Kurt Lange, President of Biotools Inc. talks about Poker Academy 2.0, the best card game which draw attention from ESPN, GameZone.com, and PC Gamer, the biggest names in sports and gaming:
HoldemRoom: How did you managed to make the Poker Academy 2.0 game so challenging?
KL: This is due to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) we used. That gives you the feeling of playing against a human, not a bot. Most of the times they play better than a bot would do.
HR: Poker Academy Pro 2.0 is far more advanced when it comes to game play than the rest of the poker games. How did you managed to do it?
KL: I have to say experience. Biotools has more than 10 years of AI development and this is why we are ahead of our competition. Thanks to that our bots are adaptive; they adapt their playing style to yours.
HR: That means that this game can also be used as a training tool, or as a way to improve your game?
KL: Exactly, this program can help you even understand the game faster than the regular poker game. The improvement is that you can analyze all your previous hands and by that you can then adjust your playing style, you know where you made a mistake and you won't do it again.
HR: What is playing against the bots like?
KL: They play better than most people. They have strategies, and even of you consider them weak at the beginning of the game eventually most of the times you will end up losing.
HR: So you lose no matter what?
KL: No, you can adjust the bots level as well. You can make them play very good, very bad and something in the middle. Also you can adjust their playing style such as lose or tight.
HR: By who was this technology developed?
KL: Some graduates from the University of Alberta developed our AI. They are very skilled in their work.
HR: Are all the Biotools game developers, poker players as well?
KL: We enjoy the game and like playing it. I play it most of my free time and have been playing it for the last ten years especially with my wife. I have also participated at a World Series of Poker tournament.
HR: Why is the game rated "Mature"?
KL: The game received a Mature rating because it gives gambling tips. They considered it was harmful, but who wants to gamble gambles anyway and without some tips they would end up losing all their money.
HR: Were can Poker Academy 2.0 be bought from?
KL: Well basically you can order online at poker-academy.com but also you can buy it from other places such as Fry's, Circuit City, and Wal-Mart.
I would like to thank Mr. Kurt Lang for this interview and for the free copy of Poker Academy 2.0 and I can assure you that the game is worth buying.
