Do a search for ICM. A bot would basically make all +$EV plays according to ICM, and that's all that's needed to beat the 11-33s.

A big weakness of ICM as it is, is that you have to guess as to what the others players range is (and often be wrong, which is often overlooked when people claim a call is +1.3% or whatever).

A player independent bot doing ICM calculations would be like a blind leading the blind.

Of course one could always assume a medium range and be slightly off most of the time, but it would still probably be able to play profitable SnGs at the lower limit. Just not optimal.

I agree with you that it wouldn't be optimal, but I do think it could beat the god-awful 11 and 22 players for a decent clip.
