Poker AI definitions

Poker AI Glossary

Clear definitions for the poker technology terms that show up in AI, stream production, online security, solver study, and live poker policy.

Poker AI

Poker AI means artificial intelligence systems used to study, automate, analyze, secure, or produce poker games and poker content. It includes solvers, bots, RTA detection, stream computer vision, and security tools.

Poker Artificial Intelligence

Poker artificial intelligence is the broader technical category for AI applied to poker strategy, livestream analysis, computer vision, behavioral analytics, game integrity, and casino security.

RTA

RTA stands for real-time assistance. In poker, it means using software, a solver, a script, or another person to help make decisions while a hand is still in progress.

Poker Bot

A poker bot is software that plays poker automatically or makes decisions for an account. Bots can range from simple scripts to more sophisticated systems that imitate human play.

Solver

A poker solver is a study tool that calculates strong strategies for poker situations using game theory and decision-tree analysis. Solvers are legitimate training tools when used away from active hands.

GTO

GTO means game theory optimal. In poker, it usually refers to balanced strategies that are difficult to exploit, even if they are not always the highest-profit strategy against a specific opponent.

OCR

OCR means optical character recognition. Poker stream technology uses OCR to read player names, pot sizes, stack sizes, cards, and other on-screen text from livestream overlays.

Computer Vision

Computer vision is the branch of AI that interprets images and video. In poker, it can detect cards, graphics, player regions, chip movement, facial behavior, and stream state changes.

Poker Stream Technology

Poker stream technology refers to tools for capturing, reading, indexing, clipping, and analyzing poker livestreams. Poker Stream Clipper is an example of a poker stream technology workflow.

Wearable Poker Tech

Wearable poker tech includes smart glasses, earbuds, watches, hats, or other devices that may capture table information, transmit data, or privately display information during live poker.
