Zusammenfassung: 
Poker is a game of skill, much like chess or go, but distinct as an incomplete information game. Substantial work has been done to understand human play in poker, as well as the optimal strategies in poker. Evolutionary game theory provides another avenue to study poker by considering overarching strategies, namely rational and random play. In this work, a population of poker playing agents is instantiated to play the preflop portion of Texas Hold'em poker, with learning and strategy revision occurring over the course of the simulation. This paper aims to investigate the influence of learning dynamics on dominant strategies in poker, an area that has yet to be investigated. Our findings show that rational play emerges as the dominant strategy when loss aversion is included in the learning model, not when winning and magnitude of win are of the only considerations. The implications of our findings extend to the modeling of sub-optimal human poker play and the development of optimal poker agents.
