John von Neumann studied a simplified version of poker where the "deck" consists of infinitely many cards, in fact, all real numbers between $0$ and $1$. We harness the power of computation, both numeric and symbolic, to investigate analogs with finitely many cards. We also study finite analogs of a simplified poker introduced by D.J. Newman, and conclude with a thorough investigation, fully implemented in Maple, of the three-player game, doing both the finite and the infinite versions. This paper is accompanied by two Maple packages and numerous output files. |
