? How about if me and 1 guy are left? And is there any computer that can be superior to human players, like for an instance in chess?

Thanks a lot! Your help will be very much appreciated.

Barry,

It is against the rules to share you cards with another player. This is giving an unfair advantage to other players at the table. When you are heads-up with a player sometimes things are a little different. It is still against the rules to tell your opponent what they have. In some instances, if your opponent is all-in you can show them your hand without penalty. Some card rooms allow this. Others do not. For example, at the World Series of Poker, this is not allowed since you are trying to get a read on the other player.

In regards to a computer that is superior to human players, there has been an example of a computer outplaying a human. In July of this year, the computer program Polaris outplayed a set of six human professionals. The program won 3 games, lost 2, and tied once. However, this program was developed by a research team at the University of Alberta. Most computer programs are not sufficient to play and defeat a normal human opponent.
