Mike A. Caro (born May 16, 1944 in Joplin, Missouri) is a professional poker player, pioneer poker theorist, author of poker books, and casino executive.〔(World Poker Tour profile )〕 ==Author== In 1978 he contributed 50 statistical tables to Doyle Brunson's ''Super/System'' and wrote that book's chapter on draw poker. He acts as a consultant to many casinos, providing odds, and he helped develop the Poker Probe, the first serious commercial PC program for analyzing poker situations. He is the founder of the Mike Caro University of Poker, Gaming and Life Strategy, the world's first permanent poker school. He was one of the few people who believed in the 1990s that real money online poker would work (most people said it would not). Caro is the author of a number of books about poker, including: * ''The Body Language of Poker'' * ''Bobby Baldwin's Winning Poker Secrets'' * ''Caro on Gambling'' – a collection of his columns published in ''Gambling Times'' magazine * ''Mike Caro's Book of Poker Tells'' – There is also a companion Video/DVD * ''Caro's Fundamental Secrets of Winning Poker'' * ''Gambling Times Official Rules of Poker'' * ''Gambling Times Quiz Book'' * ''Master Hold'em and Omaha Poker'' * ''New Poker Games'' – Descriptions and rules of esoteric or newly invented poker variants * ''Odds Quick and Simple'' * ''Professional Hold'em Play by Play'' * ''Poker at the Millennium by Mike Caro & Mike Cappelletti'' * ''Poker for Women: A Course in Destroying Male Opponents at Poker and Beyond'' He also has made multiple videos, some of which correspond to his books. He was formerly editor in chief of ''Poker Player'' magazine and senior editor of ''Gambling Times'' magazine. Mike Caro coined the famous poker tells "Weak means Strong" and "Strong means Weak", meaning that players will try to fool other players by acting the opposite way of the true strength of their poker hand.〔(Mike Caro's influence on poker tells )〕 In 1984 at the World Series of Poker he demonstrated Orac (Caro backwards), a poker-playing computer program that he had written. Orac was the world's first serious attempt at an AI poker player, and most poker professionals were surprised at how well it played. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Caro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
