It's 21. ;^)

"So if you devise a point system you can figure out the computer's next action..."

Multi-player doesn't have this problem, but a computer that plays and bets strictly according to the rules won't be much of a challenge. Hold 'em is a game of betting tactics and strategy - the cards are a means only. ;^)

In my experience, betting figures larger than probability in determining who wins - both hand by hand, and over the course of a session.

Good luck!

Ofcourse I over simplified :) Certainly some things could be done a little randomly. I could make the computer remember how the human player plays certain hands. So some hands the pc will play based on strict rules and others based on player's history.. There're probably other ways to vary the computer's behavior. Nothing compares with a human opponent ofcourse (that's why I am writing multi player first).
