Cyborg Poker Night

Cyborg games: a human and a computer working together to play a game better than either could alone.  There are Cyborg Chess leagues out there, but how about having a Cyborg Poker Night?

Background

Cyborg chess is a special kind of league where each “player” is actually a human-computer team. Gary Kasparov is a proponent of Cyborg chess, saying it will lead to higher quality play and “blunder free” games. Most Cyborg chess today is played by a human sitting in front of a chess engine. The human gets proposals from the engine and types in potential moves to be evaluated. But I think there’s more potential. The computer can present information to the human in interesting ways which help the human better visualize the position of the board.
