This field was properly acknowledged in that episode. Although mathematical game theory isn't discussed much beyond that gag, I still appreciate the acknowledgement.

@@LupineArchive The number of unique orderings is 52! = 8 * 10^67. Estimating the 52 card deck originated around the year 1500, gives about 500 years of shuffles, you would need 4.4 * 10^62 unique shuffles each day to get them all by now. That doesn't mean two random shuffles weren't the same, just incredibly unlikely. Going for 10^59 years brings it down to only 2 million unique shuffles per day before a card ordering is repeated. With the number casinos, number of tables/decks in each casino, plus everyone else playing with a deck of cards in the world, that seems very reasonable across the entire world, just have to keep shuffling.

@@acoupleofschoes let's give a well-overestimated 100 shuffles per person on the planet per day, that'd be 800 billion or 8 x 10^11 shuffles per day. so we need 10^56 days - or 2.7 x 10^53 years - to get a duplicated shuffle. That's, what, 270 thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion years? Better yet, let's say each person on the planet was running a supercomputer that could churn out 1 million shuffles per second. Then that'd be 8 billion x 1 million x 86,400 shuffles per day = 6.9 x 10^20 shuffles per day, requiring 1.2 x 10^47 days or 3 x 10^44 years to cover them all - that's 300 million trillion trillion trillion years.

TED-Ed has upped the ante with this poker video

I love both poker and game theory, but hadn't known how important the former was to the conception of the latter!

Poker origins are believed to stem from different card games in Europe and Asia, gradually morphing into the game we recognize today. The 19th-century United States played a pivotal role in its evolution, with poker gaining traction in various forms, from community games on riverboats to smoky saloons during the Gold Rush era. The game continued to evolve and gain popularity, especially in the 20th century, with variants like Texas Hold'em capturing the imagination of players worldwide. Nowadays online platforms popularize this game 😁. Do you think it's legal to play poker online, isn't it more like a gamble.

Greetings from Deadwood, SD! The final resting place of Wild Bill Hikok.

I began to play poker on discord and discovered a game full of mysticism, variance but strategy. I always loved games like go and chess but poker has something special. A magical aspect that seems to never amaze because of the different stories that are told every hand. That being said, it is still a betting game, so one has to remain aware of the dangers of not managing your bankroll correctly.

How do you play poker on discord

I'll never forger when I first started playing Hold em. It was right after the 2002 WSOP when Varkoni won it. My friend had a table and we would go over his house once a week. We were all Soph in HS. Then in 2003 it got huge cause of the late night poker show on the travel channel, and then Moneymaker winning on ESPN. Fun times man.

Juegazo ❤ the perfect game

Love the animation style

I'm here because of that Beyoncé song. From South Africa 🥰 didn't know what a Texas holdem is...

What an opening quote

It is the variant with the perfect balance of having the most concealed information, while still having public information. Also, a lot of credit has to go to ESPN's coverage of the main event in 2003. Many people say it was the "Moneymaker effect", but I disagree. While I also started playing poker because of that tournament, I didn't care about him, I just found the coverage of the tournament to be entertaining and I wanted to play.

Starting with that Tony G quote is wild ifykyk 😂

And regardless of the version of poker, the ranks on hands (from best hand down to worst hand) are based on rarity of natural occurrence (no wild cards/no cheating) in Five Card Stud.

4:37 i swear everything reminds me of Mat Pat seens he announce he’s going… But that’s just a theory a game theory

What separates Poker from Brag is checking. In Poker, you're allowed to check (to not bet but stay in the current hand) if either you made the Big Blind bet and no one raised it or if no one else has bet yet in a subsequent betting round. In Brag, you must either bet or fold every turn, so you can run out of chips fairly quickly if you're not careful.

Omg… It’s all Game Theory!

it’s ironic that the quote “of course i lied… it’s poker.” came from a hand where Tony G bluffed with the goods. Tony G said multiple times that he hadnt looked at his cards (he did look but no one saw him) so that his opponent Phil Hellmuth would put all of his chips in the pot. It was like a bluff inside of a bluff.

Everyone can play, but most people play badly. The beauty of the game is that the odds are mostly still pretty good for the player that's behind, so bad players will still win more than they would in most other games. That keeps them in. The winning player works out how to use that information over large time scales.

2:14 the boat should be going in reverse!

With out watching the video I'll take a guess. It's TV. You have the cards on the table that the audience can see and they only have to keep track of 2 cards in each players hand. Much easier than other forms where there's 5-7 card in each players hand. Also flipping those cards out adds suspense and drama

At the end, "but heeeey that's just a theory, a GAME THEORY. Aaaand cut"
