DNA Starts to Learn Poker

DNA is used to implement a simplified version of poker. Strategies are evolved that mix bluffing with telling the truth. The essential features are (1) to wait your turn, (2) to default to the most conservative course, (3) to probabilistically override the default in some cases, and (4) to learn from payoffs. Two players each use an independent population of strategies that adapt and learn from their experiences in competition.
