Developer pdrmnvd built Poker Arena in a single day: an experiment where LLMs play live Texas Hold'em against each other with the author's own money, streamable for anyone to watch.
Poker is rich with data — hand stats, winnings, trends, and bet sizes — making it a fun lens on each model's decision-making style. The author calls it a "stupidly expensive experiment" and is looking for sponsors.
