Default Re: LA Times Article 6/12: \"Poker \'Bots\' Are Upping the Ante\"

What gets me is that the guy building the bot can't even beat the .02/.04 game. Wow.

Suppose some programmer knows nothing about chess but wants to build a chess program. So he hires a grandmaster to advise him and he gets to work. Very soon, the programmer will learn enough about chess to beat complete beginners, won't he? How can this guy spend five nights a week preparing his program for a competition and still be unable to beat .02/.04?
