An experiment analyzing large language models' understanding of poker hands revealed discrepancies between their in-game reasoning and post-hand reflections. In three observed instances, models like Deepseek 4.1 Flash, Grok 4.7, and GPT-6 Astra provided accurate, log-consistent explanations for their actions during a hand. However, their subsequent reflections on the hand's outcome often contradicted their own play or misstated the final hand composition. The author hypothesizes that models may generate reflections based on the known outcome and a generic template, rather than re-evaluating their specific in-game decisions. AI
